Image galleries

With image galleries as site builders, we would like to enable our users to create sets of images which are grouped together and can be viewed in a streamlined manner. There are many ways to present image galleries and many ways exist to approach the technical requirement. One example would be to reuse our knowledge of the Views module. To do it, we might need to create a new content type called Picture Gallery, or maybe a better name would be Albums (if that sounds familiar, it's because that's how the big social network players are calling it). For this content type, we will probably add fields such as title, description, dates for when these pictures were taken as well as location field for where the pictures were taken, and finally, an image field for file uploads which allows for unlimited instances of this field. Once we have the content type structure defined, we can create a new view to represent a grid view display of content nodes of this type. Further customization...
