Imagecache
Monday, November 2, 2009 - 16:06
Instead of using a editor to display images I am using the Imagecache module. The module lets you set up presets for image processing. I created a newspaper site once, where one image had to be displayed in four different sizes. Headline story, thumbnail, archive and recent posts. Imagecache is perfect for this.
With a few steps you can create different sizes for images and tell content-types where and how images should be displayed. You definitely need some other modules when using imagecache.
CCK - http://drupal.org/project/cck
Image - http://drupal.org/project/image
ImageApi - http://drupal.org/project/imageapi
Imagefield - http://drupal.org/project/imagefield
Imagecache - http://drupal.org/project/imagecache
Download the official release of these modules, installing them is as easy as cut and paste.
1. After installing the module goto Site building - Imagecache. When ready click the Create new preset.
2. Give it a name and click Save preset.
3. I'm gonna resize it and clicks resize.
4. 80*80 pixels is suitable for thumbnails I think. Click update action. Thats it. Now wwe have to tell the content types that they should use this preset.
5. Goto Site Building and Content types.
6. Choose manage fields on the content type you wish to the imagecache preset to be diplayed.
7. Create a new field. It should be File and Image.
8. File extensions
9. Since this is my gallery I choose unlimited. Hit save field setting.
10. Click on manage fields, hide label, teaser and in the full node select list choose the preset you created with imagecache. Installing the thickbox module you will automatic have a thickbox view option.
Comments
rss feeds?

it really depends on the source I think. I`m a member at Behance myself and have to check the rss possibilities. You could also check the module section on drupal.org if there are any behance connection modules.

Thank you Morten, well thought, never remembered RSS possibilities, don't know if Behance have them but i'll check it out!
The functionalities i want are a little difficult to create from a feature "closed" website like behance... From Facebook i believe it could be possible...
I would like to integrate behance comments with my own website, so if somebody posts something in Behance, it could be seen in my website and vice-versa..
About a module dedicated to it, i already searched but i couldn't find anything.
Thank you man, all good for you

I have a question
I have a question about a thing I think it's not possible... anyway...
Didn't see nothing about comments options in drupal, so, i'll ask right here...
Let's say i have a Behance account, and i would like to integrate comments in my drupal website... Would it be possible?
Your website is really well designed and i'm reading almost every tutorials you have:)
Thank you Morten
