Importing images using the Imagefield_Import module

May 29, 2010 - 11:40 — Oliver Davies

Thanks to Bob at Mustardseed Media for tweeting about this module. It's undoubtedly saved me hours of work today alone!

I've recently started a personal project converting a website to Drupal. It's currently a static HTML/CSS site which also uses the Coppermine Photo Gallery. As part of building the new website, I wanted to move all the photos from the existing site onto the new one. However, with 1260 photos in 17 albums, this could have been a lengthy process!

Create a Slideshow of Multiple Images using the Fancy Slide module

May 26, 2010 - 21:42 — Oliver Davies

Whilst updating my About page, I thought about creating a slideshow of several images instead of just the one static image. When I looking on Drupal.org, the only slideshow modules were to create slideshows of images that were attached to different nodes - not multiple images attached to one node. Then, I found the Fancy Slide module. It's a jQuery Slideshow module with features that include integration with the CCK, ImageCache and Nodequeue modules.

Following on from previous Blog posts about Automatic Node References and the Node Picker Module, I have now found the Keyword Link module!

Quickly Create Zen Subthemes Using the Zenophile Module

If you use the Zen theme, then you should also be using the Zenophile module!

The Zenophile module allows you to very quickly create Zen subthemes from within your web browser, as well as editing options such as the site directory where it should be placed, the layout type (fixed or fluid), page wrapper and sidebar widths, and the placement of the sidebars.

Conditional Email Addresses in a Webform

Whilst doing some additional work on the Costley & Partners website, I created an advanced 'Contact Us' form using the Webform module. However, as well as the additional fields that I'd created, I also wanted a drop-down menu where the user could choose either 'General enquiry' or 'Website feedback', and for the message to be send to the associated email address - the same as the feature is available in Drupal's core Contact module.
