![]() Great, now we have a custom field template override in our theme. ![]() Clear cache and if all went well, you should see this print out. … just above where the actual code starts after the comments. Go back to your custom field template and type in: It won't look like much right now, probably just a jumble of images on the page. ![]() Add a new node with some images and save it. We'll get back to this file later but first go ahead and create some Gallery content. ![]() Be careful if you are using the Semantic Fields module, it trumps naming of regular fields even if you don't have a semantic field set to the display here, but simply pay attention to the vars output and you'll be good. You can also use the old standard print variables method as well as such: ' var_dump ( get_defined_vars ()) print '' ?>įrom this, I learn that a good candidate file for my custom field template is: field_field_gallery_image What's in a Name?įrom the above, we can extract the correct name for the template, convert double underscores to double hyphens and likewise single underscores into single hyphens. There's a few ways to do this, you can make an educated guess or you can use the Devel Theme Developer module to figure it out. We need to come up with a specific name for the file so Drupal will recognize it and correlate it with your custom image field you created above. Ha, that's us! Copy the file into your theme's template folder and rename it. This file is not used and is here as a starting point for customization only. What I'll do is copy from the Drupal core /modules/field/theme/ folder. Next, let's create our field template, this will override the rather typically nasty output that Drupal gives you and allows us for nice minimal HTML output. It's up to you what styles you want to use but for the sake of the tutorial, I'll use medium to large but you can create your own image styles and use appropriately. This allows you to set a style for the image and what it links to. Now manage the display of your Gallery content type and you'll see a new option called "Image link to image style". You can also download the tar file for the module, place it in /sites/all/modules and then enable it through Drupal's module page UI. drush dl image_formatter_link_to_image_styleĭrush en image_formatter_link_to_image_style Next, we need to tweak the display for our new Gallery content type go ahead and download and enable the Image formatter link to image style Module. I name my imagefield ' Gallery Image' with a machine name of field_gallery_image. In my case, I'm attaching galleries to other node types via the Drupal References Module which has node_reference built in as a sub-module. I remove the body field, but you may want to keep it if your gallery is going to be stand alone. Allow unlimited images to be added and be sure to activate both alt and title tags. Create a content type, we'll call it "Gallery", and add an image field. The first thing is to fire up a basic Drupal 7 install. We'll also use a little jQuery to tweak things and put it all into action. I'll be customizing a basic field template for the image grid as well as the Image formatter link to image style Module which allows you to link a small image from the photo grid to a larger image style in the lightbox. For the lightbox, I'll use Magnific Popup which is an MIT licensed responsive jQuery lightbox script. For the photo grid, we'll be going old school and simply use a combination of display: inline-block and text-align: justify with percentage based widths on list item elements. There are two parts to the gallery, the responsive grid of photo thumbnails and then the actual larger image style in a lightbox, both of which will be responsive. This tutorial will focus on creating node photo grid galleries that can either be stand alone or attached to other content types. I thought it would be nice to share some methods and practices that I've learned. Lately, I've been designing and developing photo galleries for both clients and myself.
