I would like to display just single image from field with multiple upload option enabled in my View. The best would be to display the first uploaded image, but It does not matter.
I have tried to add that galerry field to field, and was looking for some settings that will give me that option to show only specific or some images.
Is it possible in View to display single image from gallery?
From views if you are using views to display you content
There is settings for multiple valued field you can display specific number items or single item
Just click on that field you will find this setting
If you need to control this from your node display
Single Image this module helps you
Thanks

I need a little direction. I've created a content type that has both, images and videos attached to a node. I need to create a single frame slideshow that riffles through the mixed media. Currently, I'm using the Embedded Media Field as well as the ImageField to upload the content. I'd like to keep that within the same content type if possible. I was considering separating them and then using taxonomy to make them relational, but that sounds convoluted. At this point, the slideshow displays them both, together.
Could I add both fields to an array in a template file, then return them as one field?
It sounds like you want to add some markup that encapsulates both fields. If that is the case, you can re-write the output of the fields.
Try this:
Edit the "Content: Slideshow main image" field
Enable "Exclude from display"
Click Update
Edit the "Content: Upload Full Size Video" field
Enable "Rewrite the output of this field"
Here you can add whichever markup you want and make use of the field tokens. For example, something like <div>[field_slideshow]<br>[field_upload]</div> Note: The token values will depend on the names of your CCK fields.
Also, for Drupal related questions, there is a separate Drupal Answers exchange where you might get more targeted help.
I'm making a views slideshow of some images.
These images have a title.
I would like to expose this title as a drop-down list filter.
I'm able to do this with pr-configured filter values, but i want this list to be build by the values that the end users gives as a title to a image. (or made of another field like description etc...)
So, when a user uploads images with a title "vacation", i would like this value to come up in the exposed filter in the views slideshow...
Thank you
This can easily be done using the Views Reference Filter module.
Create a views page with the fields you wish to display.
Add an Entity Reference display to your view.
Set which field should act as your search field in the format settings of the Entity Reference display (in this case Content: Title). Remove or exclude all other fields for this display only (override).
To your page display add a filter Content: Nid (entityreference filter) and expose it to visitors. Remember to select the correct view in the "View used to select the entities" drop down if you have more than one Entity Reference views.
Optional steps:
Enable Ajax for your view.
Set the exposed form style setting to auto submit.
If I were trying to accomplish this I would add a taxonomy vocabulary for these images, then I would add a field to the image content type referencing this vocabulary.
After that, I would use create a Rule that would react to saving a new image and add a new taxonomy term to that image that is the title entered.
You can then easily create a filter in views to filter off that taxonomy term and expose that as a dropdown. By doing this each image should have a taxonomy term attached to it that is the image's title. As images are added the taxonomy terms should appear in the dropdown.
Let me know if you need any additional guidance.
I am trying to display different content types on Drupal as views slideshow, including twitter, images, and blogs. Currently they are all saved in a field (unlimited value fields). I am going to extract these values to nodes as views only accepts node type values. I am wondering what is the best way to do it? I am new to drupal and can think of following ideas:
1. Use one node type, and create a display mode for this node type with customized codes
2. A separate node type for different content types, and each node type with some display mode
3. A minipanel for each node type,is it possible to display it in view slideshow?
4. some code to get data directly from fields, and export to views?
5. Or I use Colorbox and completely forget about View Slideshow?
Please help. Thanks.
You must set all the content types you want to pull in the query in the "edit" form of the view. It is not possible using only the one-step setup, you must choose "continue & edit" and then add different content types to your slideshow view.
Currently I have a Drupal installation which has colorbox installed, this allows me to upload a group of images with some text, each entry is its own entity but are all listed on the same page.
I was just wondering if there is a way that I can display a custom link under each views item (entity). Is this possible?
I'm looking for a quick way to simply add a link that links to the first image of the colorbox image slider.
First, set your Format to Show: Fields. To do so, click the link next to Show: (refer to the picture below) and change it to Fields.
If your Format is set to Show: Fields, you can add a new field of type Global: Custom text. Then, in the text box that appears, simply insert your custom link. If you need to pull in the URL dynamically, use a Replacement Pattern (see the list under the text box).
If you need to use another field as a replacement pattern, add it in the same way as you added the Global: Custom text field but make sure to check the Exclude from display checkbox so that it is not shown in your view.
First take a look at my node setup here: http://imgur.com/a/DJdRw
The first image is my Subpage slider content type which accepts multiple images and will essentially be my slideshow.
Second image is the default page, but I added a node reference to the Subpage slider node. It allows you to associate a particular slideshow to a page.
The last image I was messing around with Views and Views Slideshow, but I don't know what I'm doing. I managed to get images displayed, but as you can see it displays the images of a long vertically. I set the Views slideshow and it creates a slide between multiple nodes and not the multiple images in ONE node.
Where do I go from here?
Thanks
To display a block with a slideshow of images (from a referenced node) when viewing a page
I have come up with a much easier ("duh" moment) way of doing this. I created the functionality on a fresh Drupal install. Assuming you have the following modules: CCK (w/ Node Reference enabled), Views, Views Slideshow, FileField, ImageField.
Create your content types (in this case: slider and using the core page type)
Add an imagefield to the slider content type (field should be named field_images)
Add a node reference field to the core page content type (field should be named field_slide_ref)
Edit the node reference field settings (can remove "Required" if you like)
Create a new view called slideshow
In the slideshow view:
Change Basic Settings->Style to "Slideshow"
Add the field "Content: images" (choose Format: Image at bottom, unless using ImageCache)
Add an argument of "Node: Nid" with the settings:
Add a "block" display
Enable your new block labeled "slideshow: Block" at example.com/admin/build/block
If configured correctly, when viewing a page with the _slide_ref_ field referencing a slider node, you should see the slideshow displayed in the block.
Old Solution...
To display a referenced slideshow inside the page node being viewed:
Download, install and enable the View Reference module
Create your content type with multiple images (Subpage slider) [Done]
Create a new "page" view in Views UI. Add the field Content: YOUR_IMAGEFIELD (from Subpage slider) important: don't group the images, under Basic Settings->Style choose "Slideshow" and add an Argument of Node: nid choosing Provide default argument->Node ID from URL as argument settings
Create a view reference field on your page content type where you want to see the slideshow and select the view(s) that can be referenced and in the "Arguments" fieldset check: Allow delimiter seperated values and click "Save field settings"
Now when you create a default page there will be a view reference field to select the view you want to use and an argument field where you can input the node id of the node with your images you want to show as a slideshow in your page.
THE QUICK SOLUTION: a really simple tweak which the Views Slideshow docs should put in lurid bold gothic writing:
If you want to slideshow multiple images from an image field of one node ** don't forget to untick the "Group multiple values" checkbox in the settings for your-view>Fields>your-image-field **
This outlines how to make a slideshow of images that are taken from one node. The main point here is that you have to make a block that has an argument of node id taken from the url. I used this to make a slideshow showing as a block in the main content area, but you can of course put the block anywhere.
Modules:
CCK
imagefield
views
views_slideshow OR jCarosel
Create your Content Type with an image field, allowing multiple values.
Create content with multiple images, distinct enough so that you can tell if the images are from one particular node or another node
Create a new view as a node.
Create a Block display
Give your block a name (under Block Settings, left column)
Filter as: published, as your Content Type and with the image field (important - see last step why).
Field: your image field.
Make sure to uncheck the 'Group multiple values' checkbox
Display as an image, or an imagecache preset. Whatever you like
Add an argument:
Node: NID
For 'Action to take if argument is not present', select 'Provide Default Argument'
Node ID from URL
Under 'Basic Settings' select
If using views_slideshow, select the Style to be: Slideshow (Single-frame).
Items to display: unlimited
Save your View
Go to your Blocks page (/admin/build/block) and place your newly created block into the main content area (or wherever you want it to be). If you need to set the visibility on the actual block itself (/admin/build/block) then go ahead but otherwise only nodes of the content type that has multiple images will show the slideshow of images, while other pages on your site will not. This is why it is important to set a specific filter and to use the argument.
Done!
Essentially, this does not work as a page but has to be a block. The slideshow will use the NID to see what images are in that node and create a slideshow of those only.
Should work the same in Drupal 7 but have not tested this.
The solution is to add as argument not the 'node id' but the 'slideref field' and provide default argument 'nid by url' and the slideshow by node will work.
You can use the Views Nivo Slider as well.
