Creating a new CCK field from an imagecache preset? - drupal

I have an image gallery for which I have configured an Imagecache preset. It's my first time using Imagecache so I am not sure if I am using it right.
Right now, I see that I can only configure the CCK imagefield to show me the imagecache generated image in either the preview or the full node version of the field.
I would prefer to have a new CCK field with the imagecache generated picture. Is this possible? Is there a module for this?
If it isnt, how can I customize my gallery view to show me the preview version of the image, instead of the full node version, which it is currently showing?

Assuming you have defined an imagecache preset called preview, you can create a view display of your gallery_image node type that uses fields rather than node view and selects the field content_name_of_your_image_field and set the display of this field to preview. If you want to turn this into a gallery, you can link this field to its node, and choose the Grid view style from the menu on the left.
I am guessing that you are probably about half way through these instructions already (unless you are using a horrid image gallery module to create your image gallery).

How to add galleries to nodes in Drupal 7?

I have site with news, and I want to make it possible for admin to add image gallery to articles (nodes) he wants. So, the idea is to make gallery image field for every content type from which images should be taken, and if admin wants gallery for that article he can upload images, if he don't he can just leave it alone, and Drupal renders that node without gallery perfectly normal.
So, I made that gallery image field for every content type, and used Views module for taking and rendering pictures. But, whereas Views taking pictures at content type level, not node level, that is the reason why unpleasant consequence appear: gallery from particular node, shows on every node of that type.
My question is how to make galleries relative to particular nodes (specific gallery for specific node). And it should be extremely easy for admin to manipulate.
Theres a few modules you could use for this:
https://www.drupal.org/project/node_gallery or
https://www.drupal.org/project/field_slideshow
Since you've already created the field, you could probably use Field Slideshow and it will turn your image field into a slideshow on the display for the node.

How to make collection of the galleries on same page in drupal 7?

I need to have page that is collection of the galleries. Every gallery has to be represent by one image. When user click on that image whole gallery that image represents should open. And the same thing for every image. Something like on this site.
Of course there is non elegant way where for every gallery we have to make new content type, and views for each of it. But I want to make it easy for client to add new gallerias, without building views every time. Is there a module that makes collection of galleries. If someone want to help me and lead me step by step it would be appreciate.
You can do this using Node gallery module,
The Node Gallery module allows you to create multimedia galleries
where both the galleries and the gallery items are nodes. (as opposed
to gallery items being file fields, like Media Gallery)

Add node CCK fields to a lightbox image?

I have a view with different nodes and an image with lightbox functionality.
I need to add some CCK fields of the node to the lightbox overlay. In other words, I don't want only the image to be displayed in the lightbox, but also some CCK fields of the current node.
What's the easiest way to do it ? Should I code it, or is there any module to customize lightbox ?
ps. My node is an Ubercart product. I also have Price, Order button, not only CCK fields.
thanks
I've solved by using the lightmodal option to include any html code and using "custom formatters" module to assign it to each image.
Successively I've edited my node.tmp.php file for being displayed in the lightbox.

The IMCE module lets you browse images on the server and select them for inclusion in your compose field.
Its very late but...here is the answer IMCE Filefield
Cheers!!!
There is also the ImageField Assist module. Inserting already uploaded images is as easy as clicking an image button. Some details about it (from its project page):
This module can use every single ImageField field added to any node in a Drupal 6 website, and uses ImageCache presets to display it.
