Gallery Assist | drupal.org: "What does Gallery Assist?
The module 'Gallery Assist' provides a nodetype prepared with gallery functionality."
Interesting here. I was able to get this up and running very quickly.
Another website I have sues the following:
ImageAPI 1.6
ImageCache 2.0-beta10
Node Gallery 6.x-2.0-alpha10
Lightbox2 1.9
CCK 2.6
CCK ImageField 3.1
But when I tried to recreate it on a new website, I continued to have issues. Gallery Assist worked right away. I need to evaluate both a little more and also see why my original solution is having issues.
