Hi there,

I am looking for a combination of the news module and an image/movie gallery.
I want my pupils at school to simple add images/movies to text/news (all in one module)

I looked at the Catalog module (testversion) which does this but in the end the thumbnail images open a new browserwindow with the full image and from there on you can't choose a new image.
That's what I like about 'Another Image Gallery' the next/previous links. Besides the wonderful file attachment option is broken.

I also looked at the MediaBlog which is wonderful as well but you can't add images/image gallery but attaching movies is simple and works!

-----------

So how difficult is it to combine two modules?
To what do I need to pay attention when I start doing this?
Is it even possible?

Any help/advise is welcome!

greetings,

MacSmet

Same here...

Would love to have a news page in combination with Another Image Gallery for every single news item.

@macsmet

Combining or altering existing modules is not difficult, if you know some php and have the patience to puzzle it out.

Learning how modules work, take a look at the new helloworld module (wich has many informative remarks in the different php files a module existst of)

Then maybe start with Mediablog as it seems to do allmost everything you need,
steps
rename mediablog to galleryblog (or something else)
then work your way from there.

The forum will be here if you have particular questions Smiley

Good luck, and happy coding,
John
