Node_Gallery: Photo Gallery management for your website

            Versions 6.x-2.0-alpha10   6.x-2.x-dev  |  Drupal 6.x  |  Site Administrators  |  Site Users  |
 

Node Gallery provides a photo gallery for your site using 2 content types, a (gallery) content type and a (image) content type. The (gallery) node displays the (image) nodes to form the gallery. Upon installation, the required settings are automatically created so you can start posting galleries right away.  Node gallery provides an easy to use interface for creation and editing functions within each gallery. A great gallery solution, perfect in small and large websites for new users and seasoned professionals as well. The Drupal core structure of node gallery provides endless possibilities. Simply Awesome!
