On 9 May 2011 I will be presenting the basics of Git to the Brighton Area Drupal Group. I am going to present a set of slides by Scott Chacon who has put together a selection of Git resources.
In parts one and two I described the problem and how to set up the flickr module and a content type which make the member's gallery page.
The resulting node edit form is far too complex for most users, it is asking for information it doesn't need (the body, comments etc.) and for flickr information which is awkward to obtain (the set id) and to cap all of that the set id has to be entered twice.

In part 1 I set out the problem and the aim. This post will cover setting up the modules required to display a gallery. The custom coding needed to make creating galleries a breeze comes in part 3.
This is part one of a series of posts about how to allow site members to create a photo gallery which contains photos from a Flickr photoset. The tricky bit was making it very easy for site members to create a gallery.
I have decided to start a blog. Photography, Drupal and version control systems (Subversion and git) will get mentions among lots of other subjects.
