Drupal image management
- by vian
Please suggest how should I approach these requirements. What ready-to-use solutions (modules) are best suited to achieve something like this:
What I need is an image library that has searchable, tagged images that are already resized when we publish them. If the author searches
the library and the image he needs isn’t there, he can upload one and have it added to the index. The important thing is that images in the
library can be sorted into three categories: News images, top story images and feature images so that, over time, we don’t end up with
hundreds of images crammed into one folder, thus making browsing a pain (and to prevent someone from something like: Searching for a
keyword so they can find an image for the news, picking an image, and then seeing it’s 1600X. 1200). Also, I need something which will
assemble thumbnail galleries easily. I don’t want to have to go to the image library, get a URL, go back, paste it in, etc. I should be able
to pick, say, 8 images and say “create gallery”. How this objective is achieved is flexible, but I am looking for a shortcut to get around
assembling screenshot galleries by hand.
