morganhowland.com was a portfolio site for Moragn Howland's photography. Morgan is a professional photographer who was looking for a very simple site layout that would allow him to easily update his photo galleries on a website and provide a slick way for users to browse his work. He didn't want a whole lot of bells and whistles.

The site was built on top Drupal 5.x and leveraged the image, cck number, flash_gallery, and some custom themeing work so that the order or the images in the galleries can be changed.

The theme used is a slightly modified version of cleanstate, with the logo done by David Clark.

This ability to change the order that images are displayed was a specific request from Morgan, and a feature that was not bundled with flash_gallery. Providing this feature was achieved by adding a number cck field to the image node, then overriding the theme_image_gallery() function of flash_gallery.

The code below shows how this ordering was implemented

function cleanstate_image_gallery($galleries, $images) {
  drupal_add_css(drupal_get_path('module', 'image_gallery') .'/image_gallery.css');

  $size = image_get_sizes(IMAGE_THUMBNAIL);

  $content = \"\";
  if (count($galleries)) {
    $content .= "

"; foreach ($galleries as $gallery) { $content .= "
• "; if ($gallery->count) { $content .= l(image_display($gallery->latest, IMAGE_THUMBNAIL), 'image/tid/'. $gallery->tid, array(), NULL, NULL, FALSE, TRUE); } $content .= "

  ". l($gallery->name, 'image/tid/'. $gallery->tid) ."

  \n"; $content .= "
  ". check_markup($gallery->description) ."
  \n"; $content .= '

  '. format_plural($gallery->count, 'There is 1 image in this gallery', 'There are @count images in this gallery') ."

  \n"; if ($gallery->latest->changed) { $content .= '

  '. t('Last updated: %date', array('%date' => format_date($gallery->latest->changed))) ."

  \n"; } $content .= "
\n"; } $content .= "

\n"; } if (!empty($images)) { usort($images, 'compareImagesByFieldOrder'); $content .= '

'; foreach ($images as $image) { $content .= theme('image_gallery_img', $image, $size); } $content .= "

\n"; } if ($pager = theme("pager", NULL, variable_get("image_images_per_page", 6), 0)) { $content .= $pager; } If (count($images) + count($galleries) == 0) { $content .= "

". format_plural(0, "There is 1 image in this gallery", "There are @count images in this gallery") ."

\n"; } return $content; } function compareImagesByFieldOrder ($x, $y) { if (isset($x->field_order[0][value]) && !isset($y->field_order[0][value])) { return -1; } else if (isset($y->field_order[0][value]) && !isset($x->field_order[0][value])) { return 1; } else if (!isset($y->field_order[0][value]) && !isset($x->field_order[0][value])) { return 0; } if ($x->field_order[0][value] == $y->field_order[0][value]) { return 0; } else if ($x->field_order[0][value] > $y->field_order[0][value]) { return 1; } else { return -1;} }
