user profile gallery

Status: 
Open
Question: 

I downloaded the "ultimate community site guide" but I'm having trouble following the section on creating an image gallery.

When I create my view, "block" isn't one of the view types - I tried creating a "user" view as well as a "node" view. With in the view I added a "Block" display, but they require fields. In the example in the PDF, it shows "this view type does not utilize fields.

Also, for the empty text - I only have filtered and full html input options, so it's just rendering the php code as text.

I have advanced profile kit installed as well as node_gallery. Could these be causing conflicts?

1. Select node first. Then

Select node first. Then you'll get the block option on the next page. Select the display mode: node, this will not require fields.

Select the input type PHP code (need to enable the php filter module)

2. thanks... still having a bit of trouble

I must be missing modules or something? Having two issues now:

I had the image gallery module installed which seemed like a duplication of what I was creating by following your community guide. I disabled the image gallery module and created a new content type as directed in the guide... When I try to add the "picture" field, I don't have "Image" as an option in my drop down. I verified that I have ImageField installed. Any ideas why this would not show up in my Field Type list?

On the view, I don't have a display type = view? Just attachment, block, content pane, date browser feed, and page.

Thanks!
