DESCRIPTION
--------------------------
Node gallery enable users to create a more flexible and powerful gallery. It is
fully integrated with Drupal's core node system. Users choose what kind of
content type they want to be the "Gallery" type, and what kind of content type
they want to be the "Image" type. When such a relationship is established, users
can batch uploading "Images" into "Gallery", editing them within "Gallery", or
just deleted them.  Because "Image" and "Gallery" are both node types, one can
naturely use Drupal's taxonomy module, comment module, VotingAPI, CCK, Views and
other powerful modules to enhance the gallery.

FEATURES
---------------
- Node as image, node as gallery.
- Use drupal's core batch system to do batch operations such as uploading,
editing etc.
- Naturally integrated with the taxonomy system, comment system, VotingApi, CCK
module and others. Everything you can do with nodes you can do to your gallery
and images.
- Per user albums.
- And many more other features. 

REQUIREMENTS
---------------
- Upload module.
- Imagecache module.

CONTRIBUTION
---------------
- Node_gallery_access module. Control the access type (public, private,
password) of your gallery. Note: This contrib module is extremely unstable and
should not be used on production sites 

INSTALLATION
---------------
When you enable the Node Gallery module, it automatically creates 2 node types
(one for Galleries and one for Gallery Images), three imagecache presets (cover,
display, and thumbnail), and establishes one node gallery relationship (Linking
Gallery and Gallery Image). All you need to do is configure the permissions for
the content types.

Out of the box, you can create a gallery and then start uploading images.
However, you may wish to customize the imagecache presets or the settings for
the default relationship.

Important Note: The three imagecache presets created by the Node Gallery module
will be deleted if you disable the Node Gallery module, so it is recommended
that you only use these presets with Node Gallery. However, if you modify the
Node Gallery presets, they will be saved into the system and continue to exist
without regard to the Node Gallery module being enabled.
