Nice. Can you give a hint on how you made the custom formatter "Collage". Please?

[Deciphered]

@sharmcliff The Collage formatter code is in the test feature used for this video which is available at github.com/Decipher/wf_test

It isn't anything amazing, just quick and nasty, but one day I would like to make a smart formatter that re-arranged the images based on dimension and some base templates.

@Deciphered I'd like to use the "collage formatter". How to insert in my D7 ?

[Deciphered]

@mbinax I haven't made the 'collage formatter' for Drupal 7, however the code for the D6 version is available at github.com/Decipher/wf_test, and you're more than welcome to attempt to port it.

I would love to make a Collage module of some sort in the future, but my free time is limited, so it would likely only happen on behalf of a client.

Any plans to bring this to D7?

[Deciphered]

@animelion Yes, the D7 branch is in active development and I would love to have it ready by Drupalcon Denver, but no guarantees.

[Deciphered]

@ronhelwig Yes, it's this one after your turn the sound down...

The dropdown is the the formatter being used to render the fields.

The images are stored as per standard ImageFields are stored in Drupal, as they are standard ImageFields.

I will do a more in depth video explaining how to set this up and how it all works once I have a stable release for Drupal 7, but given the lack of sponsorship on the project I have limited development time at the moment.

[ronhelwig]

Is there a version without the incredibly annoying music, and with explanations? What was that dropdown with the three choices? How/where are the images stored?

[Deciphered]

@TheMbahlol As it's just a CCK Field you can install the 'FileField Sources' module to re-use an image.

Alternatively, and a better approach, you can have an Image content type and use a Node Reference field to insert it as an Image using either a Custom Formatter (via the 'Custom Formatters' module) or using the 'Formatters for Node Reference field' module.

how about reuse images
