Imagecache

Imagecache is required by Node_Gallery.

Parts of Imagecache will be in Drupal 7 so feel free to use Imagecache and modules dependent on Imagecache.

How to set up an image gallery in Drupal describes how to set up an image gallery using Node_Gallery and Imagecache. Node_Gallery requires Imagecache so set up Imagecache before Node_Gallery. Installation and configuration of Node_Gallery is described in Node_Gallery.

Prerequisites

ImageAPI provides an image processing service to Imagecache. Install ImageAPI before Imagecache.

Installation

Download Imagecache from drupal.org/project/imagecache. This page is based on version 6.x-2.0-beta10, a 65.9 KB download from 2009-Aug-20.

Configuration

Imagecache has only two permissions, administer imagecache and flush imagecache. There are no other settings.

Imagecache automatically sets up a directory named /files/imagecache/.

Optional modules

Imagecache has an optional user interface module that we are not using because we installed Imagecache purely to serve Node_Gallery. You could switch on the Imagecache UI module if you want to use Imagecache manually.
