Collage Formatter for Drupal 7 with Photobox module
Installation and setup
- Download and install like any other Drupal module
- Create a new multi-value Image field for your content type or use an existing one
- Go to Manage display for your content type, set Image field Format to "Collage" and adjust the settings
The module uses "collageformatter" image style; you can override defaults and add more image effects to it if you want - just do not apply any image dimensions changing effects after the "Collage Formatter" effect.
