Using Views to embed an Image gallery in another node
I want to create an image gallery using the "Image Gallery" module, but instead of having the gallery displayed on it's own page, I'd like to embed & display the gallery in another node.
I created a "Plant" content type using CCK, which just consists of a bunch of text fields containing various information about a plant species. I'd like to display the text fields first, and then display an image gallery of all photos of that plant species, below the text fields. I've been looking around for a way to do this, and it seems like Views would be a part of a solution, but I can't figure out exactly what to do ... any ideas?
Thanks,

panels are a way to use views in nodes
with http://drupal.org/project/panels you also get panels node as a content type. you can show views in panels - and in a panel node too. this would be my way to solve your problem.
attention: don´t take me as an expert. i am using drupal since a couple of years and found some solutions for problems i encountered. so i share this one with you.

Look at Views Gallery,
Look at Views Gallery, http://drupal.org/project/views_gallery. It's brand new but may do what you want.
Dynamic display block module options
When you did not solve this you can set this up with the dynamic display block module.
Have a look at the howto: How to create an Advanced slideshow with multiple imagefield images in a node
Simply embed "Image Gallery" within a node!! Not possible??
Same problem as jrtayloriv.
I have spent several days now trying to find a simple solution (which I think should exist) to embed existing image galleries in their corresponding nodes - photos of monuments at the foot of the corresponding monument instead of having to put a link to a different, independent gallery page.
The Node exists, the Gallery exists.... 1 + 1 = 2 isn't it? Even a newbie like me should be able to do something that simple.
Only work arounds seem to be mentioned, through views +CCK, panels, gallery2 (which needs a lot of additional stuff) or other modules. Some of these solutions seem to be incompatible with Image.
Why additional modules? Isn't there just a simple option or code to do 1 + 1 = 2 and use the already existing resources??? Something that adds the possiblity to include Gallery X (by Taxonomy) in the edit screen of the node?
I'm not sure why you're even
I'm not sure why you're even asking in Views.
If the gallery you're creating is a view, use views_attach.module If the gallery you're creating is not a view, Views is uninvolved.
Just Image Gallery from image module
In my case: I am simply using Image Gallery from the image module D6.
Several monuments, each monument with some pictures. Each picture with it's specific Image Gallery Taxonomy to belong to the specific group corresponding to it's monument.
Instead of telling people from the monument's (text)info page to "please go and see the pictures somewhere else (link to the corresponding image gallery)" I just want that those same few thumbnails appear above or under (but together with!) that text info. Sounds simple, doesn't it?
@merlinofchaos
Missing an easy option like 'include "x" Image Gallery in this node' and in an attempt to avoid additional modules, patching, coding or any other abracadabra I have tried with views.
Got as far as generating series of thumbnails through filters:
- Node type = image (of course)
- Domain access = available on current domain (yes multiple domains for Sevilla, Granada, Cordoba, etc...(Spain))
- Taxonomy = ????? this is the problem, I don't want one specific term for the thumbnails I want a term depending on the page.... how to achieve that? Instead of Filter, use the page title as term name and then use it as argument??? but I don't want any "?" in my URL. Is that possible? I go and try that now. ***
Attached the export of my Image-gallery-for-nodes view.
O hey, I would even be happy with the PHP code I would need in the "body" to call a taxonomy specific Image Gallery.

*** by the way, now that I'm on it:
I have a comparable problem for another website I'm trying to develop (all under Drupal is always just "trying" for me, and it takes ages).
Same situation with views: for a former student group I have created the website for the people of my year. For the "1983" guys I filter the users through their role=1983. Now if I want to extend the website to more years I would like to filter each "year-user page" by a role="current user's year" filter. But filter only allows me to use specific roles (=years), can that be made dynamic?
Attached too
Skip the image module
I've create a "gallery" for each node a number of times using the ImageField module. This sets up another CCK field to hold the images. You just set the field to multiple values and call the field gallery.
Then you can either style the output via: display fields and imagecache presets, or use the node template to style them... or embed a view [1] [2] of that node's field values (which isn't even necessary since it's all preloaded in the $node.)
Architecture wise, I think it makes sense to have the images within the node object rather than as node objects themselves... when that's the case. However if you have an image/photo site, then perhaps an image node makes since. My two cents.
