A new photo album manager : Gallery

[derAuge]

Not without hacking the code (default path settings) on top of the file Gallery.module.php

It should be very nice, to owerwrite this Defaults in following Versions in the preferences or in the config.php (or both) (like the thumb-settings).

Is that possible? And will it implemented?

ist this in Work ??

No, I'm currently giving priority to other functions/enhancements

I love your module it's perfect and very flexible !!!

This recursive use of the {Gallery} tag to show subgalleries images would be great for my XML exports needs !!!

Add my praise

Have a nice day...and in case there's already something in SVN I'll take the risk ... just please let me know

Hi there,

I recently installed the Gallery module and am loving it!

However, when I create a new custom field (applied to images) of type WYSIWYG, it does not appear as a WYSIWYG in the image properties page - just a regular text field. Am I doing something wrong, or is there something else I can check? I do have the tinyMCE module installed, and its test page does show the WYSIWYG editor.

Thanks!

[Jos]

Very strange, it works for me. Are you sure you didn't mix up custom fields for galleries and images?

[unwire]

I'm sorry, it was my fault. The "WYSIWYG" preferred editor in my user profile was set to 'none'.

I do appreciate your response. Excellent module!

Hi, Gallery is really a great module but I've a little bug with it:

When I insert param like show='all', prettyurl goes wild and it doesn't find page.

The good (without param):
www.site.com/gallery/galleryname/pageID

The bad:
www.site.com/gallery/galleryname/all-pageID

Anyone?

[Jos]

I will look into this... I never used that param myself

Hi, I want to find a way to have pagination on thumbnail display page, but ignore pagination while in popup (fancybox) mode and be able to navigate thru whole gallery folder. Is it possible? For now my slideshow stops on last picture of current page.

Or mayby you can recommend other tricks to make it work ? I was thinking about some 'fake pagination', where only set of thumbnails changes, but not page url. But there is already 400+ thumbnails and numbers will grow, so this page could be too slow.

[Jos]

I guess it is possible if you don't need to navigate to other thumbnail-pages. But I don't know if you want that.

[Erhaoen]

I'm not sure I follow: I want to be able to view thumbnail subpages, yes. But I don't need to find myself on other thumbnail page than the one I started slideshow from. Is that what you're asking?

[Jos]

I'm not sure I follow also
I was thinking about this post: http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/viewtopic.php?t=41491
With this you can show one thumbnail and have the rest hidden, but still navigate through all the images with fancybox.
It should not be to hard to show lets say max twelve images and have the rest hidden. But you won't have any navigation to the next twelve thumbnails

[Erhaoen]

Nah, been there few months ago and you helped me with similar problem, and part of it was to 'make sure fancybox doesn't go through all the images of different subgalleries'. This time I'm looking for something opposite

I'd like to have pagination, let's say 12 thumbnails per page and be able to view all subpages with thumbnails like it is in default template. What I want to change is this limitation when I cycle through enlarged pictures, slideshow stops on last picture of current subpage. I would like it to go further without stop, but I tried different variables and even if it's only one gallery folder, I can't find a way to call all it's content when using pagination. But there must be a way, I can feel it

If I'm wrong, I'll go with your idea and I'll call 12 different thumbnails per page and add pagination links manually, this should work I guess.

[Jos]

No that is a completely different subject.

I figure that is currently the only way

Just a quick cosmetic suggestion for the back-end: Divide folder views into tabs. Many end-users make use of the Gallery for maintaining portfolios or image banners etc, and it would make editing a much easier process if each gallery was divided into tabs, such as:

* Images (list of images/subgalleries)
* Options (title, description, custom fields etc - things that wouldn't be changed very often)

The benefits would be that the user wouldn't have to scroll to see the list of images/subgalleries, and the 'Add subgallery' and 'Add images' buttons would be at the top of the page.

Another suggestion would be to allow custom fields to apply to a particular gallery (and, optionally, all subgalleries) only. For example, one gallery might be 'portfolio' and contains various subgalleries which require custom fields, however these fields are not required for anything outside the 'portfolio' category. When adding the custom field, you just need to add a drop-down to choose the gallery it applies to, then a checkbox 'Applies to all subgalleries'.
