A new gallery manager : Album

[Elijah Lofgren]

Is there any way to show the latest four images that you added?

Would you want this to be from all the Albums or just a specific one? (I'll file as a feature request)

[MichaelK]

All the albums

Elijah is there a way to 'Upgrade' the Templates from one version to the next?

I just upgraded from 0.5.0-svn to 0.5.0 (which added 'Pats-ImageGallery" template).

The version changes on the 'Modules' page but the new templates don't show up on the 'Templates' page on the Photo Album management screens. They show up if I do an 'uninstall' 'install' of the module but then I have to rebuild all the albums.

BTW Great job on this Module!!

I've just added this feature in the latest SVN version of Album: http://viewsvn.cmsmadesimple.org/viewsv ... m&view=rev

It will be included in the next release of Album

Thickbox 2 with Previous and Next Links

Here is a new ThickBox2 template to use with Album and some revised
CSS (it works with this template and the normal Tickbox template.) It
works the same as Thickbox but now has 'next' and 'previous' links on
the actual image for gallery navigation.
(Please note that I've not included the javascript links in the
template as it make more sense to load this at page or site level.)

Download template and revised CSS:

See it in action

Enjoy

WOW THANKS RUSS!!! 
Your Thickbox2 template ROCKS!
I've add the ThickBoxWithPrev-Next template: http://viewsvn.cmsmadesimple.org/viewsv ... m&view=rev
I've also made it the default template for the next version of Album: http://viewsvn.cmsmadesimple.org/viewsv ... m&view=rev
Sorry it took so long for me to add it.

Glad to have time on his break for CMSMS,

Elijah

When do you think there would be a new release of this module? 

[Elijah Lofgren]

Thanks thanks thanks Elijah

When do you think there would be a new release of this module? 

I really hope to add categories (a much requested feature) and then do a new release before Friday (when I leave on a trip to visit Grandparents). We'll see though. No guarantees.

Seems like the newest Album doesn't like my new template that an older ver. likes just fine, any one have any idea why...

It works here...

But not here...[EDIT: bad link don't try sorry...]
http://multiintech.com/CMSMSDemo/index.php/album.html

Code: Select all

{if $albumcount>0}
<table>
	{foreach from=$albums item=album}
	<tr>
		<td> <a href="{$album->link}"> <img src="{$album->thumbnail}" /> </a> </td>
		<td style="width:500px;text-align:left">
			{$album->name}<br />
			{$album->comment}
		</td>
	</tr>
	{/foreach}
</table>
{else}
<div id="cssphoto">
<hr />
<p>{if $returnlink}<a href="{$returnlink}" >Return to Normal :.</a>{/if} </p>
	{foreach from=$pictures item=picturesrow}
                        <h3>{$album->name}</h3>
			{$album->comment}
	<ul id="gallery">
		{foreach from=$picturesrow item=onepicture}
		<li>
		<a href="{$onepicture->link}"> <img src="{$onepicture->picture}" alt="{$picture->name}" /> </a>
		</li>
		{/foreach}
	</ul>
	{/foreach}<hr /><br />
{if $picturecount==0}No image{/if}
{/if}
{if $picture->id>0}
<img src="{$picture->picture}" alt="{$picture->name}"/>

I didn't get around to adding categories to Album. Also, I think Album 0.8.0 needs more testing before I formally release it. If you'd like to try it out, you can download the XML file here: http://www.elijahlofgren.com/uploads/mo ... -0.8.0.xml
Please file any bugs you find here: http://dev.cmsmadesimple.org/tracker/?a ... unc=browse

Thanks,

Elijah

(I'll hopefully be able to respond on Wednesday after I get back from visiting relatives.)

Hi There,


I test this 0.8.0 module with the latest added pictures, but can I use a template for this so I can manually edit the thumb size? And now it's shows the latest pictures in Thinkbox template.

Is it possible to just view the latest pictures and add a link to it to the page where all the albums are?

Thanks

You can edit the "recently_updated.tpl" file in the "modules/Album/templates" folder. I should put that template into the database like the other Album templates are so that it is easier to edit.

Is it possible to just view the latest pictures and add a link to it to the page where all the albums are?

I'll try to add something like this.

I've made the recently_updated template editable via the Admin Panel: http://viewsvn.cmsmadesimple.org/viewsv ... m&view=rev

You could maybe change it to something like this:

Code: Select all

<ul class="picturelist">
	{foreach from=$pictures item=onepicture}
   		<li><img src="{$onepicture->thumbnail}" alt="{$onepicture->name}" title="{$onepicture->name}"{$onepicture->autothumbnailsize} />
		</li>
	{/foreach}
</ul>
<a href="/page-with-all-albums/">View All Albums</a>
<div style="clear:both"></div>

I hope to release Album 0.8.2 (I skipped 0.8.0 and 0.8.1) with this feature today,

Any chance you could tell me why the CSS template I post above doesn't work?... thanks...

You mean how the Album template posted here: http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/index.ph ... l#msg45669 only displays 1 pic?

http://multiintech.com/CMSMSDemo/index.php/album.html is a 404 now.

I don't know why the other template isn't working, but this seems to do what you want:

Code: Select all
