CMS Made Simple Forums

I was searching for gallery module, I tried Album, Gallery, Neogallery, it works - makes gallery from uploaded images... but nothing more! I cant crop thumbnail by myself, i cant easily reorder images ...
If you dont know what i mean just check the Nextgen galery plugin for wordpress - its so powerfull and easy for use in the same time. It gives user real possibility to manage images!
Is there similar solution for cmsms or if you want to have real gallery you need to switch to wordpress?!?

IIRC Album is the only one that doesn't allow you to have specific thumb sizes...

and in gallery you can crop images in sizes you want and change the order of the images...

In gallery module I can only specify size of thumbnails (128x128, 60x60) but not to choose the area.
I will give simple example: I want to create gallery of vertical models photos, its obvious that I dont want automatic thumbs cause it will create small images with belly in front of it... Its better to show the face.
Thats how I can do this in Nextgen gallery:



I cant find this functionality in Gallery module.
Any ideas?

This isn't a thing Gallery can do for you indeed.

But if the cropping is always at the same height like you showed, you can adjust the code a littlebit.
Gallery default crops at 1/3 of the total height, not in the middle. So you can perhaps set this a littlebit higher.

The crop&zoom setting makes the thumb allready get rid of the edges left and right.

Thanks for reply. I have the last 2 questions:
1. How can I set my order of photos? When Im in gallery I see thumbnails I can add description to each photo but there is no up/down arrows like in articles managment.
2. Where can I find the settings needed for automatic resizing of large images (maximum in pixels)

It's a drag&drop thing on the rows with the thumbnails. Note the change of your pointer.  8)

There isn't such a feature (yet)  :-\

Hi,

You might have a look at JeremyBASS's new SuperSizer plugin, announced here:
 http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/index.ph ... 094.0.html

Put simply, the plugin allows you to manipulate images in various ways (including crop) "on the fly" and cache the results for reuse.  I've been testing version RC 0.9 with the Gallery module to automatically reduce the size of uploaded photos that are unreasonably large. It has worked well and been quite stable, at least for me.  ;)

Hope this helps,
Fred

Thanks again!
Moving thumbnails works perfectly - drag&drop is very easy.

And plugin super sizer is great thing too - works like a charm. I changed the fancybox template in Gallery link to zoom image from href="{$image->file}"  to a  href="{supersizer path=$image->file width="800" URL="true" }" and now I dont need to worry if someone will put too big image!

I think Gallery is the best one so far for CMSMS, and one thats still in development which is great, I did try to get a drag and drop upload working using Rad Upload and it worked to a point, but for multiple galleries its tricky.

That SuperSizer plugin sounds useful, think ill look into using that too.

Hi, great gallery mod, the best yet.

Im using the fancybox template, how do i see the comments get displayed, it only shows the title. Also, is there a way to include url's in the title or comments and make them clickable? Thanks.

Thank you thank you, most appreciated 

I guess fancybox is not that suitable for displaying the comment. Here's a topic how this can be done with lightbox http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/index.ph ... 638.0.html

In a similar way you can adjust the moduletemplate to include the image url. Click on the infobutton right beneath the template field for a list of all the variables you can use.
