Image Gallery Wish List

the image gallery is currently rudimentary some things it could use are
  • image re-sizing and rotating
  • bulk upload
currently you can upload the high quality image from your digital camera and it makes a thumbnail and web size image on upload, you click the thumbnail to see the web size and click the web size if you want to downlad the full quality image.

one bug I noticed recently is if you have multiple galleries on one page and you scroll pages it scrolls them all not just the gallery you clicked, easy to fix when I get to it.

Re: Image Gallery Wish List

Once you get a lot of images in one gallery, you end up with a lot of thumbnail images at the top and the selected thumbnail shows the web size image below which you must scroll the web page down to see. Then you must scroll the web page back up to select the next image. (I am viewing within IE6 with a 1024x768 resolution with three rows of thumbnail images being displayed.)

An example of how it currently looks with multiple photos is at http://www.lonestarihc.org/Default.aspx?ItemID53=5&mid=53&pageindex=5&pageid=34&pagenumber53=1 (This was from an antique tractor show I attended last weekend in Lebanon, TN.)

Several ideas to help with navigation within the gallery:

* View as slide show button with speed selection of slow, medium, fast, and manual (i.e. http://news.yahoo.com/photos/ss/events/sc/010605shuttlenasa/p:1)

* Place thumbnails in a inline frame with choice of placement (top, bottom, left or right).

* Next and Previous buttons under web size photo

* When signed in as an admin of the gallery, be able to move photos to other galleries.

* When signed in as an admin of the gallery, be able to rearrange the order of the thumbnails with arrows (or drag and drop), rather than have edit each entry to renumber the display order.

A choice for the "Caption" placement (top, bottom, left or right) would also be nice.

Bulk uploading would be extremely helpful.

Re: Image Gallery Wish List

Thanks Todd,

I will certainly consider some of those suggestions for future releases and of course if you want to help with any of that feel free to have at it.

Have you tried going into the module settings for your gallery and experiment with some of the settings like uncheck the compact mode checkbox and see if you like that better.

Cheers,

Joe
