[Module] PhotoGallery

Hi,

I’ve converted the Easy Peasy Gallery 2 from an Etomite Snippet into a MODx module. Now called Photo Gallery

I would like some help with testing this module before we roll it out to the public.

Cool! We definitely need a good photo gallery. That seems to be one of the first features anybody asks about in a CMS system. I’ll test it out tonight.

Seems to work very nicely. It’s a lot more powerful than I anticipated. I’ll have to put this to use on a few sites.

I didn’t do any really serious testing but everythnig worked just fine the first time around.

Hi Adam,

Thanks for the response. I like it very much. I also think that Nick (the author or the Etomite version) is a very good programmer indeed.

Sorry to not install and test, but how do you handle adding images to this gallery?

Can you add a zip folder full of images, or bulk-upload via the browser multiple images simultaneously?

How about sorting/captioning images?

well bulk upload is not supported as yet but Nick said it’s on his to do list

$etomite should be replaced with $modx !

the installer does not install db upgrades ... any idea what I am missing ?

Actually, the call ($etomite vs. $mod) shouldn’t matter at this point.Other than that, no clues here.

I got it installed but I am not sure how to hook that up to the frontpage.

For that matter how to connct any module to the frontpage?

Thanks

You need to first run the module then select the "Install Galleries" button. You can get more information by clicking on the help button located to the top right hand corner of the module window.

In short, to display the gallery inside a web page use [[PhotoGallery? &id=`<gallery id>`]], where <gallery id> is the id number for the gallery to be displayed.
