    This is an auto-generated topic for <a href="http://modxcms.com/extras/package/642">Gallery 0.1-alpha3</a> by splittingred.

    Brief Description:
    Gallery is a dynamic Gallery Extra for MODx Revolution. It allows you to quickly and easily put up galleries of images, sort them, tag them, and display them in a myriad of ways in the front-end of your site.



    - Fixed a bug due to changes in Revolution SVN. This version of Gallery is for Revolution RC1 only.



    - Note: This is in alpha, so you might find bugs. But it should work as expected.



    See the official documentation here: <a href="http://svn.modxcms.com/docs/display/ADDON/Gallery">http://svn.modxcms.com/docs/display/ADDON/Gallery</a>

      I’m doing some test with this package and I have some requests:

      • Be able to select multiple files at once to upload (not just a whole folder, also possibility to select a few files)
      • Be able to filter the backend view so you can only view pictures with a tag in a album
      • Giving a album a parent so you can nest albums
      • Drag/drop for reordering images in a album
      • Custom fields

      a bug I discovered:

      • The thumbs in the back are not aligned the right way when 1 (or several) photo’s have a title, like shown in this image:

        Click for full size - Uploaded with plasq’s Skitch

      Then a last question:

      How do I get the gallerific plugin working? By just adding
      &plugin=`galleriffic`

      to the call it isn’t working (just the same result as without the parameter, even after clearing the cache)
        with regards,

        Already on the Roadmap: http://svn.modxcms.com/docs/display/ADDON/Gallery.Roadmap

        • Giving a album a parent so you can nest albums
        Why would you want this? How would this be useful in the front-end?

        • Drag/drop for reordering images in a album
        This is already implemented.

        • Custom fields
        By ’custom fields’, do you mean per-item?

        Thanks for picking up the bug.

        You need jQuery already in your page.

          I have played with flick and picasa API on Revolution, you might be interested to see how i did it to integrate them with your package?

            I most definitely would. Thanks!

              Will it be possible to use this feature in the manager, so that you don’t need FTP access (like it works with MaxiGallery if you want to sync multiple images at once)?


              • Giving a album a parent so you can nest albums
              Why would you want this? How would this be useful in the front-end?
              Because if you have lots of albums it’s easier to manage if you can click through categories. And it’s also better for the frontend, for example a client of ours has albums like:

              Event1
              - 2008
              - 2009
              - 2010
              Event2
              - 2008
              - 2009
              - 2010
              Event3
              - 2008
              - 2009
              - 2010

              I want to be able to just target the album "Event1" and that it lists all child galleries. Because I want to automaticly update the list of "child" albums if the client add’s a child album. I don’t want him to need to change codes in the content to add a new album for a new year.


              • Drag/drop for reordering images in a album
              This is already implemented.

              You fixed some problems today, but I still can’t reorder images (tested in Google Chrome for Mac and Firefox)


              • Custom fields
              By ’custom fields’, do you mean per-item?
              Yes per item, just like it’s possible with MaxiGallery... think of fields like "camera", "geolocation".. maybe even automatic by reading the EXIF data from the pictures? (that would be a second request then!)

              Thanks for picking up the bug.


              How do I get the gallerific plugin working? By just adding
              &plugin=`galleriffic`

              to the call it isn’t working (just the same result as without the parameter, even after clearing the cache)
              You need jQuery already in your page.

              What jQuery version is needed for that? And do I need to it some Galleriffic specific code?


              I also saw that the plugin doesn’t use the table prefix for it’s own tables, it would be better to use the table prefix. For example; we build all sites in 1 database before we place them in their own database, so there would be a conflict if you build 2 sites with the gallery package.

                I have found the web.css for modifying the gallery snippet, but how do I modify the plugin galleriffic css?
                Where is the gallerific css? huh
                Thank you.

                  Please add a description of placeholders to the svn documentation. And would be useful to get information about the number of images in the album.

                    I still have issues with changing the order of an album by dragging and dropping in the Gallery manager. I can create the desired order, but it just won't save it that way. Clicking 'refresh' after 'save' messes it up again.
                    Help on this would be highly appreciated!
