Support/Comments for EvoGallery 1.0-beta1

sharkbait,

I am trying to lock-down/client-proof the module. It allows the client to add a gallery to any resource. I need them to only add photos to a specific template type. The snippet works great. I just need to control the module a bit better.

Hi Bravado,

Thanks for all your work on EvoGallery, it is a blessing to use such an intuitive and flexible image manager with MODx

I think I may have found a bug - I only encounter it with an RTL language (Hebrew). The first time I upload an image where the name is in Hebrew, it generates a black thumbnail in the EvoGallery Module. Next time I visit that page to view the images attached to the resource, it is fine though.

This only affects admin of EvoGallery, not front end thumbs.

Here is a sample Hebrew word if you (or anyone) want to rename an image and test for yourself:
יוגה

best,

Paul.

sharkbait,

If you use the ManagerManager call you can just include the snippet call in the specific template so they only see the Manage Pictures link when using that template. Would there not be a way to use permissions for the user so they never have direct access to the module?

hi there!

at first the obligatory thanks to all the contributors! great work!!

after some searching i decided to try evogallery for my second modx-project due
to its ’size’ and flexibility which IMHO fits nice accordingly to the ’modx-spirit’

there are some quirks (like the sorting) which get fixed though... thanks again!

after all, i needed a way to allow admin-users to manually set the thumbnail from an image,
found ’imgareaselect’ ( http://odyniec.net/projects/imgareaselect/ ) and decided to integrate
this functionality into the module.
due to its nature, this involved modifications on some (too many;) files - may be that’s not the
optimal way, but works ok...

in short:
a) additional code for ’js/imgareaselect’ plugin
b) additional button inside ’.thbButtons’ called ’editThumb’ with its own image
c) additional code inside ’templates/upload.js.tpl’ which utilizes the already installed ’overlay’ plugin
d) additional code inside ’classes/management.class.inc.php’ for setup of ’.thbButtons.editThumb’ and callback of ’editThumb’-form
e) additional template in ’templates/thumb_edit.html.tpl’
f) some tweaks in the css-files

i am sorry that i can give no url to look inside, but thought it might be of some interest.
if you like, i can post additional details about the single steps -

regards, _s

Hi - any thoughts?

Thx.

Hi,

Firstly, thanks for generating a great gallery solution. However im having a problem with the images overlapping my text. I’ve installed everything as per instructions and it works fine and i uploaded images without issue.

The images only seem to overlap the text in certain browsers, in IE it looks fine images at the top then text. However in firefox and Google Chrome the images are ontop of the text.

I’ve pasted the standard snippet code onto the top of the page where i want the images to appear, (is this correct)

Any help is appreciated

Many thanks

sounds like a CSS issue and not a problem with the EvoGallery snippet.

Looks good, gonna give this a try, i dont suppose that any example templates are in the works? Im going to try the templating and placeholders but itd be helpful for examples

Hi,

Nice module, really needed.

However, here are one little bug easy to correct.

• 
  CSS for image management in manager , the thumb receive no dimension and when you use some "large" thumbs the template is crashed
  in screen.css, for p.thumbPreview img I added some width in order to limit the place it takes, preventing the thumb to overlap the forms elements on its right.
• 
  May be a good idea to use and expandable css background for div.overlay in overlay.css instead of a fixed image (white.png) and adding a background-color in screen.css to .contentWrap
  

To improve the gallery may I suggest you to add in the module some logic to add NEW field in its database has oops as needed.
For the moment it uses title, description (+ the tags).
I did some hack to manage 2 more fields (evo_misc1 and evo_misc2) giving 2 more place holder.

This could be very useful to build some evo gallery centric page.

For example, in a portfolio case, ONE page list all data for portfolio and a little bit more that description looks like needed, plus another field containing eventually a link to an independent Modx page, and/or an external links too.

Regards

Hello everyone,

I have installed EvoGallery with managermanager TV and I have interesting behaviour. I have two documents. Each contains his own gallery, in back-end everything is ok, however in front-end both documents share same pictures (two galleries merged to one).

I’m using this call:

[[EvoGallery? &display=`images` &type=`simple-list` ]]

Any help?
