Support/Comments for Easy 2 Gallery 1.4.0-RC1

OK, thank. Nope, not ready to make my own modules yet.

Cool, how far away is your new plugin?

I still need to rearrange and apply the new features.
Perhaps 1 month.
So, keep the RC1 for a while.

Tip on tagging:

I don’t know whether you have tested this.
You can apply the multiple tags for the batch tagging, separated by commas.
Both Adding and Removing.
And the script will check whether each of the folders/images has each of the tags.

Updated: e2g-1.4.0-rc1-r246.zip

(The MODx’s server seems has trouble)

This update is the answer for some questions/requests from kadavr - about WATERMARK-ing in slideshows, adegens - about description in iframe, which actually simple but had a significant change on templates. The [+easy2:link+] now doesn’t need [+easy2:id+] anymore, since the link itself should be able to switch between original link to image folder, or generated one using show.easy2gallery.php.
The complete reference can be seen on the Help tab menu.

Here are the changes summary:

• &img_src - the image source for pop-up iframe thumbnails: `original` | `generated` (default) => (sample)
• &ss_img_src - the image source for slideshow: `original` (sample)| `generated` (using thumb creator, default).
• &lp_img_src - the image source for landingpage: `original` | `generated` (using thumb creator, default) (sample)
• easy2 plugin - only to count the snippet’s instances, so this time each snippet call has its own ID (as sid-snippet’s ID) (sample). Very helpful for multiple galleries on one page, even from the same gallery ID.
• description in iframe - not using title, but description, as the caption. (sample - click the Tower statue). What I did is a sample, please fix other libraries if you need to, by referencing their sites.
• some STRICT clean ups - thx to Kristalin
• last but not least, almost all the libraries have been updated. One thing you should realize, you should follow their licensing if they ask to.

I made a separation between generated image and original, because the generated ones actually cost your server’s space to hold their new _thumbnail pictures.
So if you have a very limited space on the shared hosting, you can use all the *img_src=`original` images.

As you are using Shadowbox as one of the plugins, would it be possible to create galleries using .flv, .swf, iframes (to load external pages), YouTube, etc.

Thus creating a multi-media galleries too.

Or would this be something for e2g v3?

hehehe... well, ever thought about it once.
[!easy2? &media=`video` &format=`flv`!]

I’m having a bit of a problem getting the snippet to populate the gallery in MODx.. iam getting the following error when hitting the page I setup for the basic gallery call..



I’m not an expert MODx dev, so I expect I’m missing something simple but keep banging my head against the wall trying to figure it out.

Any ideas?

look at the most end of the code.
you missed the LIMIT parameter.
Check the limit parameter in your snippet call (1) or on your module’s config (2).

I have installed Easy Gallery 2 1,4,0-RC1 and can get it working using a basic snippet

However what I could like to be able to do is display the images in a filmstrip gallery. I’ve looked at the examples in http://arslantic.co.id/evo/galleryview.html but don’t see who to link the sideshow to a gallery folder?

Can anyone help-Please?

[!easy2? &gid=`2` &slideshow=`galleryview` &ss_config=`filmstrip` &w=`100` &h=`100`!]

if there is no &gid parameter in the demo’s call, it’ll use the default &gid=`1`
