    Hello,

    I’m planning to start work on the next version of MaxiGallery sometimes soon and I’m interested to see what is the most wanted feature by you guys. I have put some of the major task from my mind to that poll and feel free to post new ones here also..

    So... Speak now or forever... whatever. CAST YOUR VOTE! grin

        Possible to set all thumbnails to be cropped to a certain size squares, no matter what the original shape/size is. (achieved with phpThumb)
        P.S. this is what I would like to see A.S.A.P.! smiley

          Keep them votes coming..! smiley It seems that phpThumb isn’t such a clear winner than what I thought...

              Looking forward to see what you put together Doze. I am always impressed.
              I put together a kludge to get MaxiGallery (I am using 0.5.2) to display images using HighSlide JS. I loaded the JS and CSS through a separate snippet for now (using RegClientScript and RegClientCSS respectively), but I will probably just add a few lines to the MaxiGallery code base to make &embedtype=`highslide` an option.

              For now, this is my MaxiGallery call:
              [!MaxiGallery? &max_thumb_size=`100` &quality_pic=`98` &galleryOuterTpl=`outerTpl` &galleryPictureTpl=`HighSlideTPL` &manager_webusers=`[[me]]`!] 


              and I added this to my template (in chunks):
              <div id="highslide-container"></div> 	

              right under the body tag, and...
              <div id="controlbar" class="highslide-overlay controlbar">
              	<a href="#" class="previous" onclick="return hs.previous(this)" title="Previous (left arrow key)"></a>
              	<a href="#" class="next" onclick="return hs.next(this)" title="Next (right arrow key)"></a>
                  <a href="#" class="highslide-move" onclick="return false" title="Click and drag to move"></a>
                  <a href="#" class="close" onclick="return hs.close(this)" title="Close"></a>
              </div>

              just after the MaxiGallery snippet call.

              and here is the content of my {{HighSlideTPL}} chunk:
              <div class="hsgallery_image">
              	<a href="[(base_url)][+maxigallery.path_to_gal+][+maxigallery.picture.filename+]" class="highslide" onclick="return hs.expand(this, { captionId: '[+maxigallery.picture.filename+]' } )">
              		<img src="[(base_url)][+maxigallery.path_to_gal+]tn_[+maxigallery.picture.filename+]" class="thumbnail" title="[+maxigallery.picture.title:htmlent+] [+maxigallery.strings.click_to_zoom+]" alt="[+maxigallery.picture.title:htmlent+] [+maxigallery.strings.click_to_zoom+]" />
              	</a>
              </div>
              <div class='highslide-caption' id='[+maxigallery.picture.filename+]'>
              <strong>[+maxigallery.picture.title:htmlent+]</strong>
              <br />
              [+maxigallery.picture.descr:htmlent+]
              </div>


              http://scottydelicious.com/photos/ for an example.
              As I mentioned earlier, I will post my code contributions when I get them squared away. That is, unless Doze says "Scotty... Don’t bother. I have already done that!" tongue

              later

                LOL! laugh

                Good stuff Scotty! I’d be glad to have highslide as another embedtype.. so, when ever you have time, post it up!

                Then, next one to "integrate" is this: http://www.electricprism.com/aeron/slideshow/ wink

                  I’ve voted for "custom field" as this is the closest to tagging I could find.

                  I’d be interested in adding tagging support to maxigallery, but
                  a) i’m not a php whizz, more a php hacker!
                  b) is anyone else doing this, no point in duplicating work.

                  I may do it attempt it anyway for my own site, and then you could decide whether to integrate it into maxigallery if you felt the code was good enough smiley

                  The way I imagine it working:
                  new database table with fields:
                  pic_id
                  tag
                  each new tag for a picture gets a new entry in the table
                  eg
                  432 sun
                  432 sea
                  etc

                  Then on the "manage picture" screen you would have a button by each thumb to popup a window with two boxes in it, one active tags on that picture, and one all available tags with arrows to move tags across, and a chance to create new tags.

                  You would then need a function to search on tags and show pics etc.

                  How does that sound?

                    I would like module to handle galleries in backend.

                      I’d like to see a way to sort images using keywords, like flickr has, along with an option to dump all keywords in another page, outside the gallery, like this: http://modxcms.com/repository-tag-cloud.html

                      But I also like Samuele’s idea: a way to handle/manage the gallery in the main modx /manager
