This is the first alpha release of the light version of my gallery. It still has a fair bit to do before a stable release but I thought I would get it out early.
This gallery is designed to be simple and effective. You have categories (or albums if you like?) and images. Images have descriptions. That is the main concept.
How to get this early version working and what not to do
- Upload and install
- Go to permissions and give yourself the ability to add images
- Go to admin -> applications -> create category and create your first category
- Go to gallery -> upload (in the public area) and upload your first image
- The categories won't show without any images in it, after the above steps you should see it in action
- Don't upload images with spaces in their filenames, the thumbnails won't work. This will obvioulsy be fixed soon
- Remember this is an alpha and if something goes wrong it is expected
- add permissions other then the one for uploading new images
- add cron jobs to get rid of anything that isn't used
- add maintenance functions to make things run a little faster
- add functions to move images so when you delete a category it can move any images into another category if selected
- ability to actually delete an image
- error messages
- phrases instead of hardcoded strings
- allow to change the url of the public area
- renaming and moving files/classes
- ability to disable completely
- next/prev links
- new lightbox integration when XF updates it
- popular/latest pages done, including sidebar
- sidebar areas on pages depending on which ones are selected in admin
- change where the admin settings are and some names
- ability to set the thumbnail size
- have images in the data folder and accessed through the images title and id instead of directly to the file
