I have just installed it, and it works great!
Yes, it's very basic, but it lends itself perfectly for personal modifying.
Simply a great job!

Thnx Draeghonov,
Just looked at your site... looks great. (You need to adjust the css a bit)
The start and stop (for the timers) are hardly visible...

Maybe pagination and a smaller foldericon will be needed for large sites :D

anyway glad you liked it.. (Contact me if you need help)

looks good man..

only the folder structure image sucks a bit, but maybe that's because of the size of the image.. (on draeghonov site)

@ez & @Kingsley:
yes, I need to tweak the css a bit, but I have to wait until I finish the new skin I'm working on.
That's the reason why the gallery doesn't look as good as it should on my site.

But, paginisation would rock for sure; I think that most ppl will agree with me on that, that will only make your plugin even better :)
thanks again for your work!!!

You are welcome...
A simple gallery was missing from cotonti for sure... and now we have one ;)

@Kingsley: The foldericon can be replaced simply... so that's no prob

I am thinking off a commercial release for this plugin...??
Some features could be:

1) pagination for the folders
2) Gallery/folders categorised by user (by group maybe ???)
3) integration into index, pages, forum
4) a few themes to choose from
5) the ad-gallery options in config or on url
6) download option for the pictures (and I mean a real download.. (not open in new window))
7)... (I am always open for sugestions :D )

To many ideas about it... but it could be really great.
But since this all takes a lot off my time, maybe I will do it in parts ??

Anyway, Have fun with it you guys...

LET ME KNOW if you made good improvements, I will update the plugin.. so everybody can benefit B)

!! Lets share !!

@ez:
take your time with your ideas; the plugin is great as it is already!!!
Yes, of course, future updates will be cool BUT: the fact that we have a great working, easy to mod gallery is what we really needed!

You see: my webserver is kinda picky when it comes to certain plugins. When I was on sed, the moviegallery didn't function correctly, because my server had limited freedom when it came to the clients. All was done for security, and no bad words about it, but things do get narrowed down for ya...
But this plugin has caused NO probs whatsoever :)

Anyways, here is the foldericon I currently use, its 20*20, so it looks a bit more in place.
To everyone who's interested, feel free to use it :)

I like it, I really do.. Only thing is; the lack of structure makes it a messy looking part of the site when lots of folders exsist.

think it's wise to implement some kind of structure like Usergallery plugin has, but that's just my 2 cents.

and on a personal note.. a index thingy that shows random images.. I would like that.

Really a nice plugin, like it already in its current state.
I wont be able to use it though on my current (still not released Cotonti site) as we have a few hundred folders in our PFS, so some kind of pagination really would be welcome ;)

# ez : 3) integration into index, pages, forum

How about integration into a userprofile? Showing random images from that users PFS?

Or (might not be secure) how about giving admins the possibility to add folders to a specific user profile.
For example:
I am an admin and have stored 10 images in my PFS in folder X, I want only those images from folder X to show in another users (just a member) profile.


Commercially, no problem :)

Hi guys,

I have released EZGallery as a good (developers) reference point and as a building block
for everyone. Including me as a possible commercial plug for the future... (wich will be soon B) )

I am very glad the plugin is liked... it is always nice to hear that ppl like my work.. :D
Now that I know that this plug is liked/wanted, I will start sooner on developing it further.

Please PM me a wish list with priorities in there.. so I can start on the most wanted
features first :)

On that index rotating thingy.... How would I choose what picture to show????
Just a random picture taken from a random public folder ?
Sequential maybe... So show a random folder and when finished go to the next folder?
(Maybe both and choose a way in the setup of the plug...)

Anyway.. enjoy

Added 18 hours 26 minutes later:

Well... it seems like there is another gallery (a commercial one) available by Kort. Also based on Jquery ad-gallery, so that's an interesting development :)

So be sure to check that one out.. if you are in need of such a gallery

In fact, we made this plugin last year and used jq tools gallery. In March we switched to the Ad-Gallery due to its simplicity & extra feats, and bundled the plugin with quite a few sites. myGallery is a proven and ready-to-use product that requires no extra work. It features both POTW and pagination, as well as folder & image sorting, user-friendly column settings and smart image selection for the POTW.
Right now however, we're not quite happy with the Ad-Gallery, so I'll be looking for different scripts to couple the plug with so that the user would have a choice.
