Forums / Cotonti / Extensions / [Beta Release] MediaLibrary2 Gallery

# pieter : Elgan, one question.

I use it as a gallery.
At the moment when you click on a picture you get a new page opened.
If you click here on the photo it opens via ajax.
You can click next and previous, but only the pictures on the page, not the whole gallery.
Can this be changed?

Or can you change the number of other pictures displayed below?
I can change this, be all pictures are in one line and will not fit in the window.

you can change the number of pictures. You do this in admin section. Go to the config section of admin.

administration-Config-Filmstrip. The film strip is the bit you tlak about. you can change the number for "items in gallery film strip" Thiswill make it fit your skin. See i though of everything

It is possible but not easily. The reason being it uses a plugin like the one on cotonti to show the images, it links to all that it finds. (the ones in the gallery view bit under the main image, which i call filmstrip).

To make it show all images in "image view mode" it would need some ajax fetching. Just like the slide-shown that can be placed on the front of a "folder" /category. So it would just need the tag code ripping to the secton of the film strip and some navigation added. If i get time ill show u how. I dont think its alot of work but a bit of work, the code is pretty much all their already/

Elgan,
Is there a mass-import feature?
Otherwise it is hard to transfer from one gallery to another.

Yes i did create an import plugin for medialibrary1 to medialibrary2. It imported categories and media and comments but not yet "ratings" and tests initially showed it worked quite well. I ddint release it as i hadnt had time or suffiiant test data or test material to get ratings working correctly.

I also had a mass import script made for the plugin, ready for its release. it pretty much just went though all of a single folder and subfolders, adding images to the gallery for a specified user. again i didnt release it as i didnt think it was functional enough. I wanted it to be able to be a bit more configurable as it was simply "what folder? who ownes the images?" and then the images would all add to the needed folders and database.

I can release them 2 if u want, if i can find them. maybe someone can work on them while im gone, make them more specific for certain other galleries/ maybe i can try and make them into a small class or API? would that be better or more helpful?

Added 4 hours 21 minutes later:

well i updated the www.mods-r-us.net/medialibrary.rar with a folder named importers. it contains the medilibrary1 importer and a second script to import from folders of media. both have had hardly any testing but initially worked.

i also made a second rar on www.mods-r-us.net/importers.rar with just these scripts in.

both should be tested before using them, and both probably a little incomplete, could be more functional.
