Major Features

Multiple Instances You can run an unlimited number instances of the gallery on the same forum with same set of files! Each instance can have a different look and feel to it, and with enough work can have a completely different function because of the system we built it on.

AJAX integration We used AJAX wherever we could to help reduce the page reloads

Automatic resizing and thumbnail creation As long as your server can handle it, the users can upload whatever size pictures they want. The gallery will control the size displayed and stored, and will even create a thumbnail, all automatically. Users no longer have to worry about resizing their images to fit what your forum specifies. If you do not have a server with the power to resize images (GD image library can get pretty memory intensive) then you can set the gallery to reject images that do not fit into your size criteria.

User Albums Users can create their own image albums to organize and display sets of their images. Albums can also be set to hidden and/or password protected. So users who want to have images for only certain friends or not visible to anyone else at all can easily organize them.

If that login you sent me is still good, send me the url and I'll take a look.

<i>Hello,</i>

First of all I am one of your member and very happy with you.

Hello,

I wonder if we can have a slidershow for a scrolling photo or image automatically ?

It's a planned feature for the next version

That sounds perfect, just make sure it's easy for uploaders to tag their images as mature then. And any chance of adding keywords and a search option at some point? I'd most certainly buy the plugin if that's the case.

Yes, it'll just be a simple checkbox when uploading the image.
You can already add tags to the images. When you are viewing an image you can click a tag to view all images with the same tag. Searching is already there and it will include the title, description and tags in the search.

Awesome, once you update it to include the mature rating checkbox thing i'll be sure to buy the plugin as it's exactly what i'm looking for. Where would users be able to set if they want to view these mature images or not? It'd be quite annoying if they have to push agree every time they view a new mature image, maybe a checkbox on the user settings page ? And it'd be great if you also had a way of marking an image as mature on the category page, such as a title in red, or a mature: tag infront of the name, or whatnot..

[alhidaya]

Hello,

Thank you Dylan

I wait with joy the slidershow.

Thank you for this work is magnificent.

How can we remove the orange record album ?

In Acp :

Choose Vertical if you wish to use the widget as a skinny side block.

It doesn't work

It s work horizontal

Could you scroll through the images in the widget because they are fixed ?

Gallery ForumHome block :

I want to place it at the bottom of the forum and not the top, how can we do ?

I'm going to put it in the user profile for the gallery. That way you can set the default per gallery. So if you have a PG gallery you view, you can have all open, but you can set a NSFW gallery to not show adult images. There will also be a "this session" type of toggle on the main page that wont affect your saved setting so you don't have to go through resetting your preference all the time.

I'll try and think of a way to mark it as adult. Maybe a little 18+ that's watermarked on a corner of the thumbnail on the fly. I'm thinking about making it an option to not show the text below the thumbnails and put that text in a mouseover hover. That way you get more image bang for you webspace buck

the 18+ thing in the thumb sounds good. I'm sure you can use it as an overlay without using much more webspace. Also would there be an option for admins to create preset categories and the users would need to upload their pictures/art in there, instead of them making all their own little galleries?

[Dylanblitz]

The admin sets the categories now anyway. You can restrict them from being able to keep albums if that's what you mean.
