What script features you want?

Feature request Thread No. 1
You have seen a cool feature somewhere else or you have a new idea for something that would make the script even better than all the rest? Post it here ...

Hi,
i think, it would be really usefull to have an option to position navigation buttons on different sides of page - top left, top right, top center, and so on.
Relative positioning of buttons will be usefull too (full screen and thumbs each separate).

These things will change your script from perfect to perfect AND even more universal
Very good and nicely done gallery.

hey konstanstin,
als dein größter fan hätte ich auch nochmal einen kleinen verbesserungsvorschlag. betrifft natürlich wieder mal mein kleines "firmenproblem", wo ajax nicht unterstützt wird und java nicht aktiviert ist.

man kann ja dann die einzelfotos über den entsprechenden link aufrufen. diese erste seite mit der übersicht der fotos hat einen weissen hintergrund. wenn man dann durch die fotos navigiert, ist der hintergrund schwarz.
könnte man diesen ersten hintergrund auch auf schwarz ändern!? das wäre supi!

viele grüsse vom waggi

Es wird die Hintergrundfarbe genommen, wie bei $fr_color definiert ist. Das schwarz ist übrigens auch nicht schwarz, sondern die Farbe von $fade_color . Damit soll erreicht werden, dass die HTML-Gallery möglichst nah an der JavaScript-Gallery ist.

aha, alles klar! ist natürlich jetzt unglücklich bei mir, da ich die gallery ohne hintergrundfarbe nutze, aber das erklärt´s natürlich!
aber nicht schlimm, ich kann auch mit dem hellen html-hintergrund sehr gut leben, hi,hi...

While acknowledging that this is a fantastic image gallery as it is, there are a couple of issues that a lot of people might agree on. The main one is that navigation is not quite intuitive and obvious for people that aren't very computer literate.

For me, the setting up of the gallery and implementation on a website is fantastic. You can do pretty much anything you want. And I love the way large images get displayed.

Navigation:

- first of all, remember that we should assume that people using computers and internet, and viewing our web pages, are stupid (well, that's what we have to assume). Programs/scripts should be as simple and as obvious to use as possible.

- Seeing as facebook (sorry to say that) advances to the next image when you click on it, it might be a good idea to incorporate that on your gallery? A lot of people would be getting used to that now and might just start doing it instinctively (well, for those that use facebook anyway?).

- The 'next', 'previous' and 'close' buttons (and slideshow for that matter) need to be moved to more obvious spots and be larger so they are easily viewable. I think either an 'X', or a box that says 'Close', at the top right of the image could be a good place to start. I think people are more likely to see buttons that are towards the top of the screen (or at the middle) and they are also used to the X at the top right.

...on this page I have changed the buttons and moved them into the viewing area a bit more. It's probably not an ideal solution, but it's the best I was able to come up with, with my limited knowledge of the code involved. I think the buttons become more noticeable:
(click on one of the thumbnails to view the large image to see the new navigation buttons)

- The 'next' and 'previous' buttons either need to be actually on the left and right sides of the images (at the vertical centre) or just outside of the image. If the buttons are actually on the image edges, they could be a half circle maybe. This image gallery is a good example for buttons outside of the image:
http://www.flashcomponents.net/component...llery.html

(hopefully you can view the example on this link?)
....the arrows are quite large, but they still don't detract from the images.

I guess you might need to consider the fact that some images might take up the whole viewing area on the screen?

- if you are going to keep the 'quick bar' (or what ever it's called? ...the ones that come in from the side of the screen), either remove them or have a grey rectangular tab or something come in at each side of the screen so people can actually see that there is something there. It might also be nice to be able to turn this feature off.

After saying that, I'm not sure really if I would include it on my pages as I want to make it as simple as possible for people to use.

From what I can tell, the main issue is really with the navigation, so it's not like the script needs a complete re-write. Just some modifications.

Will look forward to seeing what you come up with in future?

Hmm i not used your script yet but looks like one of the best one i have looked for out of looking at about 50 other ones. If this open source would it be possible for me or you to add thinks like a vote tag and a comment section to this script.Plus socail tags so users can send as a tweet of the pic and other socail clubs. Let me know what you think

Hi foxmatch,
actually the script is open-source. You can download the archive and view the whole source code. You can change and add any functionality you want.
I have thought about adding a kind of comment section, so people would be able to wirte comments on pictures they like/dislike. But I didn't come up with the right idea where to place this section. The only thing that comes to my mind is to flip the picture ( still need a good animation for this ) and place on the backside of each the user comments.
The other stuff like vote tags and tweets could be somewhere near the picture comments but since I never thought of this to be really neccessary I didn't implement this yet. If you want you can work on this.

"addThis" support for sharing photos to sites like facebook??

Hallo Konstantin,

Für den Admin ist ja nun ein Upload möglich! Wie wäre es, die Uploadfunktion wahlweise (Settings) auf Nutzer auszudehnen?
- einzelne Nutzer/alle Nutzer
- einzelne Gallerien/alle Gallerien

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Wolfgang
