Four questions:
(1) Thumbnails and a Flash slideshow are great for quick browsing
(better than many other modules that require a full re-draw of the page
for each picture!). However, I'd like visitors to see an even bigger
version of the picture if they wish. So, for example, the gallery could
be 640 pixels wide, but one click on an individual picture would take
them to the larger file (e.g., 1024px). Can this be done automatically via UPG 2 (i.e., without having to manually specify the link to a bigger picture)?
(2) Currently I have two different gallery modules with pictures in a
number of different folders. With UPG 2, is it a simple matter to copy
all those directories to the /UltraPhotoGallery folder, and then
synchronize? Also, in the online trial, I am not seeing (so far) where
the adminstrator would select the folder, give the title, etc., for the
new album that would correspond to that folder. Can you discuss this a
little?
(3) In several DNN gallery modules, I can specify just one dimension
for the dynamically-created thumbnails and preview pictures (say, 150px
and 640px, respectively). In this way, I can have different-sized, or
non-standard sized, pictures (e.g, for portrait orientations, stitched
together panorama shots, etc.). However, when I tried this on the demo,
it made the vertical dimension -1. What effect does this have on the
display? I couldn't test it fully myself because the album I thought I
created ("Test02") never showed up in the drop-down list for the "Add
photo" part of the module(?).
(4) Is there a list of parameters for the sort order and caption header
fields? I tried looking in the help page but didn't see any details.
Sorry if any of this doesn't make sense.
- Thanks.

1. This feature is not included in current version . you have to specify a link for each photo. but I'd like to add a new feature in the next release to set what to do when click a photo(open the link/open the photo in separate window/print the photo).
2. Yes you are right. you can copy them to the album folder and run synchronize. remember that the synchronized photo DO NOT have title and description. you have to specify them after the synchronization.
3. If you specify only 1 dimension for the thumbnail. the generated thumbnail may be too long or too high, it will bring you unexpected UI experience. so you can specify 2 dimension(Height & Width) for the thumbnail in this module. This is a better way. my module will calculate the ratio of the photo and decide whether to resize the photo by width or by height. so you will see that none of a thumbnail will be large(both in X and Y) than a predefined size.
You can't see your album in Add Photo, Maybe you don't set appropriate permission for your album.
4. The sorting field is formatless. you can input ANYTHINK in it.
The caption header do not have other tokens except the listed tokens.
Thanks. |
