Hi voltan

my findings from last test:
1) slideshow configuration: splitting selection of slideshow and configuration of selected slideshow is fine, but after selection only the one slideshow configuration should be visible
2) same for album config
3) each gallery should have an unique id, otherwise it is not possible to use it more then one time (e.g. if I want a block with slideshow random photos and one with slideshow last photos)
4) as I know, css and js-files should be added with $xoTheme->addScript/$xoTheme->addStylesheet in php-files. With this method they will be included only one time, even if it was used two or more times. If the adding is in the html-template, it will be added as often a template is used and this may make problems.

Hi all

First ideas from my side concerning admin area:
1) Tab Permission: Dropdown "Select permission" on top and result after a selection appears at the bottom, they should be keeped together
2) There is now a seperate tab for album configuration (that's good idea). Some settings must still be made under preferences (e.g.Number of Columns in each album), they should be tranfered to album configuration
3) In my opinion we should split admin/slideshow.php for easier handling (e.g. galleryview.php, galleria.php), especially if we include more slideshows. In menu.php we can make a switch and show only the register for the actual selected slideshow.

Hi voltan1

Nice to hear, someone had the same idea. I'm working also on a "extGallery 1.0.9"

Short info about my version:
A) main slideshow:
- - - - - - - - -
for the main slideshow you can decide between:
- Colorbox (version 1.3.15), with lightbox-effect:
optional settings for: speed, duration, transition, autostart, style (10 different styles are included)

- Galleriffic (version 2.0):
optional settings for: speed, duration, transition, autostart, number of thumbs, show picture name and description, style (3 different styles are included)

- Galleria (version 1.2):
optional settings for: speed, duration, transition, autostart, show picture name and description, style (2 different styles are included)

- Spacegallery

- EasySlider (version 1.7.5):
optional settings for: speed, duration, transition, autostart, show picture name and description, style (2 different styles are included)

at the moment, I include prettyPhoto


B) block slideshows:
based on galleriffic-2.0

all works on jquery-1.4.4.js

2) additional new right 'create category'
-----------------------------------------
now you can define for each group, whether they can create categories themself
persons with this right get a new item in main menu
deleting a category can only groups with admin-rights in extgallery-modul



I think, we should share experience. If you want, send me an email-address and I can send you my version
