Photo gallery improvements
I wrote some small improvements to photo gallery (or org.routamc.gallery) that at least I found very useful when handling bigger amounts of photos at once.
I am porting the web pages of my karate club from MidCOM 2.4.6 to MidCOM 2.8 and one of the reasons I had delayed it this far was that it would be rather painstaking to move the photos to the new system, since server change is also going to happen.
I didn't feel comfortable in writing a script that would do the transfer as
- I want to go through the photos anyway
- It's still less time-consuming to pack the files and send in a batch
So, instead I wrote better interface for post handling the photos to photo gallery. First of all things need to be organized. Fight against local entropy. Thus the new sorting tool (or maybe not so very new, I wrote it already in the spring 2007, but never said a word about it).
1 Sorting the photos
Sorting the photos with nowadays familiar Script.aculo.us
quicker sorting by clicking on 'Hide thumbnails'
create new sub galleries on the fly
2 AJAX editing
MidCOM featured AJAX) double-click editing (schema based and styleable, thus completely customizable)
