After implementing the gallery module to Old Larimer Street Tattoo's website, I found some much needed functionality that was missing. A live environment always seems to be the best test as to what real users are going tso actually do. Yes you should have already gotten that info during requirements gathering...but how often does a user "really" know what they want until they get to play?
Changing my strategy in regaurds to having seperate modules for album listing and image listing really played in my favor when I heard this question "How do I put just this one album's pictures on this page?". This then became the first of a couple of changes to the module, here are the new features that have been added.
New Features
- On the image listing module, users can now specify to display images from an album passed through the querystring from an album page, or select a specific album to be used
- Added alternate JS Plugins for both lightbox and highslide. These alternate plugins do not use a gallery mode (supressing back and next on the full size image)
- Added Create Album button to the album list module that is displayed based on the current user, thus preventing the need to enter into edit mode on a page containing the album list
- Added Add Photo button to image list module (works the same as new Create Album button)
Bug Fixes
- Fixed a bug in the album list module that prevented the "Logged In User" setting to not work
- Fixed bug in image list settings that caused max image height to be the same as max image width after saving.
