Picture Gallery

Friends,

It is a new year, so I am itching to get something new going.

Would you welcome the addition of a Image Gallery option?

vBulleting supports uploading images, but only to a certain extend. I'm looking at a commercial product that integrates with vBulletin, but before buying a licence I need to know if there is a real interest. It would be a shame if such a (albeit limited) investment were to be in vain.

Re: Picture Gallery

I think it's a good idea, though not necessarily vital to the continued existance of the forum. I'm not really into pictures but I'm sure there are many who would find the option useful.

The forum members also can host their pictures at http://img181.exs.cx/ . I use this site and it really works fine.

Re: Picture Gallery

Currently testing a package called vBGallery.

The good part is that I have managed to get the uploading part working, the bad part is that I am encountering some integrating issues.

With a little luck I'll have things running in a couple of weeks.

Re: Picture Gallery

Decided to make it a double test.

1. upgrade of vBulletin to next version (3.6.4)
2. inclusion of vbGallery

The test is progressing nicely.

1. No issues, straight upgrade of test forum
2. Some issues with intergration with vBulletin.

As mentioned earlier it looks like the file upload system is great, once we figure out the best settings it will IMHO be a valuable addition to TOCH!

Hopefully the problems I am facing will be solved soon. I have the feeling that I am missing something obvious and minor. Finding it is something else.



Back to testing...

Re: Picture Gallery

Update!



I've got the whole thing running as it should...

As I had suspected the problem was minor, but unfortunately not so obvious to find. It was actually unrelated to the new package and hence overlooked.

I'll be tweaking and making notes before committing to production - that is our live board.

Not much voting, but a rainy day and some luck makes up for a lot!

Re: Picture Gallery

Open to suggestions on how you would like to have the gallery categorized.

I was thinking in terms of:
  • General
    • Luftwaffe & Axis
      • Fighters
      • Bombers
      • Reconnaissance
      • Transport
      • Other
    • Allied & Soviet
      • Fighters
      • Bombers
      • Reconnaissance
      • Transport
      • Other
    • etc etc etc
  • Campaign
    • Midway
  • Community
    • Duxford 2007
    • Unknown parts
Just an idea, but perhaps you have something better, so please share your thoughts.

Re: Picture Gallery

I have just vote but from my time I spent here I did not seen much screen size archive images displayed. Are you surer that there will be people interest to display material from their collection?

Re: Picture Gallery

The gallery tool will come in handy, even if I only use it as a an alternative to the attachment option, which I will consequently limit (as it dramatically increases the forum size and subsequent back up work).

How people will use it otherwise is up to them.
