Hello,

i bring back this thread to the topic. For a project of mine i need this modul. Unfortunately it was a little bit outdated. So I've done a little work on it to get it working with the latest WB Version. So there are no new features added at the moment.

Changelog:
- added language support
- added german language file
- added and fixed all copyright notices
- supports now WB 2.6.4
- changed install script for better work with mysql5 strict mode
- stored all files unix conform
- changed version to 0.2


ToDoList:
- changing the layout of the modify windows
- make the stylesheet editable in modify window

Attached you find the new version. I hope you like it, and if you have wishes, maybe we could include it.

Have fun

Matthias

Hi,

first of all I would say nice module 

I've found some typos in the DE.php language file.
 - Gallerie -> Galerie
 - ß -> ß

Some wishes:
- a dropdown box for the Path in the settigs section
- I would like to have the "Name" and the "Description" of a gallery shown above the images. Thus I can save me WYSIWYG section with the name of the gallery as title.

Thanx
Ralph

Hello,

seems i mixed to much english and geman 

fixed the german language file in the attached version.

and yes your wishes i think we will includ in the next major release. Dropdownbox is good and setting the description and the name above the pctures are also good ideas.

Hi again,

a little request for the next release.

All thumbs are sized 40x40px. I think they should have the same aspect ratio as the original pictures.

Greetings from Germany

Hello,

ok here we go. I'm proud to present the totally rewritten Swift-Image-Gallery.

Changelog:
- added Dropdown box for to browse the media folder (special thanks to Rob Smith)
- totally new admin layout for modify and settings window
- added new field for individual thumbs resizing
- stylesheet now 100% editable from admin interface in the settings window
- view.php now only works with container, deleted all tables
- Galleriename and -description are now shown above the images

So i think all wishes are included     

How to update from a previous version:
As there are changes at the tables and modifications in a lot of files i recommand to uninstall previous versions and install the new version. Adding the old galleries with the dropdown box is then done in a few seconds.

Attached you find version 0.5 (0.4 wasn't released here) of this modul.

Please test it and post if there are issues.

Have fun

Matthias

Newer version available at the Addons Repository

Thanks ruebenwurzel,

I use the Swift image Gallery, but there is one thing i don't understand, i can't get the pictures to line up the way i wan't. I wan't to see picture 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 in a row but i seem to get 2,6,1,3,5 etc. Is there a way to change this?

Never heard about this. Did you change something on the pictures after enable the swift gallery?

Have you tried to delete the page with swift and make a new page? Did there occur the same?

Matthias

[wopfe]

Ehm, no i just  uploaded about 20 pictures to a directory using website baker...The pictures where numbered 1 to 20(.jpg), instead of that i got the pictures in that order i got this random order....Ii can't find out how it sets this order, it isn't the date or the naming of the pictures...After i deleted the page and made a new one it just did exactly the same...

Hi...

Tested and was able to duplicate the issue.

Change Line 80:
from

Code:

if (count($all_images)>0) {

to

Code:

if (count(natsort($all_images))>0) {

this will sort the files in a natural order, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11.....

Hope this helps
Rob

I just installed this module and I think this is probably the easiest to use for newbie clients. The interface really gives you an idea of what you are doing with the frontend, that's great.

I've been able to tweak it quite alot by adapting the [view.php] and CSS and I'm very happy with the end result: http://buesingen.migration.nazarener.de/wb/pages/this-is-who-we-are/picture-gallery.php

I just have two questions:

1) I understand that not all servers have GD, so it makes sense to have a gallery available that doesn't need it. BUT! Would it require a total re-write to implement GD into this module, because, I do have GD and it makes a big difference when it comes to the Thumbnails and showing reduced sized photos (which is a big deal since many newbies don't know how to resize photos themselves).

2) It seems that the Thumbnail width option does not allow the thumbnail to maintain proportions. Is it possible to implement proportional thumbnails? Or did I mess something up?

Thanks,
~mathetos~

[ruebenwurzel]

Hello,

Swift Image gallery does not create any thumbnails. They are only reduced per html. To add GD to swift i think is not necessary because we have other gallerys wich have this already included.

Try "Another Image Gallery" or "Image Gallery" or "GD Pics" from the Add-ons Repository.

The easiest to use is Another Image Gallery, as you can choose the folder like in Swift Gallery. Wit Image Gallery you can upload the pictures vie admin interface and a tool with a lot of Options is the GD Pics Gallery.

Swift Gallery Version  0.6 ,WebsiteBaker 2.7.x i think and I dunno how u change the error reporting thing

[kweitzel]

error reporting is changed within the "Settings" of your Website baker Installation. Then you need to click on "show advanced options". You can then change the error reporting.

cheers

It says PHP Error Reporting Level: E-NONE now wat should it be changed to

[kweitzel]

"E_ALL&E_STRICT" sounds like the best option, don't you think?

cheers
