It would be nice to be able to write a description below or next to an image that is placed in the photo album. Is it possible to add this feature, as this would make the album much more useful.

Any progress on this? It seems you still can only have the filename as the description (which is ugly looking btw). I guess I'll have to just have my clients make their captions be the filename for now.

Currently one has very limited feature. We will develop our own photo album, AJAX style. This feature has been schedule after forums, and blog component are available.

Are you able to add features or modify the current photo gallery? If possible, after you upload your files, a form field next to each uploaded image listed could have it's own description field and a "Use filename as description" checkbox to the left of the delete checkbox. You could then put your own description in and click a submit button to the left of the delete button and the batch would update the current database description table.

I've included a link to a screen shot of my idea. (attachement function isn't working here)

Do you know when the forum and blog components will be finished? I'm looking forward to this new photo gallery you're talking about.

Is there any interest in this from the rest of the community?..or is it just me?

I guess it's just me that's interested in a better photo gallery.

Nope, you're not the only one!

Newbie at this, and would have thought there would be some sort of tutorial or help link or something with regards to creating the photo gallery and how to set it up. But cannot find one single mention of photo gallery in any help section. I guess everyone just instinctvely knows how to do it correctly, even on a program that was made for those of us without knowledge of website design?

While waiting for the new photo album, I will create tutorial similar to those on http://www.rvsitebuilder.com/index.php/rvs...lder/tutorials/. That is what I can do for now.

My vote for this!

pairote,

Any idea when you're going to start working on the new photo gallery? is there anything we can do as clients to speed the process up?

We definetly need to be able to add text to images, I was really dissapointed when I found out that is not possibile.

Knock Knock... Any word on this feature add?

While the gallery from Pairote is finish, I have asked my customers to add a different gallery to the site, so, as in this website from a customer www.mocamboguate.com you can see that the coppermine gallery has been added to the web site. The best part of using an external gallery is that you can have another users to upload images while in RVSiteBuilder you can only add pictures inside CPanel and that could be a problem as you can't add users to upload pictures.

Any more info on this? This topic is over 1 1/2 years old and still no progress or info on it. There is a tons of great open source photo galleries out there in which the rv developers could integrate into rvsitebuilder.

http://gallery.menalto.com/
http://coppermine-gallery.net/
http://www.phpalbum.net/

Just to name a few.

Please let us know if this is even on the developers radar.

Thanks,
Ben

All of them are great. But their license prevent us integrate it on RVSiteBuilder. We decide to make our own.

Is this still in the plans?

Yep. It is still in the plan.

Cool. Do you know when it will be added?

Hope to see a new Photo capability soon

It's been over 2 years and still nothing on this? Just curious if this will ever be implemented. I don't like telling potential clients that we have a photo album script because once they use it, they don't like it and scrap us.

Any news on this ?
It's too bad that the current gallery does not auto resize the pictures (not thumbnails..). When I upload different size of pictures, the script should put everything the same size

I think pairote said they're about 3 months from getting it done. sooo, as most things in the web dev world go, I would multiply that by 3 and look for it in another 9 months, so long as they stick to their 3 month goal. In the meantime, I'm going to have to continue to offer free coppermine installations and customizations per client (which is gonna be a real pain) but whatever! I'm just glad they're still considering doing this after 2 years.

It is on the development plan, and will take no more than 3 weeks from now to be available.

Its been 4 weeks... so I guess anyday now?

It is on the testing phase and still have a couple of issues.

Hi Pariote,

When exactly can we see this? I have been promising client for month at end that they'll get a more professional photo gallery, but right now we are looking like fools, cause we can't keep our promise anymore. And the current gallery is really unprofessional.

Looking forward to this Pairote!

Still waiting

Any updates on this?

You can add the photo description in v3.67 released today. Check http://rvsitebuilder.com/index.php/rvsitebuilder/changelog/ changelog for more information.
