Hey everyone, I've finally finished the long overdue upgrade of the Elgg Showcase
If you had a site on the showcase previously it has been lost to the ether. The screenshots and descriptions just weren't enough for the new system which is designed for you to really show off, so feel free to re-submit with some higher quality images and full-on bragging descriptions.
Features of this new showcase:
Caveats:
It's looking a little empty right now, so head over to the showcase and get your site up there, finally!

Note: as always, let me know if you run into any issues with it. I'm only mostly perfect.

Great effort Matt. Just added a site from our portfolio section.
Suggestions : It will appear nice, if you can add some margin between the screenshot thumbnails. Currently they appear cluttered.
Edit
Find one more glitch : for some entries, the images are not getting saved.
Hi Matt. Added my web like a new showcase.
I uploaded three images and the status is "private". It is moderation?
can you add my site ^_^
@wogker : yes. its moderated.
szsocial.com plz
Thanks for the quick reports - I've fixed an issue with the image checking, so if you upload an image that's too large it will now let you know. Please edit your showcases to try adding the images again and make sure they are within the limits of 1024 x 768.
@UK - please start reading peoples posts before asking questions that are answered in said post
@Webgalli - I've also added in a bit of padding between the thumbnails, it's more noticable when there's more thumbnails as they generate a grid of up to 3x3
This is essentially the 'soft-launch' of the showcase, once we have a few submissions and any additional kinks are worked out I'll announce it officially in a blog post.
Thanks for the updates Matt. But I dont think the size is an issue. Because its around 650px x 900px and less than 500KB only. Will try to update the posts and let you know.
Edit - Its working.
OK great, also if you didn't notice, I upped the max allowable size as 1024x768 may not be quite enough to capture what you need
Just noticed :)
One more suggestion - What about introducing a category dropdown also to mention the niche the site belongs to?
