Hi there, I was searching for a good gallery for my community site, powered with elgg 1.5
Today I had a look at tidypics, but I'm missing some functions, I've seen already.
Is it in the queue to have in the near future a more comfortable upload and a slideshow?
If you want to see a really good solution, please visit http://gallery.menalto.com/ - I was thinking about to port this to elgg, but - there are other issues - no support for other nice stuff, tidy has.
I played around with the version 2 and now with version 3 of galleria and - I was really impressed. It's really cool.
They implemented for slideshow piclens lite. If you have installed the cooliris plugin u will have a "3D slideshow", if you don't know, you should have a look at this. If you want to see a example slideshow, have a look at my gallery 2 experiment http://www.event-4all.org/fotos/main.php?g2_view=slideshow.Slideshow&g2_itemId=30
In version 2 the had the possibilty to upload images via zip, extract it automatic with full folder structure, very comfortable. Versin 3 is in beta now and has not as many modules as version 2, but now the have a very good workling uploader (zip support will follow). With the uploader u can select all images of a album at the same time. It is a flash 10 application, as far as I know.
Because everything is opensource, it should be possible to have a view at the code and to implement the same stuff like gallery. Would be nice to hear from you, what you think.

Torsten,
Our list of work on tidypics can be found here: http://code.google.com/p/tidypics/issues/list
We have a new version that is just about ready for release that will include a lot of great new features. We trying to balance between adding new features with improving the core of the plugin so we can't add things as quickly as people would like. A lightbox/slideshow is definitely on the list.
Do you have php development experience?
Yes, I have. And I have investigated a little bit now and can give you support in bundeling with the flash slideshow. It would be a great enhancement. But - aware - it's not lightbox, it's lytebox and flash. I think it's also the same technology used by flickr.
May be I will also be able to figure out something about the upload tool. But one by one. :-)
That's great. You can checkout the code for tidypics here: http://code.google.com/p/tidypics/source/checkout
Ok, shoudn't I have login data to upload changes? I only can checkout here with read only: http://tidypics.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/
Torsten - I definitely look forward to working with you!
We're trying to finish up a beta release so we don't want to introduce any significant functionality at this point. Could you create an issue on the tracker and attach a patch? Once we review the patch, we can add you as a developer to the project. (This will also give us your gmail address which is required for addition to the project.)
Thanks again.
OK, I'm already working on this.
I'm relative new with elgg and may be I will need a little bit support. :-)
Great. I can definitely provide help to ease the learning curve. You'll want to create an issue on the tracker right now and we can discuss things as they come up through google code/email.
I added issue #63 and #64. I am new with google code. I can't change the type from defect to enhancement, will you do this?
@westor it is done
