A gallery/slideshow product for plone that can aggregate from picasa and flickr or use plone images.

Project description

Introduction

collective.plonetruegallery is a Plone product that gives you a Gallery content type. It allows you to add regular Plone Galleries, Picasa Web Albums or even Flickr sets. It allows the user to display the gallery in 3 different sizes, choose between two different javascript gallery display types and customize transitions, effects, and timing.

Features

  • Flickr and Picasa Support!

  • Gallery Content Type

  • Customize gallery size, transition(limited transitions right now), timed and other settings

  • Can use nested galleries

  • Slideshow 2(with transition types)

  • Nested galleries

  • Pre-fetches gallery images

Flickr and Picasa Web Album Support

  • these packages are no longer a dependency of this package

  • to add support for these type of galleries you must install additional packages

  • install flickrapi version 1.2 for flickr support

  • install gdata version 1.2.3 or higher for Picasa Web Album Support

  • these can just be added to your buildout or installed with easy_install

Fetching of Images Explained

  • When rendering a gallery, it checks if the images have been fetched within the last 1440 minutes(one day). If they have not, then it fetches them again. It also re-fetches the gallery on edits and when images are added/removed from a gallery. Since images are never really added/removed from a flickr or picasa type, it’ll only be re-fetched every day unless you force it.

  • You can also force a specific gallery to be re-fetched by appending refresh to the gallery url

  • You can manually refresh all galleries on the site by typing in a url like mysite.com/refresh_all_galleries This means you can also setup a cron-like job to refresh all the galleries whenever you want to just so it isn’t done while a user is trying to render a page.

This product’s inspired usage was for the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh.

0.7rc1
