@cleverdevil
@withknown idea: "Gallery" post type, with https://github.com/blueimp/Bootstrap-Image-Gallery for rendering and browsing photos. Thoughts? /cc @benwerd

@cleverdevil This is probably our single most requested feature. Hadn't seen this gallery before - will take a look! @withknown

@jhsheridan
@benwerd I hope so too because I'm rooting for @withknown so hard!

@jordan_web
@benwerd @cleverdevil @withknown Looks interesting, but does it allow for categorising the images?

@benwerd @withknown will likely require some core changes, not just a plugin, though I suppose I could just implement with attachments?

@benwerd
@cleverdevil I think it'll require core changes not least to support multiple uploads with upload status. Taking to mailing list! @withknown

^^ I had multiple people ask me about this yesterday
#
benwerd
Both online and IRL

benwerd: mapkyca left you a message on 8/22 at 3:57pm: kicked some anti-scriptkiddie stuff your way + access tokens look like they need a tweak (see #1022)
#
benwerd
Ha, mapkyca: I'm in a wooden house in Cape Cod for the next week, so my Internet access is not completely cohesive. Back to normal from Saturday.
#
mapkyca
benwerd: no worries
#
mapkyca
looks like you're having a nice time :)
#
benwerd
Aye, I'm working as normal, but it's nice to jump in a boat or go for a swim before and after
#
benwerd
Could get used to this ;)
#
mapkyca
any reason that can't just be life?
#
benwerd
Mostly because this house is only inhabitable for four months a year (gets cold and isn't winterized) and comfortable waterfront property is like $2m
#
benwerd
But maybe one day ;)
#
benwerd
Berkeley is not the worst place in the world to be. I walk out to the rose garden on most evenings to watch the sun set over the bay. Exercise + meditation.
#
mapkyca
s/meditation/chilling out like a normal person ;)
#
mapkyca
could you not spend a summer winterising the place?
#
mapkyca
sounds like a nice project to get you away from the screen
#
cleverdevil
benwerd: so, what do you think about the gallery feature from an implementation perspective.
#
cleverdevil
I was thinking of cloning the Photo plugin.
#
cleverdevil
and then making it possible to upload multiple "attachments"
#
cleverdevil
but, this seems like maybe the wrong way to do it...
#
cleverdevil
the display side of things is only half the puzzle... management, re-ordering, etc.
#
benwerd
cleverdevil: I'd be inclined to _expand_ the photo plugin to support multiple attachments. I really hate the way thumbnails work right now in it, so it's also a reasonable opportunity to fix that.
#
cleverdevil
that makes a lot of sense.
#
benwerd
I think there's nothing wrong with multiple attachments - but there's a _lot_ of extra work involved. Management and re-ordering, for sure. I also think you need the ability to drag multiple photos in and upload them.
#
cleverdevil
absolutely.
#
benwerd
That last piece may be the most important. Finding a way to upload files more effectively on a parallel track to using the site would be a very good thing - the simple HTTP POST call right now kind of sucks.
#
benwerd
It's much more satisfying to see the progress of your upload
#
benwerd
And it becomes vital if you're uploading (eg) 100mb of photos
#
benwerd
I'd say that upload component is the first thing to fix. And then management and re-ordering. I think the _presentation_ component of the Bootstrap album that you linked to looks totally great - need to test that on mobile a little, but it could integrate well.
#
cleverdevil
that might be a smarter step one: just making it possible to upload more than one photo and do the management.
#
cleverdevil
I can pretty easily help with the presentation side.
#
mapkyca
There's a lot of code to do JS uploads + session uploads in later versions of PHP. Initial post creates stub entity then uploads happen in the background while you edit - kind of like how youtube does it.
#
cleverdevil
I am not super confident on the management/upload side, personally.
#
cleverdevil
still knocking the rust off my PHP :P
#
cleverdevil
I hate being a beggar when it comes to features... I am usually much happier just contributing!
#
benwerd
This one's been a big request for a long time
#
benwerd
We'll make it happen - and it may also require some attachment rewriting
#
mapkyca
take a look at my flickr importer, that replicates sets and collections (albums) with the current photo plugin. Obvs needs a better management system, but I think the basic data structure is sound.

@VeryWhiteGuy
@austinchanning I tried Flipboard, Pinterest, Evernote, google docs & others and have settled on https://withknown.com/ for this purpose
