PROG Gallery

As there are better ways of handling images in drupal now, development/support of module is frozen. If it works for you - good. If not.. I`m afraid things won`t change. Do install this module only on your responsibility.
This module was created before imagecache was popular so it's based on image module. Think twice about pros/cons of that.

Summary

PROG AJAX based galleries module is (partially) based on Hubert`s (cousinhub) mockup seen on web - http://www.raincitystudios.com/blogs-and-pods/hubert/outline-ui-design-a...

Summarizing pros/cons for image/imagefield I decided to go with image nodes.

This module uses a lot of jquery (and contributed jquery plugins) so update it properly. UI simplicity is kept in mind while making it.

Features

• Easy to use interface. Options kept to minimum.
• Image order in gallery is sortable and if server supports, autosortable using image exif data.
• 3 ways to upload images - You can select many files simulatenously via SWFUpload, with DHTML File upload fallback or using classic file upload fallback for non-javascript users. There is #385402: Import Images from folder on server feature, donated by shemgp now.
• AJAX based comments (add,delete,edit,replay) (appear only if javascript enabled, otherwise default comment form apply). (Broken in Drupal6, hotfix available. Follow the #386954: Comments not working issue progress)
• Blocks. Listing last galleries, number of listed can be changed at block settings. All listed blocks have coresponding block, containg related action links.
• All galleries (including user's, excluding empty/no-thumbnail).
• User's galleries (including empty/no-thumbnail)
• Specific user's galleries (excluding empty/no-thumbnail). Block content appears at "/node/[gallery_nid]", "/user/[uid]" and "/galleries/[uid]".
• Gallery content and gallery list output is theme-able (if you want to display images using your own interface)
• Every gallery is node, every image is node

Requirements

• jquery_update module(2.x branch) (needed for Drupal 5 version only)
• image module

Supported addons

• optional swfupload custompack for mass upload (read next section) (last update 2009,feb 11 (with 2.2.0beta5))
• lightbox2 module (optional) (Drupal 6 version only)
• views module (1.x) (optional) (Drupal 5 version only)
• watermark module (optional) (Drupal 5 version only)

IMPORTANT note on SWFUpload

This gallery has feature of selecting multiple files at once provided by SWFUpload.

Because of MIT license SWFUpload project has, I cannot put those files into drupal.org repository. Getting project files straight from creators web page also doesn`t solve the problem because module only needs some files from different directories and I have modified one of them (a handlers.js file), so i have put an archive containing files here. Unpack and put these files in prog_gallery/swfupload directory and it will work right away.

Development

Security, some minor bugfixes and maybe some improvements will be applied to drupal5 version, but no further development is planned.

I am always opened for ideas, but there are three things i`d like to ask: Write full sentences, explain how it should work and mind the "UI simplicity idea".
