A beta release of the Media Gallery for Geeklog is now available for public consumption. It is available for download in the Geeklog Download Section or at www.ecsnet.org You can also see it in action at www.ecsnet.org

Media Gallery is a native plugin for Geeklog that provides a full featured media gallery, including photos and movies. If you have any issues with this plugin, please post your comments, feedback, bug reports, etc. in the Plugin Support Forum.

Features

Media Gallery attempts to take advantage of many of the features made available through Geeklog. The feature list includes:

  • Multiple Media Types Supported (JPG, GIF, PNG, BMP, ASF, WMV)
  • Multiple graphics package support (ImageMagick, NetPBM, GD)
  • Center Block (featured album)
  • Autotags for including links / images in stories
  • Comments per media item
  • Upload queuing
  • Random Image block
  • Online Photo Printing Services
  • Geeklog Security Model
  • Multiple methods to add media
    • Direct Upload through Admin Interface
    • Batch FTP Uploading
    • Windows XP Publish to Web (experimental)
  • Flexible Geeklog template support
  • Unlimited Album->Sub Album support
  • Full integration with Geeklog search and stats
The goal is to provide a full featured method to allow webmasters to display their photo's and other media items.

If Media Gallery does not suit your needs, I recommend you look at the Inmemoriam Media Gallery also available for download in the Geeklog Download Section. Each plugin has it's own set of unique features and functions. Now there are simply more options for an true native plugin.

I hate to be critical of a project that's been of immense help to me in the past,
but why the insistance on irrational table-based markup? I've been moving away
from GL for some time now because of this (despite having done a would-
validate-but-not-without-hacking-the-core template) and this media plugin
doesn't appear to be an exception.

I just can't justify using this (especially Gallery2 is now out of beta). Thanks,
but no thanks.

That is an uninformed opinion, in my opinion.
Tables do have a use, ie, to present tabled data. That is what is happening here. Just because the data is an image rather than an address, for example, doesn't mean that it shouldn't be presented in a table.

besides that, it really makes no difference anymore. The issue, when there was one, was a speed issue. If you still have a speed issue, then your issue isn't with tables.

Nice looking.

Anychace you will be adding support for MPG video?

What about thumbnailing the Videos?

And can i make the video/photo popup in a window instead of playing in the main page.

What about allowing users to save/download the videos.

thanks,

Kelly

Kelly,

The answer is yes to all of the above! v0.95 which is now in beta testing support MPG and SWF as new media types. Thumbnailing videos, audios, albums and even images is possible as well. Playing of video and audio can be done in a popup window, inline on the webpage or downloaded directly to the local system so it can launch the appropriate player. You can configure Media Gallery to do this from the Album view or the media view. As for downloading, you can add that link to the template file very easily to give the user the option to download and save locally too if you wish.

Thanks!
Mark
