Flickr Tags

i put the files, if someone can help me to update it for the blackjack release 2.1 i will be very happy

in my files there are 2 problems :

- The mysql Tables
- the GalleryTag.inc

it's sad to wait the last release, because if we must wait at each new release the modules who are not update to be intregate after. We can't manage to give for the people the possibility to use all plugin for all version.**

Just to put in a brief two cents, part of the problem with current Gallery versions is that they don't support "Virtual Galleries" without hacking the core files. That's not very recommendable. But "Virtual Galleries" are what makes tagging so effective...like going to /gallery2/tags/soccer/. That's part of the issue here and is why the Gallery 2.2 release will be excellent not only for Tags but other future modules to utilize these new features.

This in turn makes me debate whether or not to continue making a <2.2 version or wait for a couple months for the official version. I'm tending to think the latter...I mean: what's a couple more months, with official support of it, non-hacked files, and it's guaranteed to be good

Eeek, that means it will be couple of months of wait before arbirary items will be possible. Then probably another couple of months before a matured tagging system make use of that new system.

Thanks for giving new insight to the project mindless. The idea of an arbirary should be able to make how people display their album completely customizable. I don't mind to wait a couple of months, but knowing how good it can become probably make the wait harder.

This is very exciting and a big reason I chose Gallery for my photos. I can't wait to upgrade to 2.2. I may install a test system, so that I can start playing with the early code.

not yet, but soon.. next week i'll start on the core changes needed. testing will be one help, developing code that uses this new feature will be another.

This is a feature I'm really interested in. Is there anywhere I can watch to see how progress on this is going?

I stopped my development when i realized it was being developed by official gallery leaders

OK, core support for dynamic albums has been added. I've added a "Keyword Albums" module to demonstrate how a dynamic album view is created.

If you're interested in this feature please get current svn or a nightly snapshot from 2-Aug or later and try out this code. Install the Keyword Albums module, configure it in Site Admin, and turn on the rewrite rule in URL Rewrite site admin. As I'm writing this, I haven't yet added any links into the keyword albums.. so after doing these steps, manually enter a URL in your browser like gallery2/key/{keyword_here}

If you can help with development of "tags" support, please do. I don't think I'll have time to put much more effort into this.. but now that core support is there, someone should be able to make a clone of the keyalbum module and run with it to build full tag support. Probably a module that has its own DB table to store tags for each item, a UI for setting tags, a permission to decide who can set tags for an item or create new tags, a block or view with links to view the tag album for the available tags.. lots of ideas...

FYI, some API changes were needed to support dynamic albums. I wrote up what this means for themes in G2.1 vs G2.2, here.

the module splits keywords on whitespace. search for '/\s+/' in the module and change it to '/[;\s]+/' to split on semicolons as well.

mindless,

do the keyalbums have a specific "identification"? I'm currently playing with my PGtheme Patch to inlcude a Lightbox.
Everything works perfect now - except the keyalbums.

Any idea where I make the logical fault??

Thanks for your help...

its already browsing the keyword album - I made the changes neccessery to make PGtheme do this - I added a step to open a presize of th ealbum item in a lightbox before browsing to the photopage ... but that gives me an idea ...

"development of this module just died"... I guess you're talking about some code attached much earlier in this thread? The code developed recently is in current svn / nightly snapshots. Now that dynamic albums are possible, it would be a great time for someone to pickup development of a "tag" module where that code left off.

I don't really have the programming chops to do this, although I may try to noodle around with it later; but in my implementation of dynamic albums I changed the word "keyword" to "tag" wherever I could find it. That is, I changed it in terms of what is displayed to the user, not in terms of the background code.

I did so because I think "tag" is a term on the rise. And that "keyword" has other implications that might confuse my users.

You can see this effect in beta... well, maybe alpha stage at:

http://www.tcf.ua.edu/tvcritgallery/main.php/key/+focal+length

which shows a dynamic album built on the "focal length" tag.

If I were to mount an effort to build a tagging module, the two essential features for me would be:

1. Ability for users to add tags to items.
2. A tag cloud or other, dynamic display of the tags. The current select list is a bit too subtle.

Kevin, thanks - I'm gonna check it on my PGtheme-Clone...

Gallery version = 2.2-svn core 1.1.15
PHP version = 5.1.4 apache2handler
Webserver = Apache/2.2.3 (Win32) DAV/2 PHP/5.1.4 mod_ssl/2.2.2 OpenSSL/0.9.8b
Database = mysql 5.0.22-log,

Gallery-URL=http://lf-photodesign.de

I, too, noticed the anomaly of "sun" equaling "sunset". Wish I knew enough about g2 to suggest a solution.

And here's another anomaly:

The "keyword album" drop-down list is sorted in a manner than is not intuitive to users. That is, it's somewhat alphabetical, but lowercase and uppercase are sorted separately. And, in my list of keywords (tags), there are separate groups of alphabetized words. Take a look at

http://www.tcf.ua.edu/tvcritgallery/main.php/key/+focal+length

to see what I mean. ("keyword albums" has been renamed to "view tags".)

And finally, since my keywords are often multiple word terms (e.g., "focal length"), I changed the split to be ONLY on semicolons, as can be seen in this line from module.inc:

foreach (preg_split('/;+/', $item->getKeywords()) as $keyword) {

On a practical note, should a new forum topic be created to foster development discussion for this module? I wouldn't want it to get lost under the topic title of "Flickr Tags".

Thanks.

mindsless: good point, I stand corrected. Lets start a tag module.

Also, I agree about a seperate forum topic. If someone creates one then please post the link here so people who search this can go there. I will start work on the new module unless someone beats me too it(which is okay by me) ;)
