Photologue 3.X wishlist

richardbarran edited this page Jan 25, 2013 · 10 revisions

Although current focus is on fixing bugs in Photologue, at some point we will look to the future and start evolving and improving Photologue. Here is a personal wishlist; please feel free to discuss it on the mailing list and make new suggestions!

Plinit

New installs of Photologue need some basic data setting up (for eg. Photosizes). At present the user has to run a management command and answer a series of questions. Is there a better way of doing this? A South migration?

Third-party thumbnailing

Photologue manages thumbnails internally. At the same time, there are many 3rd party packages for creating thumbnails of images - maybe we are re-inventing the wheel, and should rip out all of this code from Photologue and instead rely on another package.

Bulk uploading of photos

If the user wants to upload many photos, they have to zip them up and upload the zip. The interface for this is clunky - we could use a JS image uploader to make the experience far more enjoyable.

Lightbox

A common way of displaying photos from a gallery - is it something to have as an option in Photologue?

New templates

Maybe the templates can be improved - for example, some of the css class names are not brilliant (what's the difference between gallery-photo and photo-gallery?).
