Hello all... after some basic testing from the community, i will submit this package to the REPO team :) I have been asked about this lots since codegarden and actually before codegarden. I FINALLY made time to make this happen. Mad Props to Per for the package creator and also Mad Props to Doug for imageGen, without those two pieces, this package could never happen. any way, here is the brief intro: This package is meant for version 3 of umbraco, but i can't see why it would not work with version 4 -- however, this is not a nitro :) YOU NEED TO INSTALL IMAGEGEN FOR THIS TO WORK... after that, just install the package... The package creates a content node of galleryDemo with one gallery... You will have to create a media folder with pics in it and pick that directory on the gallery node. anyway, you can create galleries under the galleryCat home node... and select the folder with the pictures and the picture for the main gallery image. here is the path to the package: http://dev.baty-barr.com/media/40/mttgallery_1.0.zipLet me know if anything goofy happens. I tested the install on a naked 3.0.5 install and all appears to be good... Thanks!

Hi Bob,
Just gave your gallery package a whirl and it installed ok on a not-so-naked version 3.0.5 test site. Looks pretty good and does the job nicely.
The ImageGen code to constrain proportions seems to work well for the gallery page and its neat & tidy for a sample folder that I pointed it at.
Ps if you have a large image e.g > screen resolution, then the lightbox grows outside the page and scrollbars appear. I don't know if its possible to constrain proportions in the lightbox - I haven't used the jquery lightbox yet - that might be an optional tweak if you know how...
Cheers for sharing. I'll let you know before I ever use the package. I was just giving it a test drive for now.

Hi Bob, Do you have a link to a DEMO version running of the package in action so its easier to know what i can expect when i install it. Thanks, Warren ;)

Hi Bob, Gallery works great! I've added it to my test site here http://nztua.trading.co.nz/gallery.aspxThe only modification I made was to show image and gallery names by altering the XSLT. Thanks, Matthew

Yeah, sorry team :) http://dev.baty-barr.com/this page has a simple demo of the gallery... the link contains a single gallery that links to 4 images... in regards to an earlier post regarding the lightbox size... you can use the same mentality using imageGen... I will update the package later this week to include imageGen sizing for the full size image as well. Thanks for all the feedback thus far!

Seams really nice!!!
Great work.
Is there a way to include Next and Previous or something similar when you get the large picture, so you don't have to close the window and click on the next image you want to show.
Best regards

the way the gallery is currently configured it renders each gallery out as a connected unit... if you mouse over the right hand side of the first big image, you will see a NEXT graphic... just click the right hand side of the image and it goes to the next... hope that helps

Hi Max, Have a look at the docs for Lightbox. It explains in detail how to create a 'set' of pics, with previous/next support Hope that helps. Regards, /Dirk

Hi What a great gallery package. I have one problem though... The gallery doesnt seem to use the thumbnails created by imagegen. This puts unnecessary load on the server! Is the gallery set to do this on purpose or am i doing something wrong?!?! Check out the gallery here: http://www.hingebjerg.dk/billeder/rune-paa-besoeg.aspx The source images are hi-res - like 3500 pixels wide, so you'll experience quite some load time due to the image resizing, which is what im looking to avoid. Any help will be apreciated. Thanks

@Claushingebjerg i am confused a bit by your post. The script does create thumbnails via imageGen from the gallery images. It appears you have added a custom thumbnail that is cropped, etc.? is this correct? Please let me know how you modified, so i may be of better assistance.

No, i just place the thumb inside <div class="galPic"> which is then set to overflow:hidden and a height and width of 50 pixels via css.
But ive turned that off now, so you dont get confused ;)
My problem is it doesnt use the cached thumbnails on reload.
It recreates them every time, which is a bit heavy on the server.

First, that is brilliant -- never thought to do something like that for the thumbnails :P great work! The thumbnails should cache that is odd... and you are running the latest version of imageGen? lastly, perhaps check to see if the macro is set to NOT cache? Doug may have to jump in on this after his holiday. I will ask him the next time i see him if i have overlooked something with my package that is not utilizing the cached thumbs... Sorry for any stress the package is causing you. Great Site! bob

I'm using the imagegen from the Umbraco Repository, 2.01. on an 3.05 Umbraco.
So that should be up to speed.
The macro properties is set to
"Cache period" is set to 0 seconds
"Cache by page" is checked.
These setting are from the default installation. i havent messed with them.
I tried changing the cache period just now, but it has no effect.
No problem on the stress part :)

No, i cant see the thumbnails in the media section of umbraco, but i can see them in the file system on the server.
There are two files in every "numbered" media folder, "filename.jpg" and "filename_thumb.jpg"
Inside the folder is another folder called "cached". Inside that is a number of images with strange names, like 8u8gt2zc.jpeg and an index.xml. these images are all different versions/sizes of the original image.

Funny, I missed this when it was first posted. I basically created my own mini gallery script and when I was doing a search today about some media related XSLT I was having trouble with, I found this. I had already implemented the same JavaScript (Lightbox) so my gallery looks a lot like yours Bob! By the way, I wound up downloading your packsage just to look at the XSLT and the answer to my question was right there, so this was a big help.

Hi, Does it help when adding an <xsl:if> statement around the statements that contains the GetMedia() call? Probably due to the fact that the xslt is checked against a node (when it's saving) that doesn't have the mainGalleryPIC property! Regards, /Dirk
