IP.Gallery 3.1.0 Wrap Up

Posted by Josh, in Gallery, 3.1.0 12 January 2010 · 70 views

IP.Gallery 3.1.0 will be released soon, so we'd like to take a moment to summarize all the new features we've added in this new release.

Friendly URLs

We've integrated gallery into the global FURL system used by IP.Board 3, this will allow gallery to create friendly URLs for categories, albums, and images.

Category/Album Covers

When viewing an image, you will have a new option to set that image as the 'cover' for the category or album that contains the image. When a cover image is specified for a category or album, that image will always be displayed, in place of the last uploaded image thumbnail.

Sub Albums

Albums now support unlimited sub albums, which work exactly like gallery sub categories.

Profile Picture Album

You can now create a new kind of album, a 'Profile Picture' Album. After this album has been created, any images that you upload to it will be displayed on the change picture page in your User CP, making them easy to select as your profile image.

Image notes
Image owners are now able to add notes to sections of their images, positioning and resizing them to suit. Other members will be able to see the notes when hovering over the image. (An example)

Image rotation
Images can now be rotated in 90° increments, to compensate for those photos taken in landscape or portrait, but saved in the wrong orientation.

New slideshow
We have completely rewritten the slideshow feature! It is now a unified interface, loading images on demand as necessary. Users can play or pause the slideshow at will, or jump to specific photos using the thumbnail bar.

Friends-only albums
When creating an album, users can now choose to restrict viewing to only those users who are on their friends list.

Reputation support in comments
We have added support for IP.Board's reputation feature in comments posted within IP.Gallery.

Interface tweaks
We have updated the style of categories so that larger versions of the image are used, to give more impact. The image listing has also been updated, and will now show as many images on a row as the users browser can fit. This should improve the display of IP.Gallery for users who have higher screen resolutions. The image view screen has also been improved, including support for those features mentioned above.

We hope you enjoy these updates and we look forward to hearing your feedback on this release!




New gallery looks awesome. :) My forum members loved it!
Seems like pictures can't be hosted externally yet :(
It really would make the gallery more affordable for a lot of people as images could be hosted on cheap / free servers. (large quality images can take huge amounts of space, as we know...)
look forward to the updates :)
Yeah, FURL :thumbsup:
one question? what about performance? is there any upgrade from ipg 3.0?
Can not wait, keep up the great work :)
Still no decent uploader??? :(
I am not very happy with the SEO aspect of ip.gallery.

Take a look at google images result of the gallery here,No Image is showing proper title.

Now check photopost gallery, All thumbnails have descriptive titles.

Still need easier picture navigation. Still have to scroll down to bottom of page to press "next arrow". Makes navigating very tedious.

But still nice to have cover pictures and the bulk upload.
