Photo Sharing Similar to Flickr at ArtistServer I've been making some progress with ArtistServer's Photo/Image Gallery tool, so I thought it would be a good time to start talking about the gallery, how it will function, what options are avialable, etc. If you have any questions about the Gallery, post them here on the blog or contact me using the contact link on ArtistServer.com.
Ok, so what is a Gallery?
Our gallery will function somewhat like Flickr.com, so if you have ever used that site, or visited it, you'll have an idea of what our Gallery will offer.
You'll be able to:
- store photos
- share them
- your uploaded photo gets regenerated in multiple sizes making it easier for posting and sharing
- your photos can be connected to other photos on the site by assigning 'tags' to them
- your photos will be viewable as slideshows
- you'll be able to create a Gallery Set, and assign a song to the set so people have a song to listen to while watching the automated slide show
- photos will be available for deeplinking
- photos will be available using RSS
- and more... yes... there's always more :)
As of this afternoon, I can now add/upload a photo, the server is generating the alternate sizes, and I can delete a photo. Next up, is editing, and the process of assigning your photo to Gallery Sets in addition to creating gallery sets.
There's a lot to do still, for example, I don't have any of the code done for dispalying the photos on the site. But, I do expect to finish the Gallery Tool and Gallery on the site by mid March.
Below is a screenshot (or at least the url to a screenshot) of the Gallery Tool in it's current state. You can see I have 1 photo in my gallery, and I have the Add new form on the right side of the page. Not all items in the form are required - so if you want to zip through and upload images without dealing with tags or a description, etc - just skip them. Oh, and for those that are reading that know what Ajax or Jah is... the Gallery is our first tool that will rely heavily on these 'new' concepts in user interface design.
