Hi,
Thanks for this wonderful module.

I am a passionate photographer and plan to create a photography website which gives more emphasis to photographs. I intend to use silver stripe CMS for the same as it is clean, user friendly and reduces many other tedious tasks. I am just starting out and found this gallery module helpful for setting up what I intend to do. One of the most important criteria for my website is to have unique URL for each photograph/image. But from what I have analyzed and worked out in SS/Gallery module, it does not seem to have the option to have unique URL for each image. My understanding is, this is due to Colorbox jquery lightbox. While, searching in web I had come across jLouvre (http://labs.dreamweb.sk/jlouvre#/) which seems to have what I am looking for. Could you kindly guide me if it will be possible to replace Colorbox with jLouvre and if so, steps to do so?

Thanks for your time and help.

Regards
Bharath

@buddybharath: from my understanding, accessing certain images via a URL is also possible with ColorBox, as shown here. However one would need to add a URL handler or route to the module (some infos here), which ckecks if an image exists and opens up the linked page and image in ColorBox.

Have not much time actually to implement such a feature right now, but I may add it with a future release.

Cheers

@Joop: great you like my module.

Would you mind to share your code updates (e.g. exif-data, photoswipe), so there is a chance I can implement some of your code it with the next version for a bigger audience?

Regarding your sort issue. Image sorting is done here.

Thought about to add swipe gestoures with colorbox from this thread now for a while:

Hi,

I included two files, one with the changes and the other is my version of cwsFolderGalleryImageExtension.php.
Regarding the image sorting; I am a traditional programmer (shame) and my oop skills are limited so i can't figure out how to change the sort call.
I hope you van help?

@Joop53: Thanks for posting your updates here in the forum.

I start to understand your issue with the ExifDate now. At the moment you have decorated the Image class with a new method called Exif(). This method can be used on an image object (e.g. inside the template), but you can't really use it for sorting due to the fact how the gallery image sort is implemented. To get this working, one would need to add an extra database column to the Image class and write the ExifDate of it's image to it.

The basics behind are explained here. However, I have not yet tried to add an extra table to the Image class yet.

Hope this helps.

cheers

Hi CWsoft,

Thanx for your support. I am struggling with a strange effect. Choosing different sort-options in 'settings.yml' (1,2,3) has no effect on the output (wich is wrong by default). But when I make the function 'getImageSortOption()' return an empty string or disable sort() the output is ordened by filename ( or how it was saved on disk?). The sort-order option works fine. Could you tell me if this is normal or an error.

@Joop53: Have you run ?flush=all when changing the sort order in the YML file? Guess those settings are cached to speed up things. If it still don't work with cleared cache, it is a bug I need to fix. Will check it this evening.

If no valid option is provided at all, SS3 uses a default sort order for the Fileobjects (guess its filename).

Cheers
