Yet Another Image Gallery Update
Well, here goes another photo gallery update… This time, it should be the late go at it. I’ve implemented Simple PHP Gallery into Soulpass. There are instructions on how to integrate it into WordPress, and I followed them, downloading their hack at it. I made some major improvements to the integration code, and I’ll be posting info on how to get it done soon. With the way that they explained it, and the code that they had, the gallery didn’t seem to be integrating very tightly into WordPress. Now, with the code that I’ve modified, it is entirely integrated. When I change a theme in WordPress, gallery will use the new theme. Pretty soon I plan to enable it to extract EXIF data from images, and display it all pretty-like under the full size photos. You can see my installation by clicking on “Photos” in the menubar. I will still use Exhibit, but not as a “gallery” per se. It is more suited for the blogging interface anyway. If you would like to rush me into posted the code, feel free to contact me.

Hey,
I’ve been working at extending some of the SPG code for my website, too. So far I’ve added some basic video support and Wiki-style (but individually lockable) captions. I’m very interested in making the EXIF data visible too– let me know if you make any progress on this front, or just want to talk about expanding SPG into something more generally usable.

Nice!! You’ve truly done an incredible job embedding video, and the design is great! I assume that one would have to be logged in to edit the captions? I didn’t see where it is possible to edit them; having Wiki-style captions is a friggin’ genious idea!! I haven’t started working on the EXIF extraction, but I’m thinking it won’t be too much of a rollercoaster since PHP has some EXIF functions built-in. If you’re interested, I have gotten SPG to allow double-quotes in the .ini file descriptions (allowing for consistency in URLs, etc)…. It looks like you all have a ton of fun with YAGS!!! Very cool… I’ll drop you a line sometime via the YAGS site..
