User Galleries

As you may have noticed, I added another tab to the menu above. User Galleries are created from the posts you make on the forums. They take any attachments and groups them by the user that posted them. The idea is to give artists their very own page. This is still a work in progress so I'm looking for any suggestions or comments. Please take a look.

That's a very good idea, cmb! :)
Now it's much easier to find all pics by the artist.

You need to put the "bread crumbs" on the page :)

Hey, great idea. Love it.

Could 'any attachment' be a Word doc, so that story writers could have a page?

Thanks.

That would be correct Nemo, there are plans for a story tab as well.

So if I want to create a gallery page to help out the site I have to re-post them all in the forums first? Hmm....I can it's just they've been posted elsewhere before, hopefully no one is sick of seeing them. LOL

Shrunk-

I'd love to see them, I've been away from the community for awhile. I'm sure no one is going to care if you make a couple of posts to the forums with photos they've seen already.

Hi, is there any specific rule that forbids people from posting pics that aren't theirs. Because otherwise this user galleries feature will create user galleries with lots of pics that don't belong to the "user". Leading people to wrongfully believe they are the authors...

Just curious...

Good point Thanatos!

I was toying with the idea of adding a checkbox to the forum topic submission page something like "This is my own work" or "add to my gallery". This would also really help when with stories too.

As a side note, the watermark also tries to secure artist authenticity. It prevents folks from downloading from here and uploading elsewhere without some trail to the original. This way, only the original artist will have the non-watermarked version.

By the way cmb, I just noticed that any images posted in the Site Suggestions and Feedback forum gets included in the user gallery as well. Since most images posted in this forum will most likely be screenshots of sorts, you may want to change that (or provide for the user a way to exclude images from this auto-generated gallery).

Glad I could help. By the way, what do you think of an A-Z hyperlink system to let visitors quickly sort user gallery by username?

Pete

P.S. Feel free to ignore my requests if they get out of hand ... lol

I was actually going to implement an alphanumeric pager once we get more folks submitting their work.
