AJAX Image Gallery Example - Alpha Release

 Subscribe

Saturday, October 01, 2005

We're pleased to provide an alpha release of two examples of AJAX image galleries by Max Kiesler and Emily Chang of Ideacodes. One uses PHP and MySQL and the other requires no database and simply pulls images directly out of a designated directory on your web server.

Both of these are extreme alpha developer releases. These two examples are really mash-ups of existing code to show what is possible. There are many things to fix and finish on both scripts. Many of the xmlHTTPRequests have not been implemented yet but we hope to have time to do it in the next few weeks. We're releasing this now so others can hopefully aid in the development. Below is a shortlist of possible additions to development.

The first gallery, aPop, is based on Andrew Sutherland's AJAX periodic table. This gallery uses Andrew's original code which includes a simple database editor and admin interface. The admin lets you add images titles and descriptions. It uses PHP and MySQL to store and retrieve the images with some help from AJAX. The page pagination does not use AJAX at this point but will in the next release.

The second gallery, footoo, is based on a combination of filenice and Andrew's script. This gallery has a bit more functionality than aPop and pulls images directly out of a directory on your web server. Again, some of the AJAX calls are missing in this version but will be implemented by beta. The biggest missing element in this gallery is the page pagination. I'm currently working on this. The original filenice search is still working however the page preferences are currently disabled. Titles and descriptions will also be added by beta through an xml file with an online editor.

Development wish list:
Tagging
Additional integration with APIs (publishing to flickr, blogs)
Geotracking of photos
Mapping
Pagination
Comments
Uploader
Bulk editing
Categories for galleries

If you're a developer and would like to help on this project, please contact us. We would appreciate and publicize all development help!

At this time, we're not going to offer a downloadable version of either gallery until beta, but if you would like a copy of the code for footoo or aPop feel free to email us and we'll send you the source code.

Please let us know if you have any feedback about the galleries. Enjoy : )
