[TYPO3-ect] Just another gallery extension :-)

[Franz Koch]

Hi,

as much as I know, Volker Graubaum allready developed a full-featured DAM-gallery with FE-lightbox, FE-upload and all that stuff. I wrote him a mail 2 times, but didn't get any answer from him. This extension is allready in productive use for a stock-photo site - but I've forgotten the name of the site. He mentioned it in an podcast interview of a german magazin.

I myself also need a highly flexible DAM-based gallery. What I've got so far is a flexible extension using DAM-categories, fe-user relations, adding a BE-DAM selection filter for images by fe_users, common views (single, search, list), a rather flexible sorting-mechanism via flexform and fe-upload with DAM-indexing. FE-uploads are also categorizeable. It's working - but needs further development. I also plan to support stored DAM-selections as "gallerys" (if that works).
It can be used as gallery or as simple DAM-frontend, as the output of every filetype is configurable through TS (it's at least planned and could allready word - I'm not shure exactly).

It's currently used in combination with an extended tt_rating extension (for MM related ratings for any databasetable, optional user restrictions, rating-log, TS-rendering) on a live website [1] and I'm going to extend it with most of the features in your wishlist, as I need a highly flexible gallery extension for a hobby project for a digital-art-community. But currently I don't have time to develop it any further.

If you (or anybode else) are interested in my current aproach I can upload and share it to combine man-poweres and finally get a flexible DAM frontend that can be used for gallerys, downloads or anything else. But I have to say that I'm no professional coder - just to be warned ;)
