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

[Jan-Philipp Halle]

After checking the feedback so far, I try to sum some
things up:

I tested translation handling in DAM (see Christians post).
It works fine for the indexed images. Currently there
seems no way to translate the categories, but a category
tree for each language could be acceptable. It makes only
the indexing a little bit more tricky, because you have
to assign an image to each translation of the category.
Ah, wait - i discovered another thing: If you translate
the meta information the category is not correctly written
to the translation! This seems to be a serious bug, because
you can't change the category in the translation.
Can anyone confirm this?

I also tested ce_gallery (Benjamin's proposal). The output
is quite nice, but there are several things, that I don't
like (maybe the following statements help to improve the
extension - I will send this to Christian Ehret):

- No proper translation handling for picture titles. Because
   of the described translation bug(?) in DAM, I only could
   check the db queries in the plug-in source.
- The extension doesn't use piVars which can lead to collisions
   with other extensions in RealUrl.
- The biggest to-do in my opinion is to extract the HTML-code
   out of the PHP. The whole output is hard coded. Only the
   CSS can be modified by TS.

Not critical:
- There seems to be the $TBE_MODULES_EXT-entry missing in
   the ext_tables.php of the newest version. The extension
   cannot be added via wizard anymore as described in the
   manual.


After all I add two more wishes to mine (and Martins) list:

- Different install/configuration modes varying from simple
   to full featured
- Upload of images by FTP or web form
- Easy/automatic (re-)indexing of images/image folders
- Simple adding of titles and descriptions to galleries
   and pictures
* Nested categories/albums
- Backend maintenance with tree view and light box
* Basic image operations like rotation
- Compact db-structure which can easily be extended
- Generous providing of hooks
- Flexible configuration of the frontend output
   via template file and TS (maybe an extendable array
   of views)
- Full support of RealUrl
- Possible extensions: commenting system, shopping cart,
   zipped download, ...
- Complies with TYPO3 standards:
     - Full multi-language support for labels, gallery and
       picture titles and descriptions
     - Works with DBAL
     - Supports versioning (incl. preview)
