Photo Album
I started this project to make a new product compatible with my old CMFPhotoAlbum, as I had a site based on CMF1.1 and Zope 2.3.1. Unfortunately, it turns out that the Images themselves didn't copy or import well into zope, and the photo albums didn't take the new metadata, etc. So that was kind of a bust. I suppose I could have written some migration scripts, but for me it was easier to:
1. manually recreate each album, giving the chance to update the metadata, etc.
2. pull old images out of the old site to my local machine using webdav, then putting them into the new photoalbums using webdav as well.
This product is really a simple adaptation of LargePloneFolder, which gives you a combination folder/content type (e.g. you can search for Photo Albums). If you want to make a simple container type using LargePloneFolder this is a good example because it's so simple.
You can put Files, Images, Photos, and Links inside these albums:
- Files. If the content type is video, it'll try to put an embedded viewer in view.
- Links. Only because then Plone will then put them in the related portlet.
There are three views:
- List - simple list of objects along with file sizes.
- Browse - you get 9 thumbnails at a time
- View - you get one image at a time, limited to 400 pix or less
