hidden files and folders/albums [IMPLEMENTED]

#1 Post by mko »

Hello,
I've found Admiror Gallery almost exactly what I was planning to do by myself, but I miss some features.
So as promised in emails, my ideas on additional features goes below and in next separate topics.

Possibility to hide files and folders from frontend display.

This can be done using JFile filters.

I'm thinking of 2 ways to define hidden folders/files
  1. 1. by comma separated folder names in main gallery configuration field ex:
    Hidden folders: _descriptions,thumbs,some_special_images_we_need_here
    Hidden files: watermark.jpg,watermark-thumb.png
  1. 2. folder and file attribute, something like "Priority" (negative values of priority?) in order to hide single images
greets
Miko

I like second option. It should be easer to implement. I didn't have a need for hidden folders and files. Is there someone else except mko who would like this feature?

heh, I've already done about 40% of first option :) Stuck on probably most important part, getting params work, but working on solving this. Will send You modifications, when done, so You could decide if use it or not.

Hahahahaha... why the harder way, mko ?!

Having a checkbox in Image Manager, in folder view, and having additional data in an image xml file is much better. If you wish, you can help us with folder details support :-)

I agree, just focused on plugin now. I've done it working both ways (with Priority=-1 temporary, code on email).
Idea with first option is to hide some folders global, like "_descriptions" or ".svn" etc. left by previously used gallery (AtomIcon).
