Jade Dominguez of TastySeed has created TidyPics, a new photo gallery for Elgg 1.0. After a slew of releases, Version 1.04 seems to have slain most of the bugs. Once installed via ftp to the mod folder and enabled in the admin interface, a new option appears in the menus:
Select Photos and you get the following page.
Click to enlarge
The first time, you are prompted to create an album with options for title, caption, tags, and access. Note the owner’s block to the left with options to view your, your friends’, and all site photo albums. Once the album is created, you are taken to a page for uploading files.
Again you have options for title, caption, and tags. Access is governed by the album. Once you upload the image, you are brought to the Album view.
Note that you have options to make comments on the album. To view an image, click on it and it appears full sized. Once you open the image view, you have the opotion to edit or delete the picture. If you select edit, you are given the option of making the image the album cover.
Tidypics has a clean simple, and easy to use interface. Jade has also created a support area in the Elgg Community where he offers assistance and seeks input. He plans to continue to develop TidyPics with new enhancements in the future.
