Link Gallery to other IPS apps


Recommended Posts

Gallery is one app that I would like to be more used on my community.

I think that the issue that makes Gallery so underused is that it is not really connected to other IPS apps.

Gallery and albums could be an option to hold images from Forum's posts, from Page's posts, from Products in Commerce, from users Profile, and so on.

Simple features could be added to link Gallery with the community, for example:

  • add a button in forum's new topic or new reply to give the user the opportunity to create an album or to add images or videos to an existent album and embed it to the new topic or replay;
  • add a custom field type gallery in Pages to give the author  the opportunity to create an album or to add images or videos to an existent album and embed it to the new content post;
  • add a custom field type gallery in Commerce to give the seller the opportunity to create an album or to add images or videos to an existent album and embed it to the new product post;
  • add a button in user profiles to give the user the opportunity to create an album or to add images or videos to an existent album and embed it to its profile.

I suppose that a few coding lines by IPS could make Gallery much more useful.

There is an app to link Gallery to Pages, but it's not working anymore (https://invisioncommunity.com/files/file/7273-album-link-field/) and an app based on BBcode, which will be deprecated (https://invisioncommunity.com/files/file/7365-bim-gallery-in-post/).

Hope IPS makes Gallery more integrated to the whole community and takes it to the place that it really deserves in the framework.

Maybe in 4.5.1?

Good work guys!
