Users galleries inside categories ...

[Rodinou]

I'm rewriting my site http://www.fantasya.net and in 1998, I have had a similar thing than Coppermine ... but today, I must admit Coppermine is become for me the BEST free soft I have ever seen .. and the Dev Team realizes a great stuff .


So Fantasya.Net had several themes

- Fantasy Art
- Erotic Art
- Manga & Anime
- Photography
- Infography


I would like users can choose their category by updating their gallery. I have understood how Coppermine worked (all the adresses are in DB), so ... in fact, pictures would be physically on their USER PICS albums, but virtually in the categories they have choosen (after verification of the admin, of course).

I don't know if it's planned for 1.4 ... if it's the case, I'm waiting for it, if not, I could rewrite my version.

Thanx.

so you're requesting that there is a meta album under user galleries that leads you to all pics uploaded into public galleries by one specific user (similar to the link in the user's profile), is that correct?

your english is too hard for me ...

So ... It's probably that ... but I explain in another way.



Rod (me) is photographer ... he creates a gallery in it's own album section (we are ok ...). In this moment, admin validates pic per pic (like now) and user has a personal album ... after verification, the admin could choose "in which category can go this album" ?

Fantasy Art ?
Erotic Art ?
Manga Art ?
Infography ?

I can choose between the categories created above, and user sees its gallery in photography.

I have understood with time, and with the powerful of Coppermine, all is in the database ... so finally, a user could have several albums in fantasy art, in erotic art ... but can give its personal url ...

The best thing would be under an album (when shown in personal gallery) "This album is in "Photography Section" ...

It would be THE future for me.


Is like that you have understood ?

OK, I think I got the idea. Not sure if this is something the majority of coppermine users would find helpfull - for me, it sounds confusing. Isn't it enough to have the uploader name displayed for pics that went to a user gallery in the first place and got moved to the public section by the admin? Anyway, I'm not sure this should/will get implemented, but your request got noticed.

OK thanx.

I think this request could be interest people ... really. All people like me who have an "artist" communauty"


If you have time to "see" on what I worked since 1998 ... you'll understand Coppermine and Fantasya have ressemblances

But in fantasya, an user could have several galleries in same category, or in different category : the advantage, when you visited a "Digital Gallery" but the User had too "Erotic Gallery", a link appeared ...

Luis Royo have several Fantasy Gallery : not time at this moment to rename the names of his galleries, but which style there were ...

Hoping with Fantasya.Net, you could understand this request has its place if coppermine is used as a Communauty artist.
