Currently both Matt> Stonehenge::Pictures and Apache::Gallery simply display the .jpg Matt> on the zoomed view. I'm planning a rewrite that will do exactly that. In fact, I wanna make a .jpg link that doesn't have a correct referer (yeah, I know, I know) do a redirect to a single-page containing the jpg, to prevent people from inlining my images. Part of the problem with that has been that the logic to select a picture has been ordinal based, not named-based, and the logic to show a particular image hasn't really known what position each image was in the order of things. I'm gonna get rid of the "1-n" entirely, just go to names for next/prev The rewrite will be Template-Toolkit based, so the "backend logic" will figure out the interesting bits to display, while the "frontend logic" will be a template contained at the end of the program, allowing fine tweaking easily. === To: Vivek Khera <khera@kcilink.com> From: Stas Bekman <stas@stason.org> Subject: Re: Apache::Gallery Date: Wed, 10 Oct 2001 10:05:23 +0800 Vivek Khera wrote: >>>>>>"RLS" == Randal L Schwartz <merlyn@stonehenge.com> writes: >>>>>> > > RLS> The rewrite will be Template-Toolkit based, so the "backend logic" > RLS> will figure out the interesting bits to display, while the "frontend > RLS> logic" will be a template contained at the end of the program, > RLS> allowing fine tweaking easily. > > I wrote up a TT program back in May when my second baby girl was born > to put together a collection of images.

I can send it to you Randal, if you want, but you probably want to write your own :) I've added the paging for single images, so you don't have to click around... === To: "Peter J.

Perhaps writing an Image Gallery is the second rite of passage for a Perl hacker, shortly after they write a templating system. :-) Advanced gurus reinvent Exporter and SelfLoader for no apparent reason (witness CGI.pm :). :-) ===
