Feature request - Photo album grouping should be more intelligent

exponentcms commented 4 years ago

Currently grouped (categorized) photos are broken at the exact number of photos per page, but should probably be a bit more intuitive? Some ideas/new views?

'default/showall' view should probably show all the photos (paged) as it has in the past, and to some extent should allow grouping by gallery (category) as it currently is
showall 'gallery' view should display first photo? and the link should take you to either a slideshow or page of all the photos (paged?) in that gallery (category)
perhaps a new showall 'showcase' view (similar to filedisplay?)

Most of these options would be selected in EITHER the module config OR the view config

Secondly (but more importantly), we'd need to add code which allows pulling up a page of photos by category.

FWIW, the difference between the default and galleries views is the set of records they process, e.g, default processes the $page->records, where galleries processes the $page->cats...however at this point of coding maturity, they often produce identical output.

Have the select by group code working locally, still need to incorporate it into the views (e.g., category names bring you to that gallery, etc...)

Also need to integrate slideshows by group/category

(from [13bf47406198f8499370a95078c348d12658afc3]) Implements photo album grouping to view gallery (category) by gallery or slideshow (by clicking on group/category name). More specifically, it adds several features/changes to expPaginator such as selective groups (limit to one or more categories of items), and setting the paging default to ALL items to prevent having to have the work-arounds in each module. Modules are now (still) set up to recognize no page limit entry (blank) as the default of 10 (which no change), but an entry of '0' now means ALL items. Though this feature is only available in the photoalbum module, it will be implemented in other modules using categories in the near future.
