Support / Integrate external galleries

[cbenning]

I've got a huge photo library, with many people in photos that I've carefully face-tagged into the image metadata. I've written an external static gallery generator, deliberately to link out from my personal webtrees instance because managing photos and galleries is nice but not really something I want a geneology site to be managing.

The way I would like to integrate with my instance of webtrees with photo collections is to:

• have an external source for photos (which I can manage separately)
• link out from a person to my external url with an included name in a variable
• have the external source display the gallery for that person based on face tags

Here is my project: https://github.com/cbenning/fussel

I was wondering if there were thoughts / plans for adding something like a well supported outward gallery link or something? I'd be happy to contribute on something like this if there is interest.

I also would appreciate better integration of external media sites. Not only image galleries, but cloud media services in general (video, documents, ...). Something in the direction of https://collectionaire.com/ . Unfortunately, it'll be a challenge to do all this within the limitations of the GEDCOM standard. The best approach would probably be a new (external) Webtrees module scanning for special URLs in the GEDCOM media objects and handling the presentation of these URLs (embed videos, image galleries etc.).
