NC 18: Make gallery compatible for until photos provides similar functionality #569

Open neufeind opened 4 years ago

neufeind commented 4 years ago

Photos seems to lack some features so far, for example publically showing a gallery by using a token. Inofficially it's possible to still load the gallery-app and it also supports opening a share with a token. But the main gallery-view remains empty. Is there some tweak that you can maybe apply to be able to continue using NC 18 until photos is a full replacement?

neufeind commented 4 years ago

Workaround to get the old gallery running on NC18. Simply add a missing JS-library. Worked fine on my installation. https://help.nextcloud.com/t/new-photo-app-in-nextcloud-18/69949/19

Could shipping that library be a workaround for a v18-branch of the gallery-app here?

I confirm workaround is working well.

This gallery app fit all my need, which are: https://github.com/nextcloud/photos/issues/143 , https://github.com/nextcloud/photos/issues/142 and https://github.com/nextcloud/photos/issues/128 )

I want to participate more in nextcloud since some time, but I never started it. So maybe I can help maintain this app with the future nextcloud release. It should be a good introduction for me.

@skjnldsv any advice on this ?

I just read the dev doc about "Publishing Apps on the App Store", and I think we maybe can create an app called something like "Old Gallery".

I have already forked, and I will apply the patch which in fact is the same as the PR: https://github.com/nextcloud/gallery/pull/570

Hey :smile_cat: That would be counter intuitive to what we're trying to do here!

Aside from the public view, the photos app is a very big enhancement (in terms of features, it's ok, nothing crazy was done, but in terms of coding and finally being able to move on from the old legacy code gallery was written with) I'll gladely help anyone willing to help on the photos app to make it more and more awesome :rocket: And I'll, of course, keep working on it :wink:

FYI, we are trying to fix this and other regressions asap. This was an oversight we just didn't catch - sorry for that, lucky news is that you can get involved in testing to help avoid these issues next time!

See https://help.nextcloud.com/t/new-photo-app-in-nextcloud-18/69949/32 for a more complete response.

I also currently try install gallery to 18. Thing is that we have distributed our gallery links several years to hundreds of places. It is just braindead idiotic thing to go and disable and remove plugin without any warning and without providing any compat mode for links.
