Request: Albums within albums #812

Open sushimustwrite opened 12 years ago

sushimustwrite commented 12 years ago

Got a request a few days ago about albums within albums. Think Flickr's sets nested within collections. This isn't currently possible with OpenPhoto's model according to my test. (Or if this is possible, it's broken, which is an actual bug.) Yes, you can add a photo to more than one album, but for some folks that nesting really is necessary.

An update on this, almost a year later: heard more requests for this.

Not planned but I do think it's something we will eventually support. Development has been really slow as of late but hopefully that starts to pick up as a few "non code" related items clear up.

Without this or users/groups, what's the intended workflow for sharing a changing set of pictures with a specific group of people?

For an example, one album for family photos and one for a soccer team. I could add a new album for each family event and each game and have them all be accessible under the private URL for the parent album.

With the current model, I think the best I can do is email the album link for each album as I create it. In order to browse through past photos, my family or teammates will need to go back through their email. And if I reconnect with a cousin or someone joins the team, I either wind up gathering URLs for each of the old albums or leave them out of the history.

@skomorokh Our relaunched groups feature let's you grant permissions to albums. https://trovebox.com/post/trovebox-for-groups-beta

Ah, missed that! Great work, really liking a lot of the design decisions going on, it's a fine balance to prioritise. I can see that not having an album hierarchy simplifies things a lot at this stage.

If it's on master I'm going to give it a shot, but I'm running into #1350 with the settings menu. Going to poke around and see if I can come up with some more detail for the bug. Or will I wind up needing to pull the develop branch to play with this?

Does the groups feature let you quickly create groups by just typing email addresses into a field, at which point anyone who can authenticate to a mentioned email via Persona/G+/FB can access content shared with that group?

@skomorokh The Groups feature on Trovebox.com haven't made it to Github (yet). That's still TBD for too many reasons to get into on this issue :).

I wonder if the simplicity of the non-hierarchical albums is a good thing?

(That said, I found this issue because I was searching for this feature!)

It's subjective. But I did say the following in an earlier comment

It's still not a top priority for us at the moment but pull requests are welcome :).
