Album feature #29

Open tbho opened 2 years ago

tbho commented 2 years ago

Hey, I love this project. It's cool and saved me tons of hours updating our wordpress site to host about 300 photos.

I have one question and i'm not quite sure if i overread the answer. Is there some sort of album feature? That only specific photos are show if for example a special path is called or in what way so ever. Then I would build a small html site that links to the specific paths with the photos. We would love to host photos of specific events in one page alone (so that other photos are not shown).

Thanks in advance for your help ❤️

Hi Tobias, thanks for the awesome feedback. @maxvoltar did a really nice job with photo-stream and I am happy to keep it going. Recently @boerniee joined and that did push productivity a lot. :)

Anyway, regarding the feature you have been asking for, I am afraid there's currently no album support in photo-stream and it is also not planned. I actually want to keep the project rather simple.

I was thinking about albums before though and what I ended up as an idea was more like a separate project to achieve that by using photo-stream to build albums. It could contain several config files and running the build command for each, moving files from _site to other folders, maybe even generating a static page containing links to each folder.

Well, maybe that could also just be a bash script, then it could end up in _scripts?

Hey, thanks for the quick answer. Cool, did not know about the scripts. I'll try if i find a way to maybe build albums from the original files folder or something like that :)

Please keep us updated in case you make progress on that as we might take a look at it as well. ;)

Sadly not, too busy with other projects as always :D

Came here just now and want to raise my hand for this feature. In my case I would actually want to have "non-public" albums by default (i.e. just unique URL for each album) so that I can decide who can access what. Another requirement is that my albums will always overlap, so I do not want to copy photos to "album directories" but just link them (symlink?) making it easy to scrape an album (but not the photos) and recreate it in case someone breached the unique URL.

Hi, I just stumbled over this project and I love the idea of just pictures with nothing else distracting.

However I too was wondering about albums or really just subfolders.

I'd be happy to provide my own "start page" that links to galleries or albums. I'm thinking Photo Portfolio here with a few categories.

From what I understood, I could use a docker container to build this static site. So with the scripts one could in theory iterate over subfolders in original and deploy into subfolders of _site and then use something like nginx to map that to proper urls and put a landing page on top of it?

Has anyone tips regarding the script? Right now I'm thinking multiple docker containers with slightly different env/volume configs.

Unclear if this is helpful/relevant, but there is a fork/port of the original from maxvoltar which supports Hugo and folders/albums. Maybe some of the code could be backported here?
