I’m working on a new website, and I’m obviously using Radiant as CMS. My client need to manage some links…some of this are displayed in the sidebar, others in an other page; each link has an image. I simply created two differents galleries using my Gallery extension; the first one called ‘Links’ and the second one called ‘Sidebar Links’..then i added this code in the layout inside the sidebar:
<r:gallery id="1">
<r:gallery:items:each>
<li><a href="<r:gallery:item:description />"><img src="<r:gallery:item:thumb width="200" />" /></a></li>
</r:gallery:items:each>
</r:gallery>
…and similar in the links page. Now i can simply add a link uploading an image in one of the two galleries, and setting the link url as image description.

I’m not a graphic designer, but sometimes i need to modify some images..often only a simple resize or crop. I usually use Gimp as editor..it’s simple to use and it’s open source! But I’ve just found a new tool that I can run quickly on my mac..its name is Seashore; it is based around the GIMP’s technology and it use Cocoa libraries..it has fewer features than Gimp, but it doesn’t need Apple’s X11!!

There are two main changes on Radiant Gallery Extension…the first one is visible in the admin page…do you want to use an image from the web instead of upload it? Switch to “set file url” mode and specify its url!

The second change is visibile using the lightbox tag:
<r:gallery:lightbox />
…this is the new visualization:

…try it now!

Gallery 0.2.0 just released! Check it out with darcs:
darcs get http://darcs.bigchieflabs.com/radiant/extensions/gallery/
..or download the archive here.
I’ve got some problem with my repository..if you already use Gallery extension, delete it and download it again, instead of update (pull) with darcs. Also delete galleries and gallery_items tables and reinstall extension..read here for more docs.
