Tapestry ImageGallery Component
Hi, I'm in the process of implementing a Tapestry Component that will
render an AJAX like Image Gallery, and I would like to know if somebody
has done something similar or this component already exists out there.
Thanks.
Raul.

Hi Steven, I agree with you in fact that's what I was planning on doing
passing an array or collection<Model> of objects as a parameter to the
component and have it render as a Image Gallery, some optional
parameters could be thumbnail sizes, thumbs per page, show descriptions...
If you want to get involved you're more than welcome.
I could setup a project for this in my cvs repository to host the sources.
best regards.
Raul.

Re: Tapestry ImageGallery Component
Posted by Steven Bell <be...@gmail.com>.
I'm also interested building a component to help create image galleries.
I'm fairly new to Tapestry, but I'm interested in trying it. I plan to use
it to create galleries of family photos.
Some ideas:
Possibly make the component work like an iterator to avoid locking the user
into a specific layout.
Have a model (Interface) that exposes the full size image, a thumbnail,
tooltip text, and a description for each image.
I like the idea of categories although I wonder if that should be included
in the component or if the user of the component should be filtering the
image list as part of putting images in the gallery. I think categories
would be more app specific.
I could see a default model that could take the location of the full size
image and generate thumbnails on the fly.
Let me know what you think and if you think I can help.

Re: Tapestry ImageGallery Component
Posted by Raul Raja Martinez <do...@estudiowebs.com>.
Hi Phillip,
basically the website has many Categories that serve as a way of
organizing the info in hierarchical way. Each Category can have its own
Image Gallery.
Categories and Images are two tables in the database and I'm using
hibernate to establish a bidirectional association between the two,
where One category may contain many Images. (Still not sure if they want
a Many to Many).
When I go to the ImageGallery page for a given Category I go to the
database and grab the related images link and then I should either:
1. Generate thumbnails of those images and display the images onclick of
the thumbnails without refreshing the page and without having previously
loaded the big image itself
Looking in google for things that people have done so far and example on
how i could approach the loading and so I came up with a couple of links
of existing Image galleries, commercial and non commercial that I like
and that use an Ajax like loading:
http://www.componentart.com/demos/callback/features/ajax_imageGallery/WebForm1.aspx
http://www.interaktonline.com/Company/Gallery/#content
http://www.zenphoto.org/zenphoto/page/1
Probably the best a approach would be creating a component that takes an
array of image locations or some model as parameters so that people
could use its own way to retrieve the image locations.
Most image galleries I found out there open source force you to have a
database and so.
Anyway tell me what you think, If your project has similar requirements
and you want to join efforts, I'm up to it.
Best Regards.
Raul Raja.

I am not kidding, I was planning on starting just such a component this
weekend. I had started one earlier, and my employer allows me to use any
open source components that I author on my own time... so I was going to
try to sneak some development in on this over the next couple of weekends.
I would be interested in hearing some of your requirements.
Thanks.
