There were a few problems with this code so committed with some changes (functionlaity remains the same). Most notably:

-        Changed method of identifying pictures, it no longer users request parameters, therefore it will work in a statically generated site as well as in a webapp.

- removed output.xmap since a plugin cannot provide input.xmap *and* output.xmap. functionlaity in output.xmap moved to resources.xmap

- enabled display of full size image

- Added some sample pictures for docs

- Added basic documentation.

Hi,

I once did a picture gallery for forrest. You can find the result at 
http://schreibubi.pi5.physik.uni-stuttgart.de/gallery/lena/newcam/index.html

When the plugin system came around I've started to adapt it to the plugin 
system, but never came around to finish it. It is almost working, but right 
now I don't have the time to finish it, because I have to write my 
PhD-Thesis. I've attached the last version to this e-mail.

It works like this:
-Uses the image directory generator from cocoon to get a list of images
(directory structure is a dir with the following dirs small, big, preview 
(where the pictures can be found in different sizes).
-gallery.xsl transforms this into valid forrest-html, which is rendered 
according to the selected skin
-To display one picture gallerybild.xsl is used. The version in the archive 
tries to use a template.xml as template, where only the picture name of the 
picture is substituted and then skinned. This dosn't work yet... So I've also 
included the old version where everything is hardcoded.

Some more ideas I had for the gallery, is to have a file comment.xml where you 
can put in comments about each picture, which are displayed under the full 
picture (maybe in the format which digikam from KDE writes...so you can edit 
your comments comfortably). Maybe also tooltips on each preview image with 
the size and other information added (would be great if the directory 
generator from cocoon could interpret exif...)

Do whatever you want with code, I thereby license it under the BSD-License.

Hope this helps,

Jörg
