Since I was unable to get in contact with someone who is writing a full fledged gallery/album module for drupal, I decided to try and write my own. I made a list of everything that i wanted it to do, and this is what I came up with. Let me know what you think. -- Album/Gallery Module Goal: Every user will not only be able to create their own blog but also their own photo galleries. These galleries must be easy to create. Users should not have to learn about taxonomy. Folksonomy should be enabled but not required. It also should be possible to list names or users that are present in the pictures or who own the pics (can be used to generate virtual galleries on the fly of pictures with a certain user or person, and it can be used to send notifications). -User based galleries -can organized by folksonomy -organized by user (by hand or mass upload) into albums and images are not required to have the same taxonomy terms to do this. -Virtual Galleries generated on the fly based on timestamp of image (provided jhead is installed) and/or taxonomy term(s) and/or folksonomy term(s) and/or user who posted. -Albums are containers that can contain other albums. -mass upload via zipped or tar.gzed pictures (just a feature I want but I think this is already going to be a part of image.module and does not belong in an album module). -Personal images should be stored in their own directories organized by user. (ie images/username) -Image deletion should be able to happen on a massive scale (ie all by user, all by album) I also think clicking Image Galleries should list users with Image galleries not the image galleries themselves. I would also list how many albums and pictures they have. --- I am new to the drupal system so my work will progress slowly (that and I have a hard schedule at the university, but lack a real job so i need something to fill the time). If there is someone already working on this, I would be glad to help instead of starting a new project. I also want input so I will not be working against the grain (or hacking up what I shouldn't be).
