Closing for now.

I'm inclined to say this ticket can be closed.  Having a lightbox on 
the page would be nice, but would pretty much require a total rewrite 
of the ajax carousel, not something I'm personally up for in the near 
future.



First/Last links would also be nice, but again, would require some 
changes to the carousel code that I'm not inclined to spend time on in 
the near future.



So, unless anyone else is going to do this, I'd say this can be 
closed, or maybe given a 2.0 milestone...

What's left here?

If ease of navigation here is the goal - then we should probably add a 
first and last image link to the carousel...

I guess I don't know if I'm comfortable with changing the user-defined 
sort order...plus the image_id will only follow the larger the numer 
== more recent upload if there were no images moved into the gallery 
from another gallery - probably a somewhat fringe case, I know, but I 
don't think we should be relying on a backend specific numbering 
scheme for presentation logic.

Then we can just resort the array of images_ids. As ids are 
incremental, we get the correct upload order by using 
rsort($image_ids, SORT_NUMERIC).

Committed item #2 from above, and tweaked it a bit to remove some 
(now) redundant checks in the upload template file and to avoid 
loading any of the js if we aren't showing the carousel.



Anyone else want to weigh in on points #1 and #3 before I close?

Changes have been made in CVS for this ticket:

http://cvs.horde.org/diff.php/ansel/img/upload.php?rt=horde&r1=1.38&r2=1.39&ty=u
http://cvs.horde.org/diff.php/ansel/templates/image/upload.inc?rt=horde&r1=1.12&r2=1.13&ty=u

I'm not sure I agree with this.  If we are going to change this 
behavior, I'd much rather see something like a "What do you want to do 
now?" message. You could redirect back to the upload screen, and 
display this message with choices like view gallery, add captions, 
etc...

This is how Flickr works, IIRC.



Of course, even better would be an Ajax image uploader :)
Looks good, thanks.
The only issue I have with this is that the images are not necessarily 
listed in chronological order, they are listed according to the 
image_sort field.  Listing them in reverse order may or may not 
provide the last uploaded image first - and it might lead to confusion 
with the user as to why there images are not in the order they have 
selected.

1.redirect again to image upload screen after image upload. Is a 
natural begaviour as you are filling the gallery. Otherwise you must 
always go back to the upload screen.

2.Load image_ids for lightbox only if gallery is  not empty

3.Show images in recursive order. Is more natural to see by default 
the last uploaded images not to always slide to see what you uploaded 
the last time.
