Example : Ansel displays photos stored on a remote owncloud installation. Ansel displays photos from external media sites like Vimeo. Ryu Thu, 22 Aug 2013 07:31:24 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/12598#t80186 Since Ansel uses VFS to store the images, it would make more sense to add a WebDAV driver to Horde_Vfs. Then you could use owncloud or any other cloud storage service that provides WebDAV API. Not sure about external specific photo/video services.

Accessing/displaying images from backend storage is only one part of what Ansel provides. My plan is to implement different "remote gallery" types for different services (utilizing various Horde_Service_* libraries). I actually hacked-together a prototype of this working with Vimeo back in Horde 3 to test the idea. This lets us be more flexible in what services we can support, not limiting us to cloud services with WebDAV access and providing a more feature rice experience for those remote APIs that offer more features (I'm thinking Tags, Geolocation, "likes", different ways of grouping photos together etc...) Any photo sharing site we can write a Horde_Service_* package for could be supported. We could (and should) make a "WebDAV gallery type" one of a multitude of remote gallery types, but shouldn't limit remote access to WebDAV.
