I’m currently running XenForo Cloud 2.3 and I’m looking for a custom add-on to expand the functionality of the XenForo Media Gallery (XFMG). Specifically, I want to improve privacy controls, album presentation, and album sorting options.
Here’s what I need:
Privacy:
Thumbnail:
Sorting:
Notes:
Here’s what I need:
Privacy:
- Request Access for Private Albums
- Users should be able to request access to private albums.
- Album owners should receive a notification and have the option to approve or deny the request.
- These users would then be automatically added to the album's "viewers" list.
- Follower-Only Albums
- An optional privacy setting where only followers of the album owner can view the album.
- Follows are already core in XenForo; the addon should just check the relationship at album view time.
Thumbnail:
- Allow the album owner to choose one specific media item from within the album to act as the cover/thumbnail.
- Override the current auto-selected 4-preview thumbnail block.
- Display just the selected image as the album’s visual preview.
Sorting:
- Add support for sorting albums by the date of the most recently added media item.
- This would require a custom field or extended data column on the album entity (e.g. last_media_added_date) that gets updated whenever new media is added.
Notes:
- I am using XenForo Cloud, so the add-on must be compatible with XenForo's hosted environment.
- I’d prefer this built as a proper XF add-on with options to enable/disable individual features if possible.
- If you’ve already developed something similar or could split this into separate modules, I’m open to that as well.
- If interested please pm me or respond to this post with timeline and Quote
