This pretty much. It's still getting likes to this day since I constantly get push notifications about it, so maybe one day we will see something.Make sure you Like the first post. It helps gauge the popularity and determine if it should become a feature or not.
Where would images uploaded to posts be entered in the gallery?
In a random category?
In a new category?
In a pre-defined album?
Personally it doesn't make much sense to me - threads/posts and gallery are separate and should remain so.
So I’m always greeted with pictures at the top of the page and some of them really pique my interest. Is there any way to find what posts link to them?
Is there a trick to get to the posts/threads from pictures in the Gallery section on the Forums main page? When browsing through the gallery pictures, I will frequently see a picture of interest and want to see the conversation in the post. I assume these are almost all pictures getting added when someone posts a thread and not just random uploads to the gallery
I'm getting ready to install MG because its the best option right now, but I will be in the same situation you're in once it starts getting used. My site is for one specific classic car and there is a LOT of very useful information and photos on the forum. Restorations with hundreds of "how to" image files, photos taken with the car taken completely apart ready for metal work or paint, etc. My plan is to create a "vault" so to speak of images that will only be related to that particular model of car, always stored on the same server so the content and images will never be separated (photobucket, etc.). That said, there will still be challenges for users to find content related to images and I have a feeling I'll be explaining it over and over to them.So I’m now left to explain that even though you can view the photos on the forum page via a widget, insert these photos into your new posts and view these photos from a post inside of the forum, they’re not really part of the forum......they’re in the gallery.
This is a great idea. The specifics could be worked out, or there could be options for each admin to use to customize. But the basic idea is an awesome one, and one that I get asked for pretty frequently.To better explain what I'm trying to say basically:
I upload something to a post and it can still be accessed via the Media Gallery, basically if Media Gallery is installed on your xF Install, it becomes the central thing for images across the site.
@Chris D,
Would be cool if there was a tab where you could see all image across the site and comment on them, etc.
