Hi Karl,
having wanted to migrate my site on
stormpix.net from koken, like many others it seems, I came across x3 photo gallery.
I have to say: It really is a pleasure to use, with enough freedom and technical stuff to be not too limiting, but still keeping an easy to use interface.
And most importantly: I finally feel I am in control of _my_ data again. So I'm back to posting on my website again, and not having some algorithm decide when and how to show it.
So thanks for building this and making it fun to publish again - with great performance and mobile friendly layouts. In the end it also helps to keep motivated to photograph!
Tips for koken migrators:
* I use Lightroom with the jfCollection Publisher and FreeFileSync to auto upload via ftps and an after sync action to call a touch.php (somewhere else in the forums) to trigger page rebuild.
* I add text descriptions to image caption; using the following css addition in x3 settings to show the linebreaks.
.popup-caption-description,
p[itemprop="description"] {
white-space: pre-line;
overflow:auto !important;
}
So the workflow allows me to publish in Lightroom and having new pictures appear on the page with description, without having to log in and upload manually.
Maybe someone can use this.
Any feedback welcome.
Cheers,
Stefan
