X3Photo Gallery Forums

I can understand it affects your storage, but bandwidth traffic amount should be the same. Any user still just loads a single image, and not one for all three lagnuages.

If is use cache option, - yes (for server side), but not for visitors, as image of other language is download from other url. By other words, if I to open image with English description, then to open image with Russian description, in result visitor have opened two images (of same view, but from different url). For visitors it will be double time of loading (for same url of image, different language would be download already cached image and will open more faster)

Not 100% sure what you mean, but I think you are suggesting that you want to use the same folder for images across languages. Of course, that would be optimal, but that would require the gallery to be able to store multiple language descriptions for each image. We will have to consider this, although not even database-driven archive galleries, or flickr support this...

I understand, but it would be good if in each folder there would be an additional parameter which would specify whence to take images if a folder is empty (from same domain if any....). It would solve the problem with languages mentioned above.

You can disable this from admin -> config -> settings.useswfaddress - uncheck the option.

Thank you very much!!
Sorry again for my English.
Seems your script is very attractive and in special with flash thumbnail preview and zoom option for full size image. So, I recomand you to add (in main controls for full size image) set of background color. For sample you can see my version of viever at:
http://www.sgallery.net/paintings/evening-622
(two links bellow: java, and javascript) Javascript version work well only in IE.

I really don't understand this - Are you saying all your visitors visit first the site in Russian, then later view the same picture sin the English version? That would be the ONLY reason they would load the image twice from two separate locations ..

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean here ... You would have some script that says "if this folder is empty, read photos from a totally separate folder outside of the scope of this imagevue folder"?

Sorry, this is things we want to avoid with this gallery. This has not been requested before, and I have to ask ... Who wants to be changing the background color for the image in a showcase gallery anyway? That javascript has bloated controls, and it doesn't even work properly in firefox ...

No, but to duplicate same pictures for presence of each language it is very undesirable.

Yes. For sample I have created new map "gallery1_russian" and in options for this map (where is fields for rename, set as "html", or "link" properties) to add new field for "new path for images" (for sample /gallery/content/gallery1/). In this folder imagevue script can have only folderdata.xml file with titles and descriptions in russian for same images (from /gallery/content/gallery1/). It would be good, if in this file (folderdata.xml) there was a new parameter for each image [url path] (for sample /gallery/content/gallery1/1.jpg).

I'm artist, therefore know that different pictures are looked better on some specific background-color.
Also for example some people wish to choose a picture for the house and look as this painting will be looked on their brown(for sample) house wall.
I understand that it is almost superfluous thing but if you wish to improve your script in the future, probably you should add simply new opportunities, as in the rest your script is almost perfect. Counter of views (for each image) will be useful.
Ok, probably I have very much bothered you. So I have the client who wishes to buy your script and I should install it on her website. She does not require in set languages, therefore some discussed themes here can be ignored for her website.
Thank you for your attention!

Thank you for your suggestions. We are of course considering improvements all the time!
