Photo Gallery Forums

I've found what I believe is a decent way to have lots of archived content in imageview while not cluttering up the main menu.

Create a page with html links pointing to content contained within a invisible sub-folder. The folder hierarchy would look like this.

Archive > .Archive > (content)

- "Archive" folder is a text page with links pointing to the content

- ".Archive" folder is invisible to the Imagevue Menu (because of the period) and thus all the content contained within is invisible to the Menu as well.

If you would like to retire content, simply move it's folder (via ftp) from it's live location into the .Archive folder and create a link to it (on the Archive page/folder).

The benefit of all of this is you could potentially keep years of retired content online & google-able without cluttering up the main menu -;)

Thanks for the tip!

I was thinking of creating some additional modules for textpage - For example a module that links all galleries/folders within a given folder.

Great idea if thats possible! Could it link through to hidden content though? That would be extremely useful in listing archived/retired content off menu.

...especially if the links would respectively point through to the the HTML or Flash content depending on which the user views.

Nice -;)

Yes, it would be a code you could add to textpages, something like [listgalleries:content/foldername/]. You could target any folder, hidden or not.

Unfortunately, I am not sure how much effort we can put into synchronizing all features in both galleries. We initially created the HTML gallery simply as a gallery option for the images/structure. Mirroring all features may not be feasible or even possible.

Excellent! I'm constantly impressed by what you are able to do with V2!

I'm setting up 1 hard coded link into the hidden archive folder on the HTML side and users can view it's content from there. That'll do fine.

Thanks -;)
