Currently, the way the MegaGallery (maybe mGallery - what do you think?) works, is that when the module is added to the page, one of the configurable options is to set a max width/height for the larger image (default is 600px).  When images are uploaded, they're automatically resized to not exceed the max width/height, before being loaded.  It wouldn't take too much more to add an additional method to upload a "full-screen" size as well, with a "max-width" setting for full-screen size. 

It sounds like you'd also like to see an option for "download full resolution"? I'd make that a per-module setting, so that if the site owner wants to offer availability of hi-res images, they have the ability to do so. Since access to modules can already be set by rights and roles, that means that premium content can also be controlled by rights/roles security.  I'm looking forward to seeing what Joe does with Site Membership Pro - that has some potential for integration; one step at a time, though!

I already have the ability for a custom watermark built-in; it's actually integrated into the larger image via GDI+.  Depending on how big they choose the watermark to be, could control how much of a "preview" it is.

The images are stored in the database, in order to improve security for the image owner.  When I first created it, I had someone who wanted to be a "smarty" tell me he could just traverse the site to find the un-watermarked image. When I explained the technique I had chosen to use, he was definitely pouty. :-D

Given that this has even more functionality than the Ad Manager, I'd planned on making the price a bit higher, but I haven't determined what my price will be.  I'll probably have an introductory price on it - have to switch to the "money" side of my brain to process that.

Have a great vacation, and thanks for your feedback!

Joe,

The mGallery (I do think I like that name) was designed and created for a client of mine who is a photographer; BWB is his "fun" site, and we also use it on his professional photography site, Rose and Dagger Studios.  I've implemented it for a product catalog on other sites as well, and it'll be used for an online digital art gallery in the near future.

the mGallery does the same thing for resizing on upload, but I'm thinking that since the option for a full-size image to be incorporated is being requested, what I may do instead is to detect screen resolution, and render "full-size" accordingly at display time.

Joe, you're welcome to test it out and see how you like it, once I add on the additional setting (probably by the end of next week or so) - I know what it's like not to have enough time for all the things you'd like to do!

Hi! There's a readme in the downloadable zip, but I'm more than happy to address any questions you might have. Just to confirm: what version of mojoPortal are you using? I've just updated the download on IndigoTea.com to the latest version of MegaGallery, compatible with 2.3.8.5

Sure! There's really not a lot of coding involved; just add the contents of the "web" folder in the .zip file into the root directory of your mojoPortal installation, and then navigate to [your mojoportal URL]/setup/default.aspx - mojoPortal will run the installation scripts automatically from there. Once you see the message that the installation is complete, navigate back to the page you'd like the MegaGallery to be contained in, and add it to the page just like you would any other feature.

MegaGallery has just come out of beta today; I'll write up a complete tutorial on how to create new albums and add your images tonight or tomorrow. I do highly recommend updating to the latest version of mojoPortal and the MegaGallery plug-in; both have some nice new bits and refinements.

what i mean is where can i find the root file directory?

our url is new.fasttrackteam.com
