Experimental Utility additions to Media Gallery.
Adds some additional tools for managing media galleries - especially large and bulky ones.
-
Move to top/bottom
-
To help alleviate the problems of darg&drop between multi-page galleries, additional context menu items let you bump an individual image immediately to the top or bottom of the list.
-
Add to top/bottom
-
To allow editors to add content to a gallery and promote the newer items, this toggle will let you insert new content (added with [add media]) at the top of page one, rather than at the bottom of page 3.
- Metatag support
- Metatag.module provides good support for file entities as seen at URLs like /file/%fid but these are not exposed when using media_gallery pages like /media-gallery/detail/%gid/%fid . This makes it less nice to 'share' gallery images via opengraph etc as the metadata is unavailable. This module fixes that by exposing the appropriate metadata on Media Gallery Detail pages. Configure your metatag preferences for File entities and see them inside galleries.
Permission "Image: Edit own files" or "Image: Edit any files" must be set under the File Entity section of role permissions to provide access to these contextual actions.
As Media Gallery is interminably unstable, bits of this may not work depending on versions
Currently built against Media_gallery 7.x-2.x-dev (2015-02) If pulling from git, use branch 7.x-2.x , as this project has been named to match that branch.
It seems that media gallery just was not meant to scale. As the drag & drop UI is the only way to order items, this becomes unwieldy as soon as you have enough items to start paging.
Here are some experimental work-arounds to these issues.
This module is an incubator for ideas, and may be used to propose or demonstrate issues for the media_gallery project - or to demonstrate handy ways to extend media_gallery on your own.
Ideally these tweaks may become part of normal media_gallery behaviour.
