Not seeing the d/l link for this gallery Mick, or maybe I'm not looking in the right place?

Ken, sorry I knew I'd forgotten something.  Attached to Pete's post here, https://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=525210.msg3921971#msg3921971

Perhaps try it on your test site first and see if it's to your liking. 

[Ken (OP)]

My test site is broken and so it will needs be tested here.

Aha, I see.  Then here it is then.    I see it's installed now.   :coolsmiley:

I see you're liking it already. lol.. 

By the way ken, if you add a new TP block you'll notice there is a couple of levertine Gallery blocks built in for you to choose from. Random or (latest media) So you can add images etc from the gallery to your pages.

You can also link to youtube vids etc and add those as items.  Oh, and when you add or edit an item you can add a tag word to each item, so they show on the built in tag cloud.

Yes and I'm liking this media mod, the general look and feel of the layout and features is great. One thing that caught me immediately is the image links interface, a simple click to copy an image to the clipboard and then place within your post... not having to do all that copy/paste/copy/paste that is needed with gallery-pro is great.

The block and the youtube vids sounds interesting... looks like I've got some exploring to do.

One thing that I've just seen is this; when a posted image is clicked to expand you are redirected to the media gallery to see the full sized image... gotta see is that can be changed, because to me staying in the post/topic is better.

Not bad for a freebie is it.  Pete did a great job with this media gallery.

The TP blocks like I said will be either Random or Latest media.  You can tweak them to show more or less columns or rows, I think the default is  4 x4

Using the TP blocks,
I have three images down the left hand side here, https://guitaristguild.com/

And four along the lower center, here https://thegardenmachineryforum.co.uk/

I'm going to check into the TP Blocks, likely do a single column on the left, or maybe a single row.

Testing the image redirect:

That's a good point actually.  It doesn't bother me, but I can understand why it would bother other users.  Not sure there's a setting to change this though.  Wonder if we could add another bbcode to it.

[Ken (OP)]

Adding another bbcode might work.

Found an importer function and I'm looking at the Aeva Media import, I had that installed a long time back and did not realize that there was still content available. I think that it needs to be imported just to see whats there, of course we would louse all of our nifty content that we just posted.

Image redirect test:
EDIT: still not what I'm looking for, but it's progress.  8)

This could be a mistake because the images may not actually exist on the server, rather the importer may only see entries in the db???
Gotta take a look with FTP and see what's actually there.

[Ken (OP)]

Added a TP Block to one of the lower panels... looks good.
