Author Topic: Gallery Added  (read 4,580 times)

AI Summary
A new gallery section has been added to the curry recipes website, allowing users to upload pictures alongside their recipes. Users have expressed appreciation for the feature, while also suggesting improvements such as the ability to add multiple photos per post, include titles for each photo, and link recipes directly to the images. There is a consensus that including recipe links with each picture would enhance the gallery's usefulness, though some members believe that users will ask for recipes if they are interested in a particular dish.

Ok Curry People,

I have added a gallery section, you can see the 'Gallery' button at the top, or click here https://curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?action=gallery

Now we all have 100s of pics, just got to upload them now, then in time i will archive the old pictures section as this grows.
Its a cool gallery as you can add text and put your recipe info next to the pic, enjoy.

To add a picture, just click on the gallery name where you want the image to be placed and then goto 'Add Pictire'

Hi Stew,  ;) so we will be able to see the picture and have the recipe at the same time instead of having to search for the recipe?? That`ll save me some time... cheers mate.   ;D

Hi Stew,

Thanks for the upgrades Stew....looking good!  8)

A couple of comments/questions on the gallery:


  • can you add more than one photo per post?
  • I get and error message, and get dumped out of IE (version 6.0), when adding a photo
  • the new post, in the gallery, is not reflected in the "most recent posts" section?
  • I think it would be helpful to include the title of the photo in the gallery thumbnail

Any more upgrades to come Stew?  :P

Keep up the good work!  :)

Regards,

Hi Stew,

I have just added some photos to the gallery (well, some b*gger had to! :P)

I have three questions to ask please:


  • Please can you include a title for each photo?
  • Please can you add a function to scroll though the gallery, photo by photo?
  • It seems you can't edit the text without reloading the photo?  A real pain!  Please can you do something about this?

Many Thanks,

Skip the third point; I've worked out how to do it, but it's not so obvious!  :P

Nice pictures folks.  ;) Reminds me of that TV programme Vision On, where kids would send in their paintings  :D Anyway enough of that. My problem is, I see a picture of a curry that looks the business and I really fancy having a crack at, But can`t seem to track the recipe down. It would be great if with every picture put on the gallery there could be a link to it`s recipe. I dare say its something you will probably be able to sort out as you find time, but maybe as members post new pictures they could include this as a matter of coarse.  ;D

Yep, I agree with your comment Mike :)

Personally, I have included a link when the recipe exists on here.  If it doesn't, I intend to add a link when it does!  8)

Perhaps pictures shouldn't be posted if there isn't an accompanying recipe?  However, I feel that people will ask for the recipe if they are sufficently interested?  What do others think?
