5 [G2] Flickr Style Tags/Virtual Albums - ID: 1204624

Last Update: Comment added ( mindless )

Details:

From http://www.flickr.com/help.gne#37:

"Tags are like keywords or labels that you can add to a
photo to make it easier to find later. You can tag a
photo with tags like "catherine yosemite hiking
mountain trail" and then later on if you are looking
for pictures of Catherine you can just click on that
tag and get all photos that have been tagged that way."

Basically that lets you do http://example.com/<tag> and
it makes a search (mod_rewrite rule?) based on the
content of <tag>. This allows people to quickly search
your gallery for any images, based on a simple url with
a keyword.

Date: 2006-08-04 17:26 Sender: mindless Logged In: YES user_id=70034 I am closing this feature request. G2 now supports dynamic albums and the Keyword Albums module does provide a way to use this feature with simple urls like gallery2/key/yosemite etc, as described in the description of this feature request. I'm sure there are more things people will want from dynamic albums, but I think it's better to file new requests with specific details rather than collect all those ideas here in a single request. Hope you all enjoy this new feature!
Date: 2006-08-03 15:10 Sender: mindless Logged In: YES user_id=70034 Try "Edit Captions" to edit keywords. Use KeywordAlbum.inc as an example and you can make any dynamic album you like!
Date: 2006-08-03 07:25 Sender: nobody Logged In: NO I like the first Implementation - I already have some ideas: - a bulk keyword editor (for those who were lazy maintaining keywords in the past ;)) - an extension to use ratings as "keywords" - display all 5-star items in a virtual album would be great Many Thanks for all the efforts done so far !!

Date: 2006-07-27 03:34 Sender: legoguy Logged In: YES user_id=830119 I would like to note here that Windows Vista's new Windows Photo Gallery supports this form of tagging -- very useful indeed -- and it stores the tagging info for each file in its EXIF information under the keys "Xmpmeta Subject" and "Xmpmeta Last Keyword XMP". For instance, I have an image that depicts two of my pet birds, Petey and Chrissy, and have it tagged as follows: Xmpmeta Subject : pets/birds/Petey Xmpmeta Subject : pets/birds/Chrissy Xmpmeta Last Keyword XMP : pets/birds/Petey Xmpmeta Last Keyword XMP : pets/birds/Chrissy This is kind of a tree of tags. pets/ contains birds/ and cocoa/ (my dog) and under birds/ is Petey, Chrissy and Peaches. Selecting Pets in the Windows Gallery shows all items under it regardless of if they have the actual single pets tag assigned, as long as something under pets is assigned. Likewise selecting only Petey shows only the pictures containing the bright yellow and green parakeet bearing that name. What I am suggesting here, for compatability, is that it be designed to, upon import, create any tags found in these Xmpmeta tags. Essentially, use what the EXIF data tells us instead of importing it cluelessly. Since I've tagged most of my rather large amount of photos with Windows Gallery recently it would save a lot of time once this feature is in Gallery.

Date: 2006-07-18 18:39 Sender: nobody Logged In: NO Yes, this is a must have feature! Smart Albums are a must! Being able to create albums on the fly, nothing for administrators or users to do, simply uploading pictures and tagging them appropriately would get them "added" to the album. Think Smart Playlists in iTunes.
Date: 2006-06-30 13:12 Sender: abarroche Logged In: YES user_id=1484906 Someone says : "Tags would let me solve so many organizational problems, in so many different ways." For me too !! It would be great !
Date: 2006-06-26 12:41 Sender: nobody Logged In: NO Maybe these virtual albums can also be useful for users? Means: You click on a user name and then all all of his uploads are listed like albums (instead of a plain list like it's done in the Members module), sorted by Albums and/or by newest uploads.
Date: 2006-06-16 18:47 Sender: nobody Logged In: NO Tags are useful
Date: 2006-06-10 11:21 Sender: entrailer Logged In: YES user_id=1537415 Tags are a must. really.
Date: 2006-06-07 12:42 Sender: nobody Logged In: NO I think this should have a priority of 9! We absolutely need this feature in order to keep using Gallery! I don't want to switch to an online hosted service...
Date: 2006-06-07 01:54 Sender: nobody Logged In: NO I think this is the single most important feature that would make Gallery the best product in the landscape.
Date: 2006-05-30 15:00 Sender: nobody Logged In: NO My number one request by miles. Being able to put the same image with its associated database infomation in multiple virtual folders/categories (like Flickr sets) would be incredibly useful. As it is, having 3 versions of the same image with different views, comments etc, in different categories (eg France, Landscapes, Most Popular) is a real pain and extremely inefficient. Normalising (ie not duplicating) data is a basic principle of databases and is what relational databases are good at, after all! I love Gallery2 and if this feature is implemented I will definitely port over another of my community gallery sites from Coppermine, which is also hobbled in this way. Keep up the good work!
Date: 2006-05-23 19:24 Sender: nobody Logged In: NO This is absolutely my top feature request.
Date: 2006-05-23 05:40 Sender: nobody Logged In: NO Great Feature. I would love the ability to be able to create a list ov tags to choose from as well as to add new tags. Would be nice if the tags could be added to the keywords of the fotos Metadata (is it calles EXIF?). So the work of tagging pictures is not lost if the Pictures are extracted from the Album. And already tagged (with keywords) Pictures from Adobe Bridge ould be seemlesly integrated in a gallery and vice versa. Thanks for the work on Gallery!
Date: 2006-05-17 20:46 Sender: sanbeiji Logged In: YES user_id=307360 This is my top feature request.
Date: 2006-05-08 09:23 Sender: nobody Logged In: NO Yes. Really a must have!
Date: 2006-05-03 20:53 Sender: michaelfavia Logged In: YES user_id=1430852 While i think that the introduction of some type of taxonomical system is desirable i would like to suggest one that allows for a slightly higher degree of structure. Allowing admins to create multiple "vocabulary sets" that define different aspects of the "entity" in an optionally hierarchical fashion. A few common examples of what users might make for vocabs: Who (subject): -Family --Michael --Kate --kari -Friends --Ayed What: -Holidays --Thanksgiving --4th of July Where -US --Texas ---Austin --Hawaii ---Maui When (skimmed from EXIF): Year -Month --Day As you can see you'd assign multiple vocabs to a single item defining it more clearly with each aspect you tag. Locating untagged items in each vocab would be easy too. The tags could also be unstructured flicker like folksonomies if desired with no ill effect. I would suggest abstracting out the storage mechanism from the gallery album organization at this level though because the tags (or unions of tags) will substitute most gallery requirements. for example you can select the union of Easter pictures from 2006 with family in them and "alias" that union as a "virtual album". That way you can store the gallery items in the most efficient method for file storage/retrieval as well. I spoke with bharat a while back about using modified preordered tree traversal to achieve the hierarchical taxonomy goal and i have also researched Drupals implementation of a similar scheme withttheir new "category" modules for the 4.7 branch. -mf
Date: 2006-04-23 23:19 Sender: nobody Logged In: NO Yes Please.
Date: 2006-04-21 01:30 Sender: nobody Logged In: NO You might want to check out http://www.getluky.net/freetag/ which is a php&mysql object oriented tagging system. It will probably save whoever creates this feature a hell of a lot of time!
Date: 2006-04-15 08:13 Sender: nobody Logged In: NO YES today a must feature.
Date: 2006-04-09 06:16 Sender: nobody Logged In: NO yes this is like so keeping gallery 2 from completly replacing flickr on my site!
Date: 2006-03-30 16:36 Sender: pebenito Logged In: YES user_id=1245129 Vote yes
Date: 2006-03-20 00:14 Sender: nobody Logged In: NO sounds like a great idea!
Date: 2006-03-06 02:22 Sender: nobody Logged In: NO YES PLZ!
Date: 2006-02-24 22:29 Sender: nobody Logged In: NO Another vote. Tags would let me solve so many organizational problems, in so many different ways. This would make my life so much easier!
Date: 2006-02-24 16:32 Sender: nkaiser Logged In: YES user_id=147883 What's the current state of Care2's module backport? http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php? msg_id=12601674
Date: 2006-02-04 00:53 Sender: nobody Logged In: NO Definitely would be awesome
Date: 2006-02-03 18:11 Sender: azium Logged In: YES user_id=1014248 G2 is fantastic, but the ability to TAG is at the top of my wish list.
Date: 2006-01-30 05:39 Sender: nobody Logged In: NO This is would be a killer addition. Flickr is hot not only from a general user stand point but it's defining the idea of "Folksonomy" in a big way. Meta Data is huge. This feature would make G2 on the cutting edge of DAM systems putting a head of commercial software.
Date: 2006-01-10 20:18 Sender: nobody Logged In: NO This is the make or break feature for me - all I require is tagging of images by an administrator, and the ability to assign a tag to a set of uploaded images.
Date: 2006-01-06 22:54 Sender: mrhsean Logged In: YES user_id=1421359 another vote!
Date: 2005-12-31 09:40 Sender: ehmke Logged In: YES user_id=40414 Hi, I also would like to vote for this. I am using digikam on linux using these kind of tagging scheme. It would be great to have this also in gallery2 to be able to import these tags somehow from digikam. Martin
Date: 2005-12-04 13:20 Sender: nobody Logged In: NO What about tag's import from IPTC?
Date: 2005-12-03 13:02 Sender: jgb6534 Logged In: YES user_id=707169 Here's another, educational use that tags could serve: an illustrated glossary. Let's say you have a list of terms that can be matched with images that illustrate them. For example, you could have terms for different types of rock formations. When users call up the term, they are shown all the images that are tagged with that term. If they then go to one of those images, thumbnails could show all the other images that have been similarly tagged. Or, in a classroom situation, a set of images could be tagged for a specific class. When the instructor calls up that tag, he/she would be shown all the images in that set and could use them in, say, a lecture. Perhaps, the option of running them in a slide show would be helpful. I don't know if this would be possible, but to add to the usefulness of tags, it would be great if you could have users rate the appropriateness of the tag. That way, a general consensus could build about the usefulness of a particular image to be tagged a particular way. In any event, Flickr-style tags are a terrific idea.
Date: 2005-11-11 16:31 Sender: tomgardner Logged In: YES user_id=1377152 I also would like to see this. Flickr is a good example. E.g. I want a single file of a Scottish Black and White Landscape to appear in the 'Scotland', B&W', and 'Landscape' albums without having to duplicate the image.
Date: 2005-11-06 23:56 Sender: nobody Logged In: NO This is a HIGHLY DESIRABLE function and is something that I would swap ANY SIZED gallery program to get. I have wanted this for years and am excited that at last it might become a possibility. This is my most desired feature. Rob.
Date: 2005-10-27 21:26 Sender: harleykin Logged In: YES user_id=1365007 very important, but would be greater with a bulk-tagging too
Date: 2005-10-26 21:21 Sender: horsepunchkid Logged In: YES user_id=1359842 If this is implemented, a simple set of tag set operations (intersection, union, negation) should also be implemented (a la del.icio.us, only more complete). I think it would be relatively trivial to specify and code, and I would be happy to help hack on it.
Date: 2005-10-10 12:40 Sender: nobody Logged In: NO This could be an upgrade / include the function of the updates module \\Gb750fs01\inetdata\CSGWebDocs\DocumentStore\datasheets Paul
Date: 2005-10-02 17:48 Sender: ckdake Logged In: YES user_id=978504 Adding on one more: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1310355&group_id=7130&atid=357130 basically "new items" into a virtual album. same concept and fairly similiar implementation im thinking...
Date: 2005-10-02 17:43 Sender: ckdake Logged In: YES user_id=978504 Closing another one: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=357130&aid=1246780&group_id=7130 key differences include allowing all searchable data such as exif tags, etc
Date: 2005-09-23 11:34 Sender: ckdake Logged In: YES user_id=978504 Closing other one. heres the text: I'd like to see "smart albums" implemented. This would allow you to have an album that would "capture" photos based on keywords, exif data, filename, or other photo parameters, without having to manually add/move photos to multiple albums. For instance, let's say I collect and photograph widgets and I have the following albums on my site: Latest widgets (last 7 days) Shiny widgets Dull widgets I want to be able to upload all of my new widget photos to latest widgets album, then have gallery automatically populate the "shiny" and "dull" albums with photos that have those keywords in them. I'd also want the "latest" album to release the photos after X number of days, in this case 7.
Date: 2005-09-23 11:21 Sender: mgeisler Logged In: YES user_id=1264592 This seems to be related to the idea of "smart albums" presented here: http://sf.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1191663&group_id=7130&atid=357130
Date: 2005-08-01 14:50 Sender: nobody Logged In: NO Hi I would like add my vote for this type of function
Date: 2005-05-22 10:57 Sender: dcau Logged In: YES user_id=1202710 We could make URL Rewrite patterns for the Search module. Eg, /gallery2/search/bleh would show the search result for 'bleh'.
