Components
collective.gallery use zope.components to provide as much reusable as possible components.
First we have photo resources. Plone already manage this for you:
- Folder and Large Plone Folder can contains Image
- Topic can be criterized to list only Image
- Link can be sources of photos throw picasaweb.google.com and flickr.com services.
Next you have the business component: IGallery. This interface is implemented at two levels:
- As named adapter over IATLink to get photos from picasaweb or flickr.
- As browserview to control the resource (@@gallery)
The picasaweb and flickr services let you embed a flash slideshow to display your photos. Views are already available to use those services:
- @@gallery-picasaweb-slideshow
- @@gallery-flickr-slideshow
But they are not integrated in the Plone UI.
