Hi,

currently I'm migrating from the big and slow Coppermine to the slick and fast Plogger gallery. I've created an ajax interface (with Adobe Spry) for those, who have a Javascript capable browser. Have a look at http://www.akkordeon-spielring.de/galerie.xhtml .
Unfortunately, the site is only available in German.

Greetings, Kastor

Mmmmm, Ajax. This is pretty slick kastor. I have to say the thumbnail zooming animations are a little too choppy for my liking (under WinXP, FF1.5). But the rest of it is awesome, I especially like the details/comment accordian sidebar.

Is this a complete front-end rewrite using the Plogger database, or is it a hack? The new version of Plogger has a complete XML and theme engine that would make this a bit easier (once it is released of course =)...

Hi mike,

if you use the Internet Explorer to view the site (I personally use FF2.0), the animations aren't choppy anymore. It seems, the javascript interpreter is pretty good implemented in respect to the others. I think of resizing the thumbnails, but now I'd like to see what the users say...

As you said, this is a complete front-end rewriting, but in the background, I'm using the Plogger admin tool and the default gallery display is still available.
I wrote a Spry page and some little php scripts for the data (xml) generation. Great to see a new version upcoming, especially with a xml generator.

Greetings, Kastor

Looks ok, although I prefer a 'standard' installation because it's faster and straight forward. Also I think the thumbs are a bit too small ;). And it's choppy here as well (Firefox 1.5 and WinXP).
FF2.0??? Is that a beta? I can't find it anywhere.
