Browse Photo Album With Cooliris
They say the squeaky wheel gets the oil. So I am trying to draw attention to a super neat interface for browsing through photos. I know I have mentioned this elsewhere in someone's blog comments, but I think it is worth drawing more attention by giving it its own post here.
I am talking about Cooliris.com. I have been using
http://cooliris.com/ for a while now (when it was still called
PicLens.com). It is a browser plugin that I use on both IE and Firefox.
It allows you to browse through an album of pictures using a really
nice interface. Some sites work really great with it. For example, when
I do a Google image search, I use it to browse the image results.
Because they provide an API for using this interface with any RSS feed,
I was wondering if Boonex could read up on it to see what it would take
to get this really neat plugin to work on Dolphin photo albums.
By "offloading" the work involved to produce a neat photo viewer to
CoolIris, Boonex could concentrate on other things and make the users
really happy with the CoolIris interface. They are always steadily
improving the interface.
Otherwise, perhaps someone at Expertzzz can write a plugin that would make it really easy for someone to integrate Cooliris with their existing Dolphin 6 and with the new 7. I searched Expertzzz.com but could not find anyone who has done this integration before.
The new Dolphin solution is powered by UNA Community Management System.
Here are two photo album sites that use it. Once you install Cooliris you can browse their albums with it.

Even Google image search uses it!
I am very curious as to why you think Boonex should not use it.
Your idea is a good one!

I have a feeling it has nothing to do with the post, they just like the mystery kick. They may not even read the posts.
Those who have a thing to dislike usually say why they disagree.
The idea of exporting some tasks to a boonex-offered plug in option is not bad. I like it when it's something the developers set up ahead instead of after market 3rd party plugins.
I totally agree. I don't understand why the thumbs down. I found this post useful.
Point taken.
Thanks for clarifying that.
As for houstonlively's photo gallery post, I need to take a look at that a bit more. It would be great to have a gallery that has privacy settings built-in.
as buck said, his 1st few posts where just spam and others are not really worth reading like the "prove the speed" if he read the posts boonex made he would know that boonex want to get everything in place and they hire mysql and another company to go over the code to enhance it and speed it up.
thats after everything is in place. so what was the point of his speed post?
Anyway, I guess what Cooliris offers is second-nature to some folks around here. For those of you who think Cooliris is cool, I'm with you on that.
