COMPONENT REQUESTS

HOW IT WORKS

The LiveSite development team is continually working on component development and we'd like to get input from you on what we need to build next.

If you've got some ideas, please read HOW TO REQUEST A COMPONENT below. All properly formatted and complete requests will be reviewed by the LiveSite develpoment team when scoping each release vehicle i.e. patch or full release.

If you've got some code to share, please be sure to include it in a code block or attach the source files to the post.

Thanks in advance for your ideas !

  Image Gallery
  
  
  
• DESCRIPTION:
  
  The Image Gallery component is able to read a set of images from either (a) a given directory e.g. images/gallery/2007/05 or (b) the database via querying all content tagged to a specific metadata property.
  
  
  
• REFERENCES:
  
  The Image Gallery is similar to the post by rstaples on 05/1/2007 where he talks about displaying multiple Images at once in a component via a replicant. This version is more dynamic.
