New plugin approved (iOS): The Thumb Viewer Plugin

Hi everyone, I'm proud to announce the release of The Thumb Viewer Plugin. The Thumb Viewer Plugin is an image gallery plugin. It shows all the images in small tiles (thumbviews) and clicking on one of the tiles, it will show you the enlarged version of the image. The enlarged image will give you some options: - mail the image - save the image on your device - show extra info about the image Before you create an image album you have to: - Decide whether you are going to use local or network images. - Give the album a nice title - Write some additional information about this album to clarify what the images are about. Each image has: - a url (local or external) - title - description Get the Manual (and be sure to read it!) here: http://www.bt-addons.com/the-plugins/the-thumb-viewer-plugin.html Get the plugin here: https://www.buzztouch.com/plugins/plugin.php?pid=2520D44D9DC91FD5414B3C8 wish you all a lot of fun with this plugin and feel free to ask questions if there are!! Best Regards, Danny

Thanks guys, @mysps No it will not work with the flickr json at this moment. There is some code in it but I haven't tested it. I also read an article a while ago that flickr doesn't allow some things anymore (can't remember what anymore). I'll have to investigate this more and it's something maybe for a future update. Best Regards, Danny

Great work PSMDanny. Is there anyone you reccomend to host images for thsi plugin, as you say Dropbox is not the best option regarding bandwidth. Also are there plans for being able to share via FBa nd Twiter directly from the pugin?

Hi Kaybee, I've send this to a pm: Hi Kaybee, I noticed your review on this plugin. I hope you have lots of fun with it. Your comment on the facebook and twitter integration: I don't know if you have seen the latest webinar where David explained some things about Facebook integration. Facebook integration isn't as simple as it looks (also for the end-user). That's one of the reasons why I didn't include it: keep it simple (althought there are a lot of parameters to set). If you are looking for this kind of integration see if you can integrate getsocialize.com or scringo. I'm planning to write some tutorial for this plugin but it could take a while (lots todo). Hope this helps. Best Regards, Danny @smug: Thanks!!

@kaybee, realizing I didn't respond to your question regarding bandwidh! See this thread: http://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?fid=64656B310BE0AA4B6C40414&tid=64656B310BE0AA4B6C40414 I can't advise since I run my own servers at a local company in the Netherlands. Remember that bandwidth costs money and that free, in the end, is not free. But thanks for reading the manual (so closely). Hope this helps also. Best Regards, Danny

Is there a way to bypass the Album info view? I'd like to go straight into thumbnail view from the Main Menu... Also, there are typos I saw when you save an image to the camera roll. "Succes! The image was saved succesfully on the device!" Success & Successfully are misspelled. Thanks again!

Hi Ryan, Thanks for your kind words. Sorry to say that for the moment no Android version is planned and that you can't bypass the album info view without a doing lot of coding. Good notice about the typo. You are absolutely right. I Corrected this for a future update. You can edit those yourself. Have a look at FGalleryViewController.m at line 466 and 467 Hope this helps. Best Regards, Danny

Hi Danny, Nice plugin. But I tought it was going to work like the regular Image Gallery + thumb viewer. Is there anyway to hide the "Album Description" screen and go straight to the album itself? Thanks.

Hi Tony, Just like I responded 2 posts before: "you can't bypass the album info view without a doing lot of coding" There is a reason behind this: Because all the images gets loaded on the fly, and thus use bandwith, now a user can decide (based on the number of images) if they want to see the images right away or wait until they are somewhere with a wifi connection. Next to this does the Album description page add some value and design to your users. I know it's not suitable for everyone but, based on the reactions I get, 99% of the users really appreciate this feature. Hope this explains. Best Regards, Danny PS so it's actually more than just Image Gallery + thumb viewer

Hey Danny, It is indeed a great feature, and I appreciate it a lot. But right now I'm working on a particular project that falls in that 1% you mentioned. I will try to tweak the code a little bit and see if I can come up with something. But anyway, nice plugin and although it doesn't work exactly like I thought it was going to I'm really satisfied with it and I'll probably use it a bunch of other projects! :)
