Congrats to MacApple on the new image gallery plugin for iOS!

The title says it all ... get downloading and try it out. Another plugin for buzztouch (iOS only)! http://www.buzztouch.com/plugins/plugin.php?pid=EB6FD85F45591F795E530D0 Well done Mac Apple :))

Hi thanks buddy! The image gallery is a key component of so many apps it's important to have this migrated across to Server. I know without this many of my apps would be less interactive and this in fact is the central driving force - sharing - of a few. David is the man of course and the reason we all have this truly wonderful platform and without him none of this would have been possible. I have to say I did get some help from a talented coding ninja friend and hopefully he can assist with getting the Android version up and running sometime. For the sake of keeping forum clean if anyone has any issues with the plugin, need to chat or have feature suggestions you can do so here: http://www.buzztouch.com/plugins/discussions.php?pid=EB6FD85F45591F795E530D0 Thanks again @ictguy, hope it brings you some success and fun!

@macapple it isn't possible to post a message in the plugin discussion page unless you have purchased so enquiring possibly new customers don't exactly have a chance to ask a question unless it's made in the general forum. Which leads to my question The description of the macapple image gallery says its improved from 1.5 so does it include Flickr usage in the dataurl like before? thanks and good luck with sales

The plugin really looks awesome. I am sure most of the iOs developers would like this plugin and also am sure that most of us have been looking such a plugin for a long time. I know few cases where apps got rejected because of no native image gallery. This plugin will save such a bad experience. Thanks a lot MacApple. I too am looking for this plugin to support the android version and hope the wait is not too long.

Nice work. Great to have an official photo gallery with some BT support now for 2.0. Def needed. Big Thanks. Looks like it has everything in the one I was working on, so I can shelve mine and go work on something else now! Thanks!

@PSMDanny cheers my good man! @ATRAIN53 - brother..... Something I have tried to replicate a few times (with zero success) is the interface on the official BBC news app. Have a peek at it. Not making a plugin per se, just trying to copy the navigation. Have a look for it in app store, solid stuff.

That BBC page - it looks like a bunch of individual UIViews with an image and a title subview. I think that might be similar to the blog plugin and how danny builds those screens using views and subviews? For sure the subview image/title is parsed from some backend. It looks like d clicking on the story brings up detail view then. Would be a fair amount of coding to get that working. You'd need a good parser integrated to strip out the image and the headline detail text you want (and limiting the characters). Then a new view controller to display in the detail view. I've looked at a handful of feed parsers of late to find one to display thumbnails. Even the great Wenderlich tutorials are sans image. Lots of folks out there are trying to get the image element to display in a parsed feed, myself being one of them :)

@ATRAIN53 IMO You could heavily modify the buttons menu plugin to achieve that, the structure has already been coded looks like :) Cheers, David buzztouchmods.com
