I am very happy to inform everyone that the Ajax Photo Album User Interface has been committed to OpenACS CVS.

Following the design pattern we used on Ajax File Storage UI, the Ajax Photo Album UI creates an ajax powered user interface on top of the photo album package using the principle of graceful degradation. Using the ExtJs and Shadowbox javascript libraries, AjaxPA UI v0.1d has the following features :

• The ability to navigate folders and albums using a dhtml tree panel.
• The ability to add, edit and delete folders and albums.
• Move folders and albums using drag and drop on the tree panel.
• Move photos from one album to another using drag and drop.
• Paging support for thumbnailed images.
• Uploading a zip file of photos or one photo at a time.
• Image preview using Shadowbox Media Viewer javacript library.

Interested to try it out ? Grab the code from OpenACS and install the package on your OpenACS instance.

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.openacs.org:/cvsroot co openacs-4/packages/ajax-photoalbum-ui

After installing the package, go to /doc/ (the documentation page for your openacs intall) and click "Ajax Photo Album UI" to view documentation on what you need to do to get the Ui to work with the Photo Album package.
