Views with all uploaded images
alx opened this issue · comments
Hi,
Back again :) I'd like to display all uploaded images, ala imgur, and then implement specific galleries, but one step after another :)
How would you implement that? Would a db be necessary or is it possible to do without?
Thanks,
Alex
If you want to avoid using a database, I guess you could organize the different galleries within folders on the file system and have a script that loops through and displays them.
May I ask what you are planning to use this for?
I'm probably going to implement user accounts into Pasteboard sooner or later so that users have a chance to manage their images. I'd love to hear if you have some features that you'd like to see within that since you're already building functions for displaying galleries etc, which might be something you'd be able to do as a user on the publically hosted app (i.e. http://pasteboard.co) once I've added accounts.
I'm looking for an self-hosted open-source alternative to imgur, it probably already exists somewhere but I find your current solution elegant as I'm learning to use nodejs :)
Thanks for the tip, I'll have a look at the folder classification.
Alright, that's cool. You should be able to use the code from Pasteboard as your base, even though my plan with the project is for it to not be a self-hosted kind of thing, but a service / web app that's available for everyone to use at http://pasteboard.co.
The reason I'm keeping this project open source (for now) is for other people to learn from it. The instructions for setting it up locally are there for developers to be able to fiddle around with the code and maybe help out with fixing some bugs, not necessarily for self-hosting their own version of it for personal use.
You are however free to do that, if that's what you want, I'm just letting you know that this won't be direction that I'll be taking the project with future updates.
