Create a Gallery

DustiiWolf · December 13, 2013, 07:36:04 PM

Does anybody know how to create a non-user gallery ~~(such as the "Azure" gallery)~~ in the OSC Main Gallery, or is it even possible?

It's something an admin has to do, unfortunately

DustiiWolf · December 13, 2013, 07:43:19 PM

I see. Then, to the admins, may i suggest, if possible, to make it possible that those with Wiki-Editor abilities to also be able to add galleries.

i thought we had a thread for this, or was it deleted?

either way, that's a thing only an admin can do. they'll get to it but i'm pretty sure there's already a claudia gallery.

I know theres already a claudia gallery, but there wasnt at one time. I was using it as an example (since i was unaware the admins made it). What i'm asking is they add the ability for users with certain privileges or higher to be able to create a gallery. A sort of "Curator" status, to put it one way, (i think).

Last time they tried, the only way to give someone that ability in the gallery was to make them a full-blown site admin; which wasn't that great of a solution. Although, maybe it's now possible to have a Gallery Curator, given all the software upgrades in the past year? We'll have to wait and see :3

Thats what i was thinking. The gallery looks completely different from last year, and with all the software changes, i was curious if its possible to give album creation permissions.

there isn't enough gallery shifts to warrant a change. we had discussed the idea of gallery cleanup, but in the end, I think the admins found it to be too great a responsibility for a user. tbh I agree, since while I love the people at OSC, I don't always trust you guys (about gallery stuff). :\

That's how Choco said, no possibilities to give that kind of possibility easily. Gallery was updated but it's same engine.

However, if there is one person who would make a consensus among members and comes with a design plan, it could be considered.

Chocofreak13 · December 14, 2013, 02:32:00 AM

what do you mean by design plan? a plan of attack for cleaning up the gallery, or literally a design of a new faceplate for the webpage?

That.

the problem here is that I can't see any one person being able to tackle it effectively (it would take months). that lends itself to assigning a team, but then there's the problem of people deleting images solely on bias instead of logic. :\

i'd volunteer, but I couldn't see myself devoting the time needed to it at the moment. i'm too caught up in other things. and as I said before, as much as I love osc, I don't completely trust the people here. the only other people I could see being right for the job would be nej or stew, seeing as how they would get rid of images for being duplicates, not because they don't like them/the content. >>;

Well that would naturally be the only reason to delete images anyways. A -tan is a -tan, so it should be in the gallery. And we have an adult section, so "content" wouldn't be an issue.

I was just asking about creating a gallery since there's ones for Firefox and Chrome but not IE.

Chocofreak13 · December 14, 2013, 10:13:06 PM

it's because IE has never needed one till now. though tbh i'm in favour of merging them all into one "browser" gallery. >>;

also, you say that, but I remember some of my fellow OSCers saying they wouldn't save and upload a certain picture just because of its content.

if it contains OS-tans, we must document it.

I would agree that a wide Browser gallery is probably the best route to choose here.
