BP Album+ || New Features Requests and Discussion
-
If you need a free image gallery or photo album for BuddyPress, BP Album+ is probably the plugin you’re looking for. BP Album+ adds instant, FaceBook style photo albums to all of your user’s profiles.
You can always get the most up-to-date version from the WordPress plugin repository at this link:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-album/
Or, if you like living on the bleeding-edge of BuddyPress development, you can get the latest beta here:

======
This forum thread is for discussing new features the community would like to see in future releases of the BP Album+ plugin.
All ideas are welcome, no matter how crazy, bandwidth-intensive, or strange …but the final call on what goes into the plugin and when will be made by the development team.
Photos and user interfaces are a uniquely “visual” thing, so when posting an idea to this thread, please try to include a LINK to a website that’s doing the thing you want included in the plugin. For original functions that don’t exist *anywhere* yet, draw a sketch of your idea in a paint program and post a link to the image.
This will make it much easier for users that don’t speak English to understand your idea.
So, Let’s get started!

GSoC acceptance is very good because I can use more of my time for coding, btw the GSoC project is not related only to this plugin but also to a new moderation component ( you can read more here http://flweb.it/2010/04/google-summer-of-code-project-media-component-and-moderation-for-buddypress/ )
I’ll post more detailed information on the project when roadmap/milestones are defined with mentors (Boone Gorges & Andy Peatling).
GSoC timeline provides some weeks of community bonding before start coding the project (that obviusly doesn’t mean that I am not coding at all, we are working on other features)
New buddypress.org site focus much more on groups, expecially for plugins, so I’ll create two groups, one for BP Album+ and one for the new plugin (I think it’s going to be called BuddyPress Moderation, if you have a better name you can suggest
) where you can read updates, give feedback, etc.
As someone suggested having only one huge thread make difficult to follow all the topics, so having a group should make it easier and it’s more social too. ( @foxly I’ll add you as bp-album group admin as soon as it’s created).on bp-album in the core: this plugin will not be merged in the core, bp needs to be used in any type of community so it has to be no-frills, btw 1.3 will have a page in the setup with plugin suggestions so important features that are not in the core can easily be added.
on mobile support: I think first step is to make bp mobile friendly then plugins will follow the core example. I mean that core protocol with support for plugins is much more better then each plugin with it’s own protocol.
@francescolaffi uploading pics from mobile is pretty standard, whether it’s just an email address they get sent to, that would be quite helpful. People take pics on their cell phones now, why not be able to upload them on location? Viewing them on a cell is a dif story.
My main question is:
What features does Gallery have that BPAlbum+ is not planning on developing over the next two months?Also, @techguy strongly agree with this, group albums totally critical here
