Hello Webdoc,
I’m glad to hear that you keep asking about wpg3. Maybe you can kick on the work again. The latest Version of wpg2 (0.86.2) is hosted on git. It has a lot more features than the wp-hosted one (e.g. a template system which enables you to provide different galley Templates while inserting the image).
The reason why I didn’t deploy yet is that I didn’t had time to figure out a better caching mechanism for the Gallery-Page yet. The most issues around in the forum are based on the fact, that if you login to the backend, the whole gallery installation is recached (by REST) in order to recreate permalinks. This can take a lot of time or even timeouts, so testers experienced problems while accessing backend, especially with large gallery installations.
I was hoping for improvements to REST-Api by the gallery3 during their atlanta conference. It would be great to het all permalinks in on request from g3, but it didn’t happen. So there is need for a separate g3 module delivering this or a smart solution for the wpg3 plugin to update caches.
If you or anyone else can spend some time
- checkout the git version
- teach me about smart caching
- checkout the themeing and put some css/jquery love int othe themes
If you have questions let me know.
