Source Code for Graffiti Silverlight Photo Gallery plugin released
A few weeks ago I released a beta version of the Silverlight photo gallery plugin for Graffiti CMS that I have been working on, along with a blog post describing it. I wrote then that:
Once they get tested a little more I'll make any needed changes and re-release it, along with the full source code... They are being released as a beta because I have not had time to fully test every combination of the options.
Since then I have not received much in the way of feedback, so I'll be optimistic and assume everything works splendidly. I have not made any changes since that release either, although there are a few features I would like to add to future versions of the plugin (thumbnail support, reading EXIF info, improved config UI).
Between working on the next version of Graffiti, other plugins and widgets, and of course the new baby, I know it will be slow going in adding those features in. So instead of just releasing a source code drop in a zip file as I usually do for my personal projects, I decided to create a Google Code project for this set of plugins. That way if there are other developers interested in improving the plugins they can do so with relative ease.
I will keep the Slide.Show Photo Gallery Plugin download page on this site updated to point to the latest compiled and source code releases in the project. You can also use SVN (my source control system of choice) to grab the latest code from the project by following the instructions here. If/when you find bugs or have suggestions please use the Issues page in Google Code project. And, although it's probably overkill, I also setup a developer and news mailing list for the project that you can subscribe to if you are interested in participating or following future development.
Even if you have no interest in a Silverlight photo gallery, the source code may be of educational interest if you are considering writing a complex Graffiti plugin.
