Hi All, i'm just wondering if the modules section is going to stay as it is or if we're going to have the old fashion gallery2 style. I like the G2 modules sections a lot, much more reliable than the current one and works approximately like an modules store I'm asking this in this forum but feel free to move it somewhere else if this is the wrong place. br, |

I have to say, I've been having no luck figuring out how to use git to install new modules. I managed to use git once to install the main gallery system (and can now do git pull to update) with default modules but the module installation system is... not beginner friendly.
I'd like to see the return of "Gallery 2 Flickr" too...

What i believe what the most friendly, is the automation and the categories for each modules that you can install.

JoeBahr, I have no idea what you're asking. Are you talking about the downloadable plugins in G2 or the pages on the Codex?
davert, git isn't meant to be the end solution for the typical end user. It's a tool for developers and keeping track of changes in the code. G3 is still in development and we haven't yet focused on having something more user friendly to download individual modules and themes, but someone has already created a more user friendly place to download modules: www.gallerymodules.com
This stuff all takes time, but your input is very valuable.

www.gallerymodules.com has the git-based modules available individually for your consumption, along with links to the codex-based modules, as well (i'll be updating the codex modules/themes portions with version info shortly).

Thanks. gallerymodules is a great site BUT git is very useful for end users during this development phase as things keep changing and I find it's best to stay current; git pull saves a LOT of time and effort. I'd like to be able to do that for individual modules and themes but I can't figure out how, for the life of me.
Of course if an interface like WordPress' module-update feature is developed, that would be just as good if not better.
I have to say that before gallerymodules it was ... difficult to find the module download links...

AFAIK, with git you cannot pull a single module as you could w/ CVS or SVN. Besides, the nightly updates on www.gallerymodules.com seem to be more than adequate at staying current. If I see that things are getting a little crazier, I can tweak it to hourly updates.

Hi, for www.gallerymodules.com i would suggest you group them by subjects (ie : video, appearance, remotes, etc...) like it was done in G2 ...
would that be feasible easily for you ?

Unless that information is stored in the module.info file (for the git modules) and in the module template block (for the codex modules), there is no way for me to make that determination.
