GAP.com new style galleries
« on: August 10, 2013, 05:57:15 AM »
One of the issues with the galleries I used for GolfArchitecturePictures.com was that they were in Flash, which meant that they could not be viewed (easily) on IOS devices.

I have now made the plunge to update the galleries to HTML5 which will allow for that, but before I start changing all the galleries I would like to ask you on this site to test drive the new template.

It looks like this:



Changes to the old style are:

- you can navigate to next or previous picture by using the arrows or by clicking right or left side of the picture
- when you hoover over the thumbnails the main picture will change to the thumbnail you are hovering over
- you can switch on/off the thumbnails by clicking on the left most button
- you can open the picture in a seperate window by clicking on the second left most button. This also gives you the address which you can use to post the picture in a post on GCA
- you can make the slide show play automatically (play triangle)
- you can use the Faceboo, Twitter, Google+, Pintrest and  Tumblr buttons to post the picture to those sites

You can test drive a trial gallery at:

Let me know what you think.

I like the new set-up. You can (on a PC at least) use the horizontal toggle arrows to move from picture one to picture final without problem. Interesting, though, is that the vertical arrows will not allow you to skip entire rows (they don't work.)

AND, as Joe mentions below, there is a nifty menu bar in the upper right, that allows you to share images and take other actions.

Just took a test spin on my iPad.  I like it.  Although it did take me a few seconds to find the button to show just the picture w/o the previews.

Us Apple fans are thrilled anytime a site can get away from Flash.   :)

Guys,

thanks, if I don't get any other responses in the next few days I will continue a gradual roll out with this new setup.

I'm having a little trouble with resolution on my Commodore 64.
No actual golf rounds were ruined or delayed, nor golf rules broken, in the taking of any photographs that may be displayed by the above forum user.

A little late for feedback, but this new version works great.
