Photo Album Presentation plug-in replaces Soholaunch's built in photo album presentation modules ("show all albums" and "show selected album".) Photo albums administrative process remains the same, but photo albums are presented on pages in the manner as in this live demo:
Mouse over the left or the right arrow on either side of the thumbnail gallery on the bottom scrolling thumbnail images. Clicking on a thumbnail displays the image on the large preview pane.
Photo Albums Presentation plug-in performs the following behind the scenes:
Just like the built in Soho Photo Albums, images can be different sizes and aspect ratios.
When a given album is displayed for the first time, all images are resized and saved to 400px being the larger of the width and height for subsequent display.
Likewise, all thumbnail images are created and saved.
Make sure that you are running 4.9 r43 or later.
This add-on will not function properly on any version earilier than 4.9 r43.
How to find out what version you're running
Log-in to manage your website with Pro Edition (i.e. http://example.com/sohoadmin)
and look in the bottom right corner of the admin tool window (ie. in the footer).
How to update your version
If you're running v4.8.x or earlier than you've got to first update to v4.9 via Fantastico.
Once you're on v4.9 you can update to the latest build using v4.9's built-in Software Updates feature (Main Menu > Webmaster > Software Updates).
The plugin works wonderfully! I created a password protected upload area which members can upload photos. From that point, they can upload the members photos directly to the gallery. A very nice addition to the site.
