Image Galery
-
@Jeff the font-awesome.css is located in the vendor directory of MagicMirror

@Jeff
I tried the method, it does not always work. He must have a simpler method to enlarge these photos on the mirror. -
@fragator
When does it mot work?
Always the same picture? -
@Jeff
Yes, I just do it at the moment, always the same image size. -
This is exactly what I am currently developing, loading random photos from a directory. For my personal use I want additional info about the photo, which I have done by using subdirectories. Last directory is the name who took the photo, the rest is the ‘album’.
For example folder structure:
photos\Vacation\Cuba - 2013\Dave
photos\Vacation\Cuba - 2013\Erik
photos\Vacation\Egypt - 2012\DaveThis displays Vacation\Cuba - 2013 as album and Dave as person who took the photo. I am also trying to get the timestamp from the photo but not sure it works yet. I am going to make it an option to show extra photo information.
Anybody still interested? I can do an early release in the near future.

Yes of course. And thank you in advance for sharing.

Hi, that’s what I’m looking for. I’m highly interested on your module. Good speed - I’m looking forward to try it within my installation. -
I would love to see a simple offline(or network share) image gallery. Thank you for your effort!
-
Next week I have some time to work on this,I’ll post a link to the repo here. If you have any request about features post them here for now,will make my own topic in the future.

Take all the time you need, since this is you doing all the work.
I am no good in coding although I learned some coding years ago I feel a bit ashamed I don’t contribute (well I found a Bug in MM 1 once and was happy to give Michael the hint).I call it ideas - not requests because I am grateful for anything:
I would love to see an option to configure when the picture will change. Not based on the uptime of the mirror + x seconds.
More like based on the clock[daily, full hour, every x minute, every x seconds],
Probably even a scheduler for different folders/albums (ie. weekdays folder/album A , weekends folder/album B )option to scale
option to include/exclude subfolders
I don’t know how this is handled but pre buffering the images would probably be a good idea due to the use of network shares.
Imagine your mirror would always access your NAS(my mirror is an always on device) the drives of the NAS won’t go into sleep mode.
A regular wipe of the buffer would be required so your mirror won’t run into memory problems.
therefore an option to configure buffer size and/or a configurable time to wipe the buffera local fallback folder(probably a standard subfolder of the module) when other sources are offline.
option to configure different animations how the pictures change
Again, these a just ideas, not requests!
I hope I will have some time around christmas to upgrade to MM2 - there are so many nice modules around and I know yours will be one of my favs.Regards & happy coding
