Description:

A set of Graffiti CMS plugins that render a Silverlight photo gallery on a post page. They use the the open source Slide.Show Silverlight photo gallery control.

Versions:

Version 1.2

This is the most current version. Uses a slightly customized version of the improved Slide.Show2 control. Slide.Show2 is written in 100% managed code using Silverlight 2.0 and deployed as a XAB file. It requires Graffiti CMS 1.1 or above.

This version currently contains two photo gallery plugins. The difference is in where they get the photos from:

  1. Slide.Show Photo Gallery Plugin - This plugin looks for photos in folders on the web server.
  2. Flickr Slide.Show Photo Gallery Plugin - This plugin uses the Flickr API to retrieve photos from a user account on Flickr. Flickr sets are displayed as albums in the gallery.

Download Graffiti.Slide.Show 1.2

Version 1.1

This is a minor update of the original Graffiti.Slide.Show release for those who do not want to move to 1.2. It updates Slide.Show control with several fixes including support for Silverlight 2.0, FireFox 3.0, and the Flickr provider. In this version, the Silverlight code is deployed as JavaScript which will work on every web server (not all shared hosting servers are configured correctly for the newer XAB files).

Version 1.1 also includes an additional (third) plugin: the Picasa Slide.Show Photo Gallery Plugin. The Picasa plugin uses the Picasa API to retrieve photos from a user account on Google Picasa Web Albums. Picasa support has not yet been added to the newer 1.2 version, so anyone using Picasa should update to v1.1.

Download Graffiti.Slide.Show 1.1

Version 1.0.1.1

This initial version was released in April 2008 and used Silverlight 1.0. Anyone using Graffiti.Slide.Show v1.0.1.1 should upgrade the plugin to v1.1 or v1.2.

The Road Ahead:

  • I'd like to have the folder-based plugin read title/description/date from the EXIF info embedded in some image files. Built-in support for reading EXIF was added to the .NET 3.5 framework, but I would probably need to use a third party library to make the plugin .NET 2.0 compatible. I'm considering offering two versions/downloads of the project - one for .NET 2.0 and an improved version for folk able to run their sites on a server with .NET 3.5 installed.
  • Update the v1.2 plugin to support Picasa (and possibly other providers) once support is added to Slide.Show2.
