  (BTW: There's no search box for me in lighthouse, so I apologize if this has already been entered)

  No worries. Click on the 'magnifying glass' icon in the upper right side of the menu bar to get a search box.

  I agree the photo album is a must !

  However it can be extended to other media. For example PDF, Word document, application skins and so on.

  user has simple to provide a preview image and if the uploaded can't be displayed it can be downloaded.

  Take a look how deviantArt.com handle it.

  As photographer I like their way quiet a lot.

  Cheers,

  E

  You can make photo polymorphic, and create a galleries model.

  For profile/avatar pictures, I let "Person" as the type, with the id the Person_ID. For Galleries, I let "Gallery" be the type, with the id as the Gallery_ID. Ofcourse the Gallery table will hold the Person_ID for the owner of the model, and then added additional attributes such as "Title", "Description". I also added "Caption" attribute to "Photo", to give an option to add captions to photos.

  I use the same methodology in GalleryController to make a "primary" photo which is defined the same way as in Person, and is used as the Gallery Cover.

  This is one way.

  IMHO - KISS

  While adding PDFs and other docs are fun - a Photo album should be just that.Here is my requirement list:

  #Upload singles or batches of JPGS

  1. Title/description

  #tags with auto complete feature - useful for tag clouds and finding related content

  #4 ability to comment

  Anything more and it becomes complex for the end user

  I got the galleries and photos up and working. Left to do are comments and tags. If you are interested in seeing what I have done, here is my fork:

  I know that bill is assigned to this ticket, but I started working on this while nobody was assigned to this ticket and I hope that the work I have done will be useful for you.
