Yep. We will be trying to keep a few tagging standards .. (frc234, frv11, fll15, etc). All will be document in the FAQ/Help section. As for the main page with the random & most popular links, we'll have to see how it goes once we have a ton of tags before we make a decision on what type of tag shouldn't show there.

Re: CD-Media Progress
 
I've been going on a tagging frenzy, and a few questions emerge.

1) Is there any way to list the folder that it was imported from, at least temporarily? This would be a big help, especially for regionals where they all look the same.
2) When it comes to names, are we using their username, their real name, or what they're known as? (For example, is it Billfred, Billfred Leverette, or William Leverette?)

1) The import script will be modified to auto-tag pictures based on what folder they were in. So, once I write that and reimport everything it should be a lot easier to figure stuff out. They'll still need to be tagged further, but it'll give us a big headstart.

2) Names. I'd probably say username (who they're known as), but that's up for discussion.

Tonight's progress:
You can upload photos to CD-Media.
The process isn't final, but it's functional.

Play around if you're curious. All photos will fall into an approval queue that may not be touched for a while, so if your photos disappear like normal .. but never reappear .. thats why.

Re: CD-Media Progress
 
I re-wrote a big chunk of CD-Media last night and Sunday night.

All I have to get working before we switch over for good is:
  • White Paper Upload Pages
  • Finalize White Paper Detail Page design
  • Picture/Paper Approval Pages
  • Picture/Paper Editing (via Ajax)
  • "Who Am I" Control Panel
  • Discussion (on the photo/paper page!)
  • Re-Import everything
And once re-imported you'll never be stuck wondering where exactly that picture of Amanda doing the birdie dance is ever again.

*ducks*

I noticed a bug:

If I make a search which should return no results, it returns a thumbnail for this image but with no details and a date of 12-31-1969 07:00 PM. Clicking on the thumbnail brings me back to http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/photos/.

Just tried a keyword search in the pictures section and got this:

On the search page, you can search either papers or pictures, selected by a radio button. Is it possible to change that to 2 check boxes so people can search both at the same time?

It used to be like that .. and I changed it when I rewrote a lot of CD-Media last week. I don't remember right now why I removed it, but I probably had a valid concern. I know it would be convenient if you could search both, so I'll have to look into putting it back.

Re: CD-Media Progress
 
I've started using CD-Media to hunt down most of the pictures I hunt down--it looks good.

Three questions come to mind, though...
1) Is there any way to have the list-o-tags on http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/photos/tags/ show up alphabetically? Unless you know, for example, that there's a decent number of photos tagged frc1293, you're gonna be a while finding the tag.
2) Would it be possible, once you've picked a tag, to refine that based on other tags on the same pictures? (For example, once you get to the page for 2004, a list of tags would be spat out, allowing you to hack that list down to photos tagged with both 2004 and robot.)
3) On some photos, such as http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/photos/32584, little trash cans pop up beside some tags, but not others. What do those do?

Thanks, Brandon!

I could add that. You can always go to http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/photos/tags/whatever_tag though ..

When you search, it also searches the tag tables. I could probably make it only search the tags tables (or only search the title/description) by choice.

If you think that tag is inappropriate, or maybe doesn't suit that image/paper, you can suggest that it be removed. It goes through the same voting process as it did when it was being added in the first place. If it can't be deleted (in voting process already) then the trash can doesn't show up.

Re: CD-Media Progress
 
I have few questions:

- Will we be able use [url] tags and similies in the descriptions of pictures in CD Media?
- Also is there any news yet on progress of CD Media and/or final switchover?
- When will the pictures uploaded since the begining of September be imported into CD Media?

So far the new CD Media is simply amazing. Everyone should thank Brandon many, many times when this is done for this wonderful new feature. :)

It will support all vBCode tags (url, bold, italics, etc). I may eventually make the description box use the WYSIWYG that is used when creating/editing a post.

I just bought a house .. been busy getting settled. Work's been nuts. Side jobs have been put off and deadlines are getting close w/lots to do. I should have some free time in November to get things going on it and have it ready for the season.

CD-Media will be wiped clean and everything from the current gallery will be reimported. All images uploaded to CD-Media that are not also put in the current (old) galleries will be lost. All old links will forward to the new page .. however all old images (if referenced in a post) may be broken images. I have to see how hard it would be to make that all just magically still work.

Re: CD-Media Progress
 
I've been doing little things here & there on CD-Media. It's been going slower than I had planned, but things are still being done:

There's new icons on the right of things (favorite, delete, approve, reject) that you may be able to see, if you have permission to. They all are functioning (or at least seem to ..) The tag/vote links on the tagging area have been repalced by some icons, too.

Showing the discussion thread in-line has been added to photos. Well, until I re-import .. it only shows on one photo. It's nowhere near done, but if you're curious: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/photos/30851 (near the bottom).

Next/Previous links show on the photos now.

Those are the big changes in the past week or so .. that, and random bug fixes.

I have no estimate on when this will be complete, but I wanted to let those who are anxious about it know that it hasn't gotten left behind.

Re: CD-Media Progress
 
Just for kicks, I tried to tag the image you linked to. Tagging worked fine, but then I tried to vote on the tag change. It gives me a box with something about "no comments," and a cancel and vote button, but when I click the "Vote" button, I get:
