Feature Request: CD-Media-to-post integration
 
So I found myself linking a series of pictures off CD-Media in a thread. For each one, it took a separate link.

This got me thinking: there's got to be a better way to show a series of pictures from CD-Media in posts. (I'm talking about linking here, not the discussion thread of a particular picture.)

First, would it be possible to let thumbnails get added to posts in place of the current links through some new vB code? Say, for example, [thumb]25906[/thumb] displayed:



(25906, for those playing at home, is the ID number of that picture in CD-Media.)

As someone who's used the iLife browser in Pages, a way to browse through the CD-Media images (say, by tag or from favorites) and embed them while posting would be amazing. But today isn't Make Brandon Work Day, so I won't press my luck. ;)

There is a vbcode already in use in the discussion threads .. I could add another for thumbnails, and also provide 'add-to-clipboard' links on each images page, if you wanted. This works for "photo" and in the future, "paper"

Code: (spaces added in there to make it show properly)
Code:

[ cdm-description=photo ]25906[ /cdm-description ]

Seems like the sweet spot between awesomeness and time to implement.

I've never used iLife or Pages, but if I'm getting what you're saying, you'd like a thumbnail or two, and some navigation links under them; the navigation links would switch pictures, without reloading the page? The 3 images that are randomly shown at the top of an event on CD-Events will "some day" be an Ajax-powered slideshow, showing more than just 3; I just ran out of time when I was implementing and put 3 randomly up there.

Here's what it looks like in Pages 2:




What came to mind was to have some searching options in the upper pane (where the iPhoto drop-down is located). This would be where folks could search, find by tag/uploader, or browse their favorites. Click the image, and it's inserted in the post.

And, obviously, make it look like CD instead of Mac OS X.

Ahh -- I gotcha. I'll keep that in mind for future enhancements.
