Re: Creating ZMSGraphic Objects

Hello Mr. Greitzke,

We are currently developing a so called "mediamanager" plugin for ZMS  
(similiar to NextGen gallery in Wordpress) for a client that allows to  
do these things:

- Add new images and files (we created a special type "lightboximage"  
for this that allows more customization than the normal ZMSGraphic,  
for example thumbnailsize, use lightbox etc.)
- Add galleries (from ZIP files, too and you can set the thumbnail- 
size - images in galleries are instances from type "lightboximage")
- Browse images and media files through own new browser and insert  
them into textareas using fckeditor (created a plugin for this, too) -  
this is going to replace ZMS's default link-browser, too.

The parts till here are done already, but not ready for distribution  
yet.
Currently in development are these functions:

- Edit images (resize, crop)
- Manage galleries (order, set titles etc.)

Most of this is done using JS with jquery.
My plan is to finish this within the next 7 days.

I could send you the special objects of lightboximage and  
lightboxgallery that contain the functions like creating thumbnails  
automatically etc.
But: These do not use the default ZMSGraphics but rely on our  
lightboximage-object.

I have to talk to the client but I think it will be no problem to  
release the
complete package as a product or perhaps for free at all.
