Cloudinary image gallery : labels and reordering

[glimow]

I have used keystone in production and my customers are pretty happy with it. However, a significant part of them expected the ability to reorder images in the cloudinary gallery and to add label on them. I patched this (in a pretty dirty way) on my keystone, but I think that would be an interesting supported feature as most CMSs offer them.

@glimow, could you tell us about your "dirty approach"? I'm very intrigued.

Added fields in the field type and in the frontend component by hand in keystone code. Nothing is tested though

@glimow I did similar approach on https://stanlywilson.me/work

It doesn't need any hard coding. Assigned a tag property to each image and a priority number to each image and sorted it out based on a category.

It would be quite useful if keystone had something like that in it build it.

@abhijithvijayan I'm not sure I fully understand, You didn't do any any modification to keystone's code to achieve that ? That means you have not used the CloudinaryImages field but rather a List of CloudinaryImage along with other fields, am I wrong ?

[abhijithvijayan]

@glimow oh sorry, I didn't notice the CloudinaryImage(s) field, rather I used like you said a list of CloudinaryImage fields.

but the gallery view seems way better than my approach. Do you have a demo or something so as to check it out.

Thanks.

Yeah the gallery is pretty cool, especially because I had to integrate a per-page gallery in my project. Unfortunately my code is a dirty hack and It's not very suitable for a demo or smth. But I'm up helping integrate that into keystone. The true problem is that keystone doesn't support nested lists, but I think this is not in the roadmap because there are other priorities.
