In the hope of better focus I am starting a new thread on this topic with a repeat of my post yesterday
Richard /Pixelart originally wrote; Will it ever be possible to content manage the Gallery/Slideshow with a CMS like WebYep as although the Showcase feature is great clients increasingly want to be able to change the images in slideshows and galleries themselves such as Slideshow Pro can with the help of Director.
This is a feature I would love to see.
Could an upload facility be built in to Showcase Gallery so we could upload a gallery to a folder on a server and then the Freeway Showcase Action is configured to go looking for it there? Then we can give/license the Showcase app to a client who simply adds or subtracts the images and uploads?
At present I have a site with a galleries on which was built with Jalbum/Simple Viewer. The Gallery is uploaded directly to a folder on the server via FTP built in to the Jalbum application. I have placed it on the site page in an iFrame. The client has Jalbum on her computer and a copy of the Simple Viewer gallery I set up for her. She adds (by Drag & Drop from iphoto/ano folder or hitting a + button and searching). She can also delete and change the order with D&D. Then uploads to the server - the FTP settings are remembered as in Freeway and the gallery is automatically updated on subsequent viewing. (The site is http://www.simonnelhermitte.com/simonnel’hermittedessins.html).
Could something similar be achievable with the Showcase app?
It looks to me as if that quote isn’t a simple single quote but a
styled one. As such it’s not allowed in a url and has to be specified
using some encoding.
Curious that as I copied it from the address bar. I see it has an apostrophe in it which usually causes headaches. Must look into it. If still of interest try http://www.simonnelhermitte.com/index.html and go to the gallery pages via the nav bar

Hi Richard,
I can see how that would be useful. We could certainly look into it for a future version, it would be too much work for this one though.

Hi Joe
Hope you can indeed find the time to look at it - I send all the encouragement possible for your team to have a go at it.
