Our Photo Gallery Showcase has many excellent examples.  You can find the documentation on the gallery here.

As a note - it’s not new.  It was added in 1.2 in November, 2004. =)

Is it just me or does the category sorting function of that showcase not work?

How do you mean, Tim?  It works for me…

Hmmm. or…double mmmmmhhmm :gulp: Kinda old =)

Lisa, maybe it is my perception of a gallery. If I click on the photo gallery category, I get the same 9 web sites as the front page. Some of them are pretty clearly not gallery websites (in my view). eg: you have collylogic and applematters both under galleries. Other categories seem to work ok. Maybe they have been tagged somehow as galleries or containing galleries?

tuitti, fwiw, my gallery is also kinda old and I haven’t added much for the last year or so, but it uses the gallery module in an non-standard way.

I’m planning on adding some more pics soon and maybe changing some of the interaction so it degrades better without javascript.

Can you tell me the URLs you are looking at, Tim?

A site that has multiple features will often appear in both categories but with the same screenshot, so that may be what you are seeing.

Lisa, it is just me. Just having a blonde moment, so to speak, or as my wife would say, having a boy-look. The categorys work just fine.

I can see why you thought that - the category name doesn’t display in the heading text.

This is OT I suppose, but looking at the Event Calendar section, I don’t think that Philadelphia Magazine is using EE for their events.  I could be wrong, but I don’t recognize the urls and features they are using.

A URL example:

/events/detail/john_mayer_with_ben_folds/

Other than that I really want to attend that, how is that not an EE URL?  Looks like one to me.

Ugh, did I submit that? 

I was looking for an example but was getting really inconsistent results.  The only way it seems to browse events is with the search feature and this is where the urls get weird, but when I was actually typing that post, I couldn’t get the search to return ANYTHING.

OK - I got one working:
http://www.phillymag.com/events/?keyword=Keyword&category=Outdoors&date=1&x=21&y=6

is that an EE search?
Some of the individual result pages also don’t look like EE - but I’m seeing now they are being pulled from another domain.  The page style doesn’t change though:
http://www.phillyfunguide.com/event.php?id=11463&partner=phillymag

So now I see that all of the non-EE urls have the phillyfunguide domain.

Anyway, I guess it seems to me like there is some more robust event stuff going on there than EE can pull off easily.  It could be a little misleading.

If you look at the page you submitted, I think we can both agree that the actual event details are EE URLs?

They may be doing some custom work on those, and perhaps you’re right and I’m wrong, but from the events themselves is where I believe the calendar is being controlled by EE.

Could always ask them.  I can always take it out of the Event Calendar category, but when I looked, I chose that due to the event details and it did look, from that, like it was handled by EE.  The showcase isn’t restricted to sites using only out of the box functionality, either, of course. =)

If you look at the page you submitted, I think we can both agree that the actual event details are EE URLs?

Some are and some aren’t.  The second url I posted isn’t (sorry I was too lazy to make them links) and none of the event search features are, I just thought it would be confusing to a user who is looking to see what EE can do. You’d have to know what you are looking at to know that the domain name and url structure had changed.

How do you know that the search features are not a custom module, ruraldreams?  It’s seems to be looking at EE data in some way.

Magic, I think. =)
