What do I have to do with the RMS? Are there any instructions included?

RMS untilizes Audio/Video facilities of some Flash Apps. Here is the link to the instructions on how to handle RMS:

Who's idea was that Cool Iris crap? It looks really cheesy. I hope this is not Boonex's answer to streamlining photo album navigation, because all it does is make it worse. What is going to happen, is people are going to land on this page with the cheesy cool iris viewer, and they will have no clue that they have to click on one of the thumbnails above the viewer to go to the real photo page where they can leave comments, rate photo, etc.

I can't believe you guys actually thought this was a see more good idea. Sure it's a fancy flash viewer.. big deal. I expect the only reason you used this particular open source flash viewer was because all the best open source flash viewers are already incorporated into photo album mods sold by various members of the Boonex staff.... somebody PLEASE tell me I'm wrong on that one.

So far I have not been disapointed with the changes from one beta to the next, but you guys just changed that.

Hi Houston,

I mentioned Cool Iris a while back but no one thought it was a good idea. I think Cool Iris is very cool. The integration Boonex did was not exactly what I had in mind but I think it is rather fabulous and nicely done.

What I had stated before was to have an RSS feed of an album's photos that Cool Iris could read and show in a separate window. They have nice developer instructions at http://developer.cooliris.com/

Cheers to you, Boonex, for a job well done! Sorry to pop your see more bubble, Houston.
houstonlively
I remember your suggestion well, and I would have no problem with it as a browser plugin, but as you say, this is not what you had in mind.

To have 2 separate viewing systems is only going to confuse the site visitors with what was already an album system with less than intuitive navigation... is just plain stupid.

Boonex didn't bust my bubble on this one.... they busted everybody's bubble.
houstonlively
You can embellish this script with all kinds of fancy flash bells and whistles, and make it bug free, but in the end, the damn thing still needs to make sense.
houstonlively
BTW.. what triggers the POS?
houstonlively
NM.... it appears for everybodyd's photo but your own
vagabondette
yay, this will give me time to get it ready for my pre-launch push! thanks

I would give you my first born if you guys would incorporate a video thumbnail selection tool. I know how to edit videos but some of the basic users of my site are cluless. I've been waiting and waiting and waiting but still nothing...:( I uploaded a black screen video to the demo to show you what I mean. user name PaleoTube. You put in a really nice avatar selector why not a flash video screen shot selector?Please Please Please do this and I'll do anything you want.

This is already in place. You can set any fram of the video as the thumb.
fidelg3
BTW, Cool Iris should be able to show the video thumbnails and if you click on any of them, the video should start playing right within the Cool Iris interface.
Andrew Boon
Right, we'll look into Vid-Cooliris thing. It was a quick add really.
mastermindsro
Is the next beta the last? Cause I really can't stand any longer, I want to start the thing already.. we need RC asap.. I go crazy!
houstonlively
You'll never see an RC unless they stop taking steps backward... like that cool iris crap.
Andrew Boon
We've heard the argument a few comments earlier, loudly and prominently enough, all right.
houstonlively
A poorly worded, and ill thought comment Uno... please accept my apologies.
mickscool
Thanks a lot, waiting for RC1 ....

Let's make the next version RC1 and then support db upgrades from there ... plzzzzz
CALTRADE
You would be doing your users - and yourself, a huge favor if you started supporting at least some kind of limited upgrade procedure. Every time I start making some small progress, it is time to rip everything down and start all over again. The testing will never be as serious as you want until people finish their basic build outs and start using it with at least a small test community.
JasonVan
Very nicely spoken. I think we can all agree with that.
CALTRADE
Also, the one guy I know here that is using it with a real community found some EXTREMELY serious bugs that none of the rest of rest of us found. For example, every cupid "matching" email went out to all users, and his server was shut down for spamming as a result. We need to get our own alpha tests up now to really shake this thing down.

Hopping on the CoolIris.com bandwagon, I would like to suggest a site-wide RSS feed of all the photos, that would be compatible with CoolIris. That way anyone with the CoolIris plugin could easily browse all the photos at once (in a separate window).

Don't think this would be too many photos for CoolIris to handle all at once. I have seen thousands of photos loaded into CoolIris from a Google image search.

If you still think that would be too many photos to view at once, perhaps you could see more provide some photo filtering rules (photo searching) and show the results with an RSS feed compatible with CoolIris.

Here's my earlier post on CoolIris http://www.boonex.com/unity/blog/entry/Browse_Photo_Album_With_Cooliris
Andrew Boon
We'll look into it. It's really not a priority now, but if it fits in between coffee and second beer... kidding kidding - we'll really give a try.
houstonlively
What cool iris bandwagon? Other than yourself, I don't recall massive support for this. As a browser plugin, reading an RSS, I have no problem with it.

However, Boonex has implemente your Cool Iris in the worst possible way. It makes me wonder if Boonex ever has team meetings to discuss changes like this, or whether it is just left up to the whims of an individual.

I haven't installed this beta yet, but I assume, and certainly hope this is a block that I can disable.

Ever wonder why there see more there's no fancy flash placeholders for photos and comments? Some day I'll break my silence about that and tell you.
Andrew Boon
We implemented it in the most simple way and in the palce where it is actually useful - album browsing.
fidelg3
@unoboonex if you lived near me I'd happily treat you to some to get this done!
houstonlively
Let's be honest Uno. You found a shortcut... and you took it.

I worry that this means the primary album system will be deprived of future AJAX enhancements
marioantoci
I think you did in you previous post. lol
Nighto2007

mastermindsro
You can't Boonex itself erased everything of beta5 to install beta6..
bpowers84
You can't upgrade BETA versions of the software it has finally been said that upgrades will be supported with the RC stage of development.
