Gallery 2 and Gallery 3

 

Gallery 2 vs. Gallery 3: Which Format Is Better?

Gallery 2 has always been a rather secure way to put photos on the website without wondering where and how to hide them. Many people have already used the offered features and benefited from the results. Gallery 2 has definitely made lives of many people easier, then why can it be substituted by Gallery 3?

Gallery 2: Main Drawbacks

The diversity of the gallery has made it unhealthy. It has been created from the bottom and the interface, and some functions demand lots of work. The product became so complex that it would probably take years to get up to the needed speed and attract new developers.

This is why it is believed that Gallery 3 will be a great recourse both for users and the developers. The lessons from the first two models were taken into consideration and this is why the third model is much more improved and easy to use.

The List Of Features

Gallery 2

Gallery 3 contains many features that are rather important as a part of the core product. These features include:

  • add new comments;
  • choose language;
  • edit user full name, [filtered word] address;
  • login;
  • recover password;
  • search for keywords;
  • subscribe to album or photos;
  • view album, photo, next photo, full size photo, comments, slideshow, tag cloud.

Secondary Features

Some old features won’t be used in Gallery 3, because about 80% of users have never used them. That doesn’t mean no one wishes to see these features in the product. This means they will be substituted or modified. So far the Gallery is still developing, and this is why the list is not complete, as some more features may be included:

  • upload applet;
  • sitemap;
  • shopping cart;
  • reupload;
  • rating;
  • print services;
  • integration;
  • image frames;
  • icon sets;
  • exit rotation;
  • custom fields;
  • additional themes.

The new Gallery also has several subcategories that include:

  • User Guide;
  • Usage;
  • Usability;
  • Troubleshooting;
  • Theming;
  • Themes;
  • Other Clients;
  • Modules;
  • Development;
  • Developer Handbook;
  • Concepts;
  • API.

The aim of the innovations is to create a product that will be used at least by 80% of people. This new gallery will also work on alternative platforms. The new services of the 3rd Gallery will meet the needs of the users, because there are always people, who wish to control the things that happen on their websites.

This new Gallery 3 won’t perform all the things that were done by Gallery 2, but the list of its features will definitely implement the needs of all users.
