I'd be interested to share ideas and solutions here with others who might be using a Stack Ideas setup, specifically ES, ED and EB for a Photography Club.
I am currently putting together a Private Members site for a small PhotoClub but have come across a few things I need a workaround for.
I know from some searches that John Bloomfield is involved with a Photo Club and has asked about a Featured Photos/Photographers module and/or solution. That is high on my list as well. My need right now is to post 2 "Featured Photos" on the login page, one to the left of the Login Form and one to the right. As our site is a Members only site (at the request of the members) I need to keep all exif and member data out of the photo... so, just the photo.
I am using the Fluent template and while it doesn't have a Right Module position, Arlex has provided a possible layout solution that I will be trying out later today. I'll report back if it works as far as making a Right position available, however that still doesn't solve the problem of how to get a single photo (or album) in both the Left and Right position.
I have used the Photos module however it posts tiny little thumbnails (max set to 10 in the album) and the options leave too much photographer info available to the Public, and it does not include navigation buttons.
I have used the Albums module, specifying just one album (thinking it could be a "Featured" album, but while that module includes the navigation buttons between photos, it also has a View All button... and I can't get rid of that button easily without affecting the use of the module once into the member section of the site itself.
What would be really nice is a Slideshow module, or a single photo module that could be used to populate the Left and Right positions on the login page.
Looking forward to hearing from other members of Stack Ideas who are using ES for a Club, notably one dealing with Photography.
