Matt,
Looks like you have more of the Roller side
figured out than I do. I did find the
business.plugins class this morning in the
Javadocs (which were a bit difficult to
find). It looks like that code may need to be
looked into. I was also looking at the guides
and I appear to have skipped the step of writing
up a proposal. I just went right to discussion
on the list. I think the proposal is a good idea
because that can be used as a road map to figure
out where we are headed as we start to work on
this. I will get the proposal added to the wiki probably on Monday or Tuesday.

without having looked into the roller code, my
guess is we have to do the following:
- in roller-customer.properties add a new
property like this: photogalleryclass = my.gallery.class
- This class has to implement a defined
interface. The Roller instantiates the class
with Class.forName( getParameter("photogalleryclass") ).
- And in the Velocity templates we offer two new macros
a) to insert photogallery-JS into the html head
b) to use the gallery

Matt,
I was planning on asking you the same
question. I plan on looking more into the code
this weekend. If anyone can give me a head
start and point me to the correct jars to look at it would be helpful.

to be honest, I don't know how the other
pluggable things in Roller work. Do you?
IMO there should be two things to a photo
gallery plugin. a) If it's Javascript-based,
one or more script have to be included in the
HTML head. b) The photo gallery software has
to receive the images (or image urls) to create its gallery.
What are your thoughts?

I completely agree about it being pluggable
but in making it pluggable it shouldn't
matter what it is on the "other side". The
code that I currently have for the photo gallery is all Java based and AJAX.

Angie--
that's a great idea. IMHO such a gallery
functionality should be made pluggable. Such
as that multiple gallery implementations can be used in Roller.
Right now, I am thinking about using
something Javascript based (JQuery based to
be exact). Maybe we can figure out a general interface for galleries.
What do you think?
Regards,
Matt
