I don't think it is useful to "remove" options as several users might have entered all their images into the gallery using Flickr, and now GooglePhotos - before Picasa.
Additionally the option to have a way to present external galleries enabled Mahara Portfolio owners to reduce the necessary webspace and the controls (access to those spaces - and with it the legal requirements i.e. GDPR for those spaces) Now by having those options no more available also the legal obligations are 100% laying by those Mahara instance owners instead by Flickr/Picasa/Google or Apple Photos etc. and as a plus they will need a lot more of space available to host all those images and videos themselves. As Mahara until now has no way to process and reduce image space i.e. by integrating a way to reduce the image sizes which get uploaded to a max pixel size and of course by compressing the images i.e. by using a web service like http://www.resmush.it (check the Wordpress plugin) https://github.com/artisansweb/image-optimizer - that might be pretty useful here! I would definitely vote for continuing the integration of web image spaces - especially: Flickr Google Photos Apple Photos for integrating single images but also for integrating albums and galleries provided by those services. It makes live much much easier for Mahara Portfolio owners! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mahara Contributors, which is subscribed to Mahara.

The external galleries currently supported will need to be investigated as to whether they are still usable. If they are no longer needed, we will decommission them and we will also decommission the following from the block configuration: Remove the options for 'Display images from external gallery' Remove the options to display 'Thumbails' (we will now only need "Thumbnails (Square) and Slideshow) Remove the 'user photo frame option' Remove the 'width' option (we are using gridstack now) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mahara/+bug/1896347/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~mahara-contributors Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~mahara-contributors More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
