Gallery Sort Option: Location

The gallery is a great tool for finding local artists; would it be much trouble to include a gallery sort feature by location (country)?   say, either a pull down menu or bank of flag icons?

Russ (the web designer) has been working on just that.  I have seen the prototype and it looks very good.

Re: Gallery Sort Option: Location

A location sort would be great. My other wish would be a link to forum user's gallery in the profile section. So many times I am reading the forum and wish I could find a poster's gallery  easliy. As we post under a screen name and galleries are under our real names, it's sometimes difficult. But this website is still the best for viewing other works and I am so pleased to be a part of it.

Re: Gallery Sort Option: Location

Hi guys,

The country sort is coming soon. Just polishing it off at the moment. Will post here when it's live.

The links on forum profiles is a little trickier. Because the forum and gallery run on different systems (an original decision I'll always regret...), I can't do this automatically very easily. A few months ago, I did set up logging so when a user's logged into both the forum and the gallery I can link the two accounts. I can potentially therefore use this data to insert the links to galleries in forum posts. I'll see what I can do on this front as a temporary band-aid before I fix it properly by combining the two systems.

Thanks for the suggestions. There are gallery improvements on the way such as showing latest items on the main gallery page as well as just users, easier browsing of an artist's gallery (next/previous links to items), etc. also coming soon.

I'll be back in touch shortly!

My thanks for the diligence on our behalf; forum users are oft little more than greedy children where the mechanics of site administration is concerned- and I ain't no different!   Still, for what it's worth: thank you.

Re: Gallery Sort Option: Location

Hi guys,

Not quite a gallery "sort" option but it's something we've been working on so since you asked here's a preview of something with similar functionality - a gallery map!
