I am having a lot of fun writing code I have no hope of understanding next week. :)
I don't think I've every written anything as complex as this gallery handing program. I am loving it. I have to tweak the "Gallery Edit" html a bit, but the tcl is written, the PostreSQL is handled.
I expect I could embed some procedures and clean it up some. I might in the future. This has been a great learning exercise.
There are two things left to write before this can go into use.
1. The bit of code that will allow a one click for putting a gallery photo in the front page rotation.
2. The bit of code that will take a temp directory of photos and turn them into a gallery.
Most of number 1 is written because I've already written the script for editing the front page rotation. I just have to plug into at the right point.
And most of number 2 has been written as a shell script. It just requires a translation.
Also, I wrote the scripts to display the galleries from PostgreSQL before I finished designing. They will need to be tested. And all the existing galleries have to be swept up and installed.
Yay!
Then a few loose ends and CI will be all dynamic, easily updated, and easily reconfigured.
Life is really good.
