Hi all, this was a mail sent on the India public list today.
Can anyone help out?
---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Shrinivasan T tshrinivasan@gmail.com Date: Wed, May 15, 2013 at 10:45 AM Subject: [Wikimediaindia-l] Request for a nice gallery for commons contributions To: "Discussion list on Indian language projects of Wikimedia." < wikimediaindia-l@lists.wikimedia.org>
Hi,
I like to showcase my photo contributions to commons to my friends. The current page http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:ListFiles/<username>
is so old and not very intuitive to see the photos.
Is it any possible to show the photos as a gallery like in flickr/picasa?

Hi all, this was a mail sent on the India public list today.
Special:ListFiles is actually rather recent. :) I think best option so far is probably creating a user category with the files and then using slideshow.

There is the Flommons tool on the toolserver: http://toolserver.org/~magnus/cgi-bin/flommons.pl?user=&mode=user_files&...
You can replace PierreSelim by your username.
It's not perfect, but it works :)

It's probably not what you are looking for - since it is meant to be powerful rather than "pretty" - but it might be of interest:

I guess a simple script can be written right? A simple .js script?

I am checking with openphoto group for adding commons as a image source. check the discussions here. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/openphoto/yGpsOPJujQs/mHwsU5cC3rIJ
If it is done, we can setup a openphoto instance and make it as a gallery for users to present their photos.
Is there any tool or library in php which uses mediawiki api, to get the photos and meta data from commons?
Hi,
Is there any tool or library in php which uses mediawiki api, to get
the photos and meta data from commons?
Most metadata are not exposed by the API, but they are machine readable too [1]
This Wordpress plugin (written in PHP) makes use of that. [2]

Hope that helps,
