Drupal Publisher for Live Photo Gallery has just been updated to provide support for image galleries, as per the update to SPU and Imgblog. It’s still pretty raw, but Drupal Publisher keeps getting more and more usable as time goes on.

I’ve just put up both the next version of SPU, as well as a new development release of the Imgblog module for Drupal.

Coming up for SPU, Drupal Publisher, and the Imgblog module is support for galleries, as implemented by the Image Gallery module. This will make use of the blogid parameter in spu.newImage (it’s not just there to look pretty in the specs).

If you use Windows Live Photo Gallery and publish images to a Drupal-based website, you might be pleased to know that I’ve just made the task of publishing those images a whole lot simpler.

I’m glad to say that my work on making a Live Photo Gallery plugin for publishing images to Drupal sites is progressing nicely, although I’ve had to do things a bit differently than I originally hoped.

I’m crunching away on my Live Photo Gallery plugin. It’s little more than two interfaces, a form, and some miscellaneous data classes, so there’s still nothing to show for it. Still, the user interface bits are pretty simple, and the reason I haven’t made much progress is because I’m still trying to figure how best to send the pictures to Drupal and have it set up new nodes based on the pictures. Shame that Drupal’s BlogAPI module is such a lemon.

Yesterday morning, I was hit by an idea. You see, the current beta of Windows Live Photo Gallery includes support for publishing plugins, so you can quickly and easily upload your pics to, say, Flickr, with metadata intact, simply by selecting the pictures and making a couple mouse clicks.
