Add Admin Management Links to Gallery Interface

[mike]

I propose that we add admin management links to the gallery interface to allow admins to instantly link into the management page for a particular collection, album, picture or comment. We can accomplish this easily by checking for the logged in session cookie of the site administrator when browsing the gallery.

What if instead of redirecting the user to management page we would display the form in a popup? For example if a album is viewed, there is an "edit picture link under each picture, clicking it displays the form for editing picture information, after the changes are saved the popup will close again and the page will refresh itself.

Would that work?

Anti, I think that is a great idea. There is also an AJAX solution we could do. I know AJAX is the uber-trendy new web app style, but I think if we want to go down that path it would draw a lot more attention to the product. Maybe some kind of AJAX popup window that appears on top of the gallery (within the same page). Kind of like the "page loading" window in PLESK. Otherwise, I think a simple popup would work great :)
