Appeareance of images attached to a post


Hello @Friendica Developers @Friendica Support @friendica-dev.mbbit.de/profile… Hello dear community, I would like to discuss with you about the appearance of posts with multiple images on #Friedica. Here is my opinion:
The current way multiple #images are displayed is awful:

Yeah, you saw it by my embedded examples your self. What bothers me most is:

  • It just looks messy (especially when there is a mix of landscape and portrait format)
  • Besides the aesthetics, multiple images take a lot of room (when you do not use an add-on like show more)


My suggestion on which I would love to hear your opinion is to use a grid format like on #mastodon:

I would pitch a suggestion by adding a PR for a (from my point of view) "better" appearance based to this
tutorial. I do not like to use JS in general and would leave it out by determine the suited amount of columns in the backend.

But before I invest time on that, I want to hear your feedback. Thank You!

The image grid feature is now live in the 2022.12-rc branch.

❤ Thank you very much for all the feedback and support! ❤

One known issue is that the grid is not generated in "quote shared" post, and I did not find the time to analyze / address it (github.com/friendica/friendica…).

in reply to Marek Bachmann

Do you have a screenshot showing how this looks like now? :smiling face with smiling eyes:
in reply to Hypolite Petovan

I am not able to confirm the issue. On my dev instance, clicking on any image in any of both column starts fancybox correctly (Tested it here: friendica-dev.mbbit.de/display…).
Can you provide an example? Thank You!
in reply to Marek Bachmann

@Marek Bachmann :friendica: @Grischa Don't worry about it, it's an issue with the fancybox addon specifically, and you need an image grid with two columns, it doesn't affect inline images like you've shared.

@Marek Bachmann :friendica: Ah, you need to run bin/composer install --no-dev whenever the composer.lock file changes.
in reply to Marek Bachmann

Thx, that fixed it. Nice! Was pulling the last times without worrying about that ;-)

Participating on polls from Friendica


@Friendica Support : Just a curious question:
I follow quite a lot of mastodon account, and in the last days, mastodon users seem to develop a passion for polls.


I noticed that I am on my friendica instance are not able to participate in these polls since the content is only included in plain text.

Does #Friendica just do not support polls, or is it only my instance / a missing add-on that prevents me to participate in polls?

in reply to Marek Bachmann

My understanding is that polls are currently only displayed but you can't vote on them yet. It would be great if this will be added to a future version of Friendica!
in reply to Ruben Verweij

Yes, this summarizes exactly my reading. I just asked on git

Is there already _something_ implemented regarding those interactions? I would love to have a look at it as a starting point to get familiar with the code structure. :)


#Friendica needs new contributors!

I'm not used to do this, but with the large influx of new users and node admins recently coming from #Twitter, our small team is now behind the curve for handling support requests, bug reports and bring about much-needed features.

The project is built on a #PHP/#MySQL platform, but we also need people to be able to assist others just using the software to give developers some space.

If you're willing and able to help, please follow @Friendica Support and the project on Github: github.com/friendica/friendica

Thank you!

@legeneralmidi En théorie, tous les services fédiversaux sont interopérables, mais mes partages de Mastodon à #Friendica viennent sans texte.

@n8chz ⒶⒺ Désolé pour ça, ce problème semble être très spécifique à votre situation. Il sera difficile de le résoudre fiablement si nous ne pouvons pas le reproduire fiablement de notre côté.













Sagt mal @Friendica Support mache ich da irgendwas falsch oder ist das ein Bug, dass ein geteilter Beitrag zweimal/ untereinander erscheint. Bzw. ein Bild in einem geteilten Beitrag. Bin auf der aktuellen DEV.
Beispiel: anonsys.net/display/bf69967c-2…
in reply to Tuxi ⁂

Es liegt an Dir, es liegt garantiert nicht am dem Programmierer, der das verursacht hat und sich gerade wie der Kesselflicker auf der Titanic fühlt ...

Ich schaue es mir nachher an.
