Gallery: permalink to single image

Open jforberg opened this issue 9 years ago • 6 comments

It would be nice if there was a way to link to a single image. This does not appear to be possible without admin access.

Example: In a facebook post. "Hey guys, look at this neat image of us during last week's party: ..../album/xx/bild/yy".

Top left corner of each image in gallery there is a shareable URL, "Dela "

Or, that link will open the gallery at the selected image.

Doesn't work on my machine. It just adds ?start=0 to the query.

Oh... "start" mean "image"! I see.

Ye - didn't call it 'image' because it is based on the index it is viewed in and not actually image ids.

May I suggest that if I didn't understand this even after reading the request trace, then other people also will get it wrong. Perhaps the UI could be clarified.

Also, it's not really a permalink is it? It just gives the offset in the query. If images were re-ordered in the album the link might change.

Could we perhaps use the actual image id instead?
