For my client, they run a business that conducts sales of household goods. For each sale we create a new page on their website. Each page has:
The Sale Date, Address of the Sale, Days that the sale is running, times that the sale is running, a headline, a sale description and a gallery of thumbnails (anywhere from 50-250 thumbnails) when the thumbnail is clicked, it brings up the image in lightbox and the user can go through all the pictures in this gallery.
I have created a template to do everything to create this clone able page and then display all of the information on the cloned page, except the gallery.
As I understand from the documentation and the forums, the user would then after creating this page from the template have to create a gallery in a separate template and do some manipulation of folders in order to tie all this together.
While I am fairly sure, I could pull that off, from a client/user standpoint, I think that is way over their head.
My proposal is to allow access to a image module from within another template, to allow multiple images to be uploaded all at once. This module would also rename all images and create a folder for those images specific to just that cloned page. This would automate the process and is what I'm sure a lot of folks hoped the Gallery Template would do.
