Gallery enhancement: Search by tag

Jeff's avatar

I changed the way the Cedar Point photo gallery works a little. Now you can actually drill down with the tags to view a subset of photos that share up to three tags. For example, choose Millennium Force, then construction, then station, and you'll get just photos of MF's station (or components of it) during construction.

I do realize that being able to exclude specific tags is also a desirable way to search, but that'll come another day.

Very nice.

Thanks for all the work Jeff.

One suggestion: Would it be possible to have the tags progressively filter? Select something in the first box, and then only the other tags from photos which have that tag would appear, and then do the same with the third box?

Not sure how much effort it would take (I'd think just a simple query, but I don't know your backend code). If not, its still a great way to look through the photo albums.

Because of the number of tags, which will grow and grow as we get better about tagging, that kind of recursive counting would just dog the server, which is why I decided to show a total once you've selected the tags. That, and as it stands, it's not as straight forward a query as you'd think. :)
