I have made the code for CFCPhotoBlog available. CFCPhotoBlog is a ColdFusion and Model-Glue based photoblog application.

The project page for CFCPhotoBlog is here:
http://www.leavethatthingalone.com/projects/CFCPhotoBlog/

I am fairly new to Model-Glue so please don't look at this code as the correct or best way to do things. In fact I'd really like feedback on improving the application from those OO and Model-Glue people out there.

Rick's Gravatar This is quite nice. I'm really curious to check it out now. I was just starting to work on something slightly similar in concept for displaying photos.

Nice work!

Seth's Gravatar I've made a small update to the CFCPhotoBlog. A fix for a problem when uploading photos for Mac users. Thanks to Steven Erat for pointing this out and suggesting a solution.

Critter's Gravatar Nice one, mate. I've passed the link on to my tacfug.org usergroup. i know there are several people (including me) just starting to get our feet wet with model-glue, and having a gander at real world examples never hurt. thanks for sharing the code.

Steve Moore's Gravatar I too agree this is a very fine application and appreciate you making it available for all. Here are a couple of things I found:

1) I'm not sure that clicking on the photo itself to view the previous one is intuitive. Most people think clicking on an image will bring up a larger version. Perhaps a title attribute to give a tooltip saying "previous photo..." or something.

2) What it really needs is the ability to upload the photos directly through the application and perform the image resizing in the app. Of course this isn't possible with the current version of CF (need image tools in the next version Adobe!) wthout some third party tools.
