The Collection View Page allows for users to browse and scroll through all photos within a single collection. This page displays a large single photo while providing thumbnail photos of eight other photos within that Collection. An additional view includes a full screen version of any single photo by clicking on the currently displayed photo.
Themes *Each theme should have analogous top and bottom borders (either black or gray).
Themes are a way for users to change the appearance/style of the Collection View Page. Each Theme will display the same boxes (Collection title, Display photo, Thumbnail box, Average Rating, Exif Data, Photo Information/Details, Comments), but the layout of these boxes will vary according to Theme. Currently there are three different Themes for users to choose from when editing photos/Collections on the Manage Page.
Display Photo
The Display Photo provides a larger view of any thumbnail within the currently selected Collection. This photo can be easily changed by clicking on any of the thumbnails in the Thumbnail Box or by using the arrow icons in the Thumbnail Box to move to the next photo in sequence. An additional full screen view of the Display Photo can be viewed by simply clicking on the Display Photo once more.
Furthermore, titles and captions that users applied to photos on the “Manage Page” will be displayed above and below each photo as it is selected as the Display Photo. A rating system (from 0 to 5 starts) is applied to all photos, with the displayed rating representing the average rating from all users of the Display Photo.
Thumbnail Box *Made sure each theme allows for nine thumbnail previews.
The Thumbnail Box enables users to simultaneously display nine thumbnail versions of photos within the currently selected Collection. These nine thumbnails are ordered according to the photo order chosen by the user on the “Manage Page,” with the Display Photo’s thumbnail highlighted with a bold white box. A user can scroll forwards or backwards through all thumbnails within a Collection by using the arrow icons found in the Thumbnail Box.
Information Box
This Information Box provides viewers with quick photo information about the Display Photo once it has been uploaded to photoEcoz. In this box, a user may see the photographer, the number of views the photo has received since upload, any tags the photographer placed on the photo, and also gives a user the option to add it to their cart for later printing.
Exif Box
The Exif Box provides information about the camera settings used to take the Display Photo. This Exif data is automatically imported (if it is available) with your photos during upload.
Comment Box
The Comment Box allows for all logged-in viewers to leave their thoughts on the Display Photo. Each comment in the Comment Box will display the user as well as date the comment was made.
Share/Download of Display Photo *Original/Basic Theme does not have the same bolded orange text for “Share” and “Download.”
Users also have the option of sharing or downloading a Display Photo that they like by clicking on the bolded orange “Share” or “Download” icons. Sharing allows a user to either email an invitation to view the Display Photo, obtain a link to the Display Photo, or embed the Display Photo in a website. Download allows users to download a high-resolution copy of the Display Photo.
