Images

The units for height/width in expo/RN aren't pixels. They're dimensionless, which puts an extra complication on how big we need to save or serve images.

TODO: Decide on size/quality images to serve for in-feed/fullscreen/thumbnail/avatar scenarios

Cloudinary has a couple of ways to index an entire folder
https://support.cloudinary.com/hc/en-us/articles/202521082-How-to-list-all-images-within-a-folder-
I'd like to take advantage of that in two ways:

• Common Images (SGs tend to repost the same stuff over and over again, and supporting this behavior in software will save us some space on our Cloudinary free tier and make the admins' lives easier)
• Player Images. We want to use the Roster/Player bio features to tell a story about our club. To pull that off, we'll need to order photos. Either we keep a sequential list in our own database and implement something to reorder them, or we just grab everything in the player's image folder and alpha sort (and give a maintainer access to Cloudinary to rename them)

TODO: Figure out how captions/photo credit work. Can we/should we store these in image metadata? in the database?

Proposed file structure (undescore/dash/camel naming conventions TBD)

• common*1
• channels/{channel._id}_avatar.png
• channels/{channel._id}_header.png ({channel._id}_hero.png? {channel._id}_background.png?)
• feed/?*3
• foes/{foe._id)_logo.png
• player_thumbnails/{player._id}_thumbnail.png
• players/id/*2

*1 - store path, return index of subfolders/images
*2 - store path, return index of subfolders/images, reverse sorted

*3 - How far do we want to break down the folders for feed images?

• feed/yyyy/mm/{feeditem._id}/{cloudinary_id}.png
  or
• feed/yyyy/mm/dd/{feeditem._id}/{cloudinary_id}.png
  paths to images for a post are stored one-at-a-time in the feeditem.images array. Some of the entries in this array might live in the common folder

Does anyone know of a great RN image viewer control that behaves like FB?
Plus, how do we view them when not in fullscreen mode?

[galenriley]

The post creation part of all this is going to be a nightmare

Leaving this open until @shortnd confirms folder structure is in a place where we are all happy with it

@galenriley thoughts on the folder structures that has already been in uses.. they are close to what you had above but some have been slightly modified.

[galenriley]

We have only been using the feed images so far, and one item in channels. Feed works very well. In theory, we'll have player photo albums coming in the app eventually, though that may be shuffled in favor of using phone local storage to cache data. Are y'all using player photos widely? (I have an album on imgur that I reference by editing the database directly. Was waiting on the go-ahead to use the admin tools for this purpose.) What are y'all doing with images so far? We're using very little of our credit balance with only the feed.
