New Transformers Toy Gallery Code/Functionality

I spent most of today working on revising the primary page of the toy galleries. The gallery interiors (thumbnails and fullsize images) have not been modified yet. I spent a lot of time working on the search filters for the galleries.

Here's a list of the biggest changes:

  • You can now type in the series now to affect the series dropdown
  • The series dropdown disables series that don't have toy galleries. I originally was going to leave out series that didn't have galleries, but I thought from a usability stand point that it was better to have the series show even if it didn't have galleries so that people aren't wasting their time looking for a series assuming that we would have galleries for it.
  • The series now shows how many galleries are associated with.
  • We now have FACTION searching. It was long overdue. Woo hoo! It also shows how many galleries are associated with that faction.
  • The subgroup dropdown also shows the count.
  • Faction and subgroup dropdowns are both affected by what the other one does, as well as the series. I hope the process makes sense.
  • I haven't made any changes yet to entering a character name. I think that functionality works correctly.
  • I also added the ability to do the reverse searches of what has been available for 20+ years. You can now search by ABC, ZYX, Newest, Chronological, Most Viewed, or Obscure.
  • The gallery thumbnails now show the name, series title, number of images in gallery and number of views
  • In addition to the above, the main gallery page is now mobile friendly thanks to modern Bootstrap styling/coding and has been "refreshed" accordingly.

I have more to do at a later date, but I think the main toy gallery page is now ready to launch.

I'll work on the interior gallery pages next.
