Feature Images

When you assign an album to a Space favorite and featured images won't show up in the blocks - home page or space page.  You have to assign them to public view.  Doesn't make a difference if the Space and album are public.  Is that right?

    • Yes, that's correct, only public content (which has privacy as Public) can be set as featured. Probably we should not show "Featured" button for not public content:

        Bit confused by your choice.  Setting permissions to - let's say - admin or moderation would allow site operators to select featured images.  This would be used to add status to certain images and individuals.  In theory - and practice - that has significant social and cultural value (status as a cultural meme).  Can be very useful for individual with low esteem and a great way for - let's say a teacher - to help a student.  

        How much - cost to me - to have you implement a favorite block showcase and showcase view that can be assigned to albums in spaces - (groups and orgs would be nice to keep the interface consistent) and would show up on the home page.  If favorites for albums in a given space could show up in just those space - that would also be nice, but I am not certain how the block would be labeled - it would be essentially the same as that for a public album. 

        • If you need to feature some content in a group/space/org then you can "stick" it in timeline, then it will be always at the top. For example you can add album with necessary images then "stick" this album in your Space and this album will be always at the top in tis Space timeline.

            That might help with to set up the content of a Space, but the cultural and social aspects of featuring albums and I assume images are lost.  I can't feature an album created by a user and assigned to a Space, group or org.  It can't be featured on the home page or the within the space (group or org) it is assigned to - created for.   

            I can create an HTML block add an image with a link to the album.  That is a lot of work, requires knowledge of HTML (to some extent), training on the backend, is subject to input error, and the list goes on. Certainly not a method for a user without access to the backend.  Issues there.

            Favorites by author doesn't work - displays code for authors name.

            Just viewing an album assigned to a space is likely to take a user away from that space and then they have navigate their way back.  Every millisecond of load time loses you 1% of revenue.  So, what is lost when a user ends up frustrated - lost in navigation.  More likely to happen to first time users - lose them.  

            So, how much to have a featured images showcase block that will work for an album posted in a space.
