Media Gallery Changes

A number of changes have been made to the main media gallery listing page to make it more user friendly. The goal of these changes is to allow users to interact with media without having to navigate to the individual pages themselves, which mimics a more Instagram-like experience. The following changes have been made:

1. New card-style layout for individual items that display the title, number of comments, date posted, author, and reactions without having to hover over each item.
2. Comment, like and view buttons added to each card so users can interact without navigating away from the page. The comment trigger opens up the lightbox viewer and focuses the comment input.
3. Full YouTube and Vimeo video embeds have been added in lieu of a placeholder, so they can be watched without navigating away from the page. (Note: Adding lazy loading to these videos is suggested for performance. The s9e Media Sites add-on by JoshyPHP is free and handles this by default.

(Note: This may cause incompatibilities with various versions of XFMG. Make sure you are using the version of AC.UI as well as the version of XFMG that are directly compatible with your version of XenForo. If you do not want to have this updated experience for XFMG, you can undo them by editing the “ xfmg_media_list_macros” template in a child theme of AC.UI, deleting the entire contents of the template, and replacing it with the contents of the same template from the default XenForo theme.)
