Photo Galleries (Page 1 of 2)

Don't like them ... don't like all the stuff actually about the galleries ... always this system a pic = a page ...

Tamlyn plans on creating a Nucleus plugin to integrate the singapore gallery.

As far as galleries go, it comes down to the templating system, since they are all pretty similar in operation.

That's what I'm playing with now, the templating system in singapore. Most of the available templates are either wide open to the browser window or use tables to constrain the content. What it needs is a template based solely on CSS for positioning and navigation elements.

what do you think about http://www.phpwebgallery.net/ ?

Ludo,

So I have AT LEAST found a very good system "like I see ..."

http://www.glish.com/photo/show.asp?fil … /index.xml

Great, incredible options, quick, very well coded, and AT LEAST prove it's very incredible time and bandwidth servers have with "old systems"

It's javascript with a little help from active server pages:

<script language="javaScript" src="/glish.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script language="javaScript" src="/photo/show.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

</script><span id="DSCN3580span"><a onmouseover="return true;" onmouseout="return true;" onfocus="this.blur(); " onclick="if (yourBrowserIsGoodEnough) return false;" href="show.asp?file=/photo/03-01-flowers/index.xml&loadImageID=DSCN3580"><img id="DSCN3580" class="showThumbs64" src="/photo/03-01-flowers/DSCN3580t.jpg" width="64" height="48" title="" alt="" /></a></span><script type="text/javascript">
if (yourBrowserIsGoodEnough) {
    x = thumbsA.length;
    thumbsA[x] = new photoIMG(x,"DSCN3580","/photo/03-01-flowers/","","320","240","640","480","1024","768");
    thumbsA[x].setDescription("");
    thumbsA[x].takes[0]=new takeIMG(0,thumbsA[x].imgObj.id,thumbsA[x],64,48);
    
    }

View source is your friend

I'm actually looking into this one right now:

I'm setting it up on my test server to try to customize it.

I'm actually working on getting the 'galerie.php' script integrated into PunBB. I've got it working, but I still need to tweak a options in the layout + complete the admin plugin. At the moment, you just upload the images into a folder and the rest is up to the script...I'm working on a upload/delete function though, but it will require some larger modifications to the code.

Demo: [here]

Note: This is not the latest version.

AWSOME! i especially like your test subjects.

Well, I guess I will throw in my two cents here.

I have tested numerous image galleries.  Most of them are pure refuse!  I agree with Rod that you should not have to visit a new page for every single pic and then have to go back to find the stupid thumbnails.

I use one Image Gallery because it offers the best presentation I have found. Its not perfect but its very good. If you hate Flash, you won't like this gallery script.  One of the best features of the gallery is that it uses XML to pull in images and descriptions. Navigation of thumbnails is elegant.

Maybe I dont understand what your talking about.  But when I installed and tested MG2 (Minigal v.2), the entire gallery is run out of two pages, 1. index, which handles all the public viewing functions. and 2. admin, which handles all the admin functions.  It does not create thumbnails but generates them on the fly (I am not sure how, there is a very tiny 4byte file with ÿØÿà in it with .thmb extension). 

I have installed the gallery twice one with 30 images and the other with 60+ and so far it is fast and works well. It was fairly easy to integrate (I did a very basic integration into Wordpress).

Yeah, that is deffinitley a valid point.  I wouldnt use minigal for a large amount of images either.  For a small amount it is fine.  For large galleries or a more robust system I usally use ick "Gallery" and "Coppermine".  (currently looking into other options for large robust photo managment systems)

I was just wondering about the statement made earlier in the thread about "pic = a page" and thinking maybe I missed something when looking at the scripts.  I am trying fill in some gaps in my php/script knowledge here.  The way minigal works I thought it was doing the opposite of "pic = a page".  I might be wrong, I just dont know.

Ok, tried it. I get no images in the right hand pane when I click a thumbnail, FF 1.0.1 WinXP.
