They don't have to be built in already since we code up so much stuff here. SlideShow is perfect for you photographer peeps though. </p> http://decaflon.com/technology/notes/432/p/1/#response-112899 Wed, 26 Mar 2008 12:05:31 publicenergy 112899 <p>I'm currently testing out <a href="http://slideshowpro.net/">SlideShowPro</a>. </p> <p>I've knocked up a test gallery <a href="http://publicenergy.co.uk/portfolio/"> - it's actually 3 albums within a gallery</a>.</p> <p>The thing I'm impressed with is that once you have got your flash gallery in place, you can use their director product to manage the images within it instead of having to rebuild it.</p> <p>One of the reasons I liked it so much was the ability to have a full screen slideshow as an option. </p> http://decaflon.com/technology/notes/432/p/1/#response-112895 Wed, 26 Mar 2008 11:58:46 Scrivs 112895 <p>Time to revive this one since I'm always on the lookout for the good stuff so hit me with gallery software that you have worked with everyone. </p> http://decaflon.com/technology/notes/432/p/1/#response-5277 Tue, 07 Nov 2006 22:00:16 paularms 5277 <p><strong>Ozone42:</strong> I guess it can depend on your server. Also I know one of the developers and he definitely admitted that you should turn off and uninstall all modules that you aren't using, as it can greatly improve performance. </p> http://decaflon.com/technology/notes/432/p/1/#response-5267 Tue, 07 Nov 2006 19:52:27 Ozone42 5267 <p>Gallery 2 is feature rich, but anything you don't want to use can be turned off, so there's no need for it to feel bloated and slow.</p> <p>Though, I have a hard time imagining it being slow even with tons of modules installed, it's not exactly resource intensive program on a server. I have about 15 installations on my server on different domains and no real load unless I'm getting very heavy traffic. </p> http://decaflon.com/technology/notes/432/p/1/#response-5265 Tue, 07 Nov 2006 19:47:07 paularms 5265 <p>I love Gallery 2, but be warned: it is <strong>feature rich</strong> meaning that it can do a lot of stuff that the average user definitely has no use for and also feels bloated and slow! </p> http://decaflon.com/technology/notes/432/p/1/#response-5259 Tue, 07 Nov 2006 17:55:00 oonatty 5259 <p>The quickest is obviously <a href="http://flickr.com" rel="nofollow">http://flickr.com</a> You can download desktop apps for windows, mac and linux that make it easy to resample and upload pictures.</p> <p>Or you could try something like Gallery: <a href="http://gallery.menalto.com/" rel="nofollow">http://gallery.menalto.com/</a> Designed for photo galleries but no reason I can see that it couldn't be used for your purposes. </p> http://decaflon.com/technology/notes/432/p/1/#response-5255 Tue, 07 Nov 2006 17:38:58 Scrivs 5255 <p>Yeah we went with Zen Photo for our gallery and its simplicity is appealing, but we also are going to have to do some customizing to the code to add a couple of things. </p> http://decaflon.com/technology/notes/432/p/1/#response-5246 Tue, 07 Nov 2006 17:10:19 Anonymous 5246 <p>Zenphoto is my gallery of choice. Simple, it makes sense and is easy to set up. A no-brainer. </p> http://decaflon.com/technology/notes/432/p/1/#response-3162 Sun, 24 Sep 2006 16:46:28 amit 3162 <p>Course there is <a href="http://www.thinkmac.co.uk/instantgallery/">Instant Gallery</a> too but not Open Sourse. </p> http://decaflon.com/technology/notes/432/p/1/#response-3159 Sun, 24 Sep 2006 08:32:47 Griffin 3159 <p>Nice, happy to hear it's working out for you. Since I'm not exactly the sharpest tool in the shed, I really appreciate that using it is simple but effective. You know, I just want to upload, organize and share some photos man not solve the riddle of the Sphinx, or something like that. Also, I'm a sucker for the word Zen. </p> http://decaflon.com/technology/notes/432/p/1/#response-3150 Sun, 24 Sep 2006 04:58:32 Scrivs 3150 <p>It's definitely working out nice so far. Thanks again Griffin! </p> http://decaflon.com/technology/notes/432/p/1/#response-3145 Sat, 23 Sep 2006 23:26:06 Scrivs 3145 <p>Ah yes, I heard about Zenphoto a while ago and made a note to check it out, but of course I make notes all the time and lose them so thanks for reminding me Griffin. </p> http://decaflon.com/technology/notes/432/p/1/#response-3144 Sat, 23 Sep 2006 22:39:31 Griffin 3144 <p>There's <a href="http://www.zenphoto.org/">Zenphoto</a> which I set up on my domain just because I was curious. It's a very simple install and using it is a breeze and a joy, thus the Zen I suppose. I don't use it all that often as I'm not much of a photographer but I've been happy with it. Not sure if it would work with your needs but it could be worth a look. </p> http://decaflon.com/technology/notes/432/p/1/#response-3143 Sat, 23 Sep 2006 21:25:27 Scrivs 3143 <p>Can anyone recommend any quality photo gallery applications for a website? What I am looking for:</p> <ul> <li>PHP so I can hack the code a bit if needed</li> <li>CSS so I can customize it to the site</li> <li>Fairly lightweight. I don't need anything heavy as it will only be part of the site.</li> <li>Open Source would be nice</li> </ul> <p>Any help would be greatly appreciated. </p>
