PHP Image Gallery..any suggestions?

Im looking to implement a (free or low cost) image gallery that uses PHP and MySQL.

In my own searching I found coppermine, but was looking for some suggestions from other DP members.

Thanks

 

Well, I don't know what your definition of low cost is but PhotoPost is a good one. If you are looking for integration with a vBulletin forum, you may want to check out the gallery software at www.vbadvanced.com.

 

For 59 bucks I highly reccommend this one as it is fully intergratable into your existing design.

It also has bulk upload / auto resize/thumbnail with zip files wich is very handy.

 

ohh, there are pleanty of.

I personally use smartor album, you can check out it in use at my site www.photographersstop.com (go to album)

Coppermine is good, but somehow I didn't go for it

There is gallery, gallery2

There will be more and let me know if you are looking for any specific feature.

 

have you tried simpleGal http://robm.me.uk/projects/simplegal/, its free and auto creates thumbnails etc.

a demo is here -> http://www.teennonsense.com/funny-pics/

 

I will recommend PhotoPost the best gallery software (can run individually as well integrate with popular forum software)

You can see our site live in action here: TechArena Photo Gallery

 

I have used coppermine, and gallery2. I prefer gallery2 - it just seems a little less clunky interface-wise. However Gallery2 is still at a release canidate version, so the documentation is not so good.

Idle speculation - Gallery2 has a brighter future. I do not know anything about the other package mentioned in this thread but I might check them out myself.

 

Thanks for the heads up...I think I will try Gallery2. I took a quick look at the site and features, and it seems that it will be officially released in a few weeks with some great features.

 

I spent the weekend playing with Gallery2 and think it offers amazing potential. I was especially pleased to see how active the forums were and how many contributors have already updated mods to work with the new version.

 

I've been using coppermine for a long time and I think it is pretty good. Does the job and all that but IMHO there is one negative side. Customizing the layout is a real pain in the butt. So I recommend everything else than Coppermine

 

Ah yes, now I remember why I switched to gallery2 in the first place

 

In my due diligence, I found an article comparing Gallery2 and Coppermine.

Wow, very nice! May I ask which phpBB portal you are using for your front page? I really like it.

 

After MANY hours of searching, I found it.
