PHP Gallery Software


Question

Hi there.

I'm looking for some web gallery software to host on my server. It'll be used for personal use only, but should include being able to show thumbnails / smaller versions of the images on third party sites / forums etc...

Anyone know of any good software for this?

Thanks.

You will need an image hosting software/script for that. Google is your friend.

I know I will - that's what I asked for?!

I have googled...nothing really that fits the bill has revealed itself though.

Maybe I fail at googling?

Gallery2 is the only image gallery script I'd recommend using. Easy to setup and it's pretty clean.

I haven't used it in awhile (I just rely on WordPress builtin gallery functionality) but for on the fly thumbnail creation, you can use timthumb. It also accepts outside URLs so you can use Flickr, Picasa, etc (although you do have to whitelist.)

If you want us to help you, you need to provide more info about your server and programming language such as PHP, ASPX, Apache, Linux, Windows, etc.

That's why I have no idea what you use on your server which I suggested you to look up on Google.

Try to look up on Google and search for 'image hositng script php' or if you use aspx, then use aspx instead of php.

Simple. There are so many hosting scripts all over the internet including free and commercial versions.

If you want an easy way to search, then go to hotscripts.com ... they have scripts, tutorials, etc. even the forums.

Or you can actually take the time to read the thread you're replying to. He included "PHP Gallery Software" in his thread title. That's descriptive enough.

I mean, considering I was able to recommend something to him he surely didn't have poor forum etiquette. However, you on the other hand...

I use ZenPhoto on my site, super easy to set up and get going, nice and clean interface, plenty of themes.

Ohh nice! I haven't even really tried anything in the last few years but that looks really nice OOTB. Love that it uses permalinks too! :)

Forget Gallery2 hougtimo, go with Zenphoto :p

Yeah I would have to say F for your google-fu -- common issue around here to be honest so don't feel too bad ;)

But you clearly mention PHP in your title ;) As to linux or windows not sure why that would matter.

I would +1 for the Gallery line, take a look at 2 and 3 lines http://gallery.menalto.com/ and see if those meet your needs.

As to allowing access from other servers to images on your server -- that could come down to your webserver settings and allowing hotlinking or not, etc. I don't see how that would really be a function of the gallery software?? No need for any software to allow serving of images to other locations to be honest - just direct links to your image files http://yourdomain.tld/imagename.jpg for example

Are you wanting something like imageshack?? There are copy scripts to provide that sort of thing -- again your failure to correctly use your google-fu for imageshack clones http://www.scriptcopy.com/imageshack-clone-script/

As already mentioned good place to find this sort of thing is hotscripts.. I see like 594 scripts for image galleries

http://www.hotscripts.com/category/php/scripts-programs/image-galleries/

As to another one off the top of my head that have played with in the past http://coppermine-gallery.net/

A good place to tests these sort of scripts is opensourcecms here you can play with the 11 image galleries they have on line -- this gives you full access into the admin panels, etc. And then the page resets every so many hours.

Try fancybox

Err are you referring to the photo effect made with the jQuery library? That's not a legitimate PHP/MySQL based gallery software. That's more for the visual aspect of how images can be displayed (eg: clicking on thumbnail to view larger in browser.)
