    hi,
    i've been looking around for a image gallery for one of my sites, mainly on sourceforge, and i haven't quite found a gallery that i instantly liked. I'm looking for something that's out of the box as possible. Any recommendations?
    My server runs php/mysql. I have found a nice flash/xml image gallery but i'd prefer not to go down that route if i can avoid it.
    Cheers lads.

    I've been checking some out out of curiosity.

    Try Coppermine it seems pretty good.

    Coppermine is good, but I've switched back to Gallery since they released version 2.

    What packages does your server have exactly (GD,ImageMagick , or NetPBM)
    I'd recommend Coppermine, TBH. A doddle to set up, and lots of features (Works with 'only GD' as well if needs-be. Ed-so does Gallery since v2...)

    Plogger is a good option, it is very easy to setup

    Anyone have a mirror for Simple PHP Gallery?

    I want something as simple as that and the main SPG site is down (or at least it was on last check)

    Plogger looks very nice. I used Coppermine before and i didn't like it. It's a bit over kill for my needs

    A lot of the features in plogger such as comments etc can be removed and it turns out to be a very simple solution. An example of a simple version of it in use can be seen here

    Thanks

    I'd agree with the overkill stuff; plus I always found coppermine bizzarely confusing. I say bizzare because you'd think a gallery would be one of the simplest things to navigate, yet I've never found it to be intuitive.

    I run Simple PHP Gallery (SPG) where I have galleries. Easy enough to modify, no database to worry about and it's a doddle to modify.

    I wrote a simple modification to show BBCode with each image for the "New Gathering Cards" gallery. I also intend to integrate it with my personal site as it looks as though it should be simple enough to modify for that purpose.

    i installed plogger and at first go it's not doing what it should do. It's got this annoying 2 tier menu system. If you want to see a group of pictures you need to setup a "collection" and then an "album".....why can't you go straight thru to the album? if you go to their online demo you should be able to see what i mean!

    Cult the gallery you have...is that this one (Simple Picture Gallery Manager) and if it is which template do you use?

    CuLT old bean... any chance you have the files needed for SPG lying around?

    It seems that the original author's site has fallen out of contract, which is rather surprising.

    This is the site I was referring to, but it just has a generic placeholder template now.

    I don't have the original version afaik, but here's my modifed version.

    Danké

    For some reason it won't allow me to post a comment (I swear I put the right authorisation code in) so I'll just thank you here

    np, I've been mucking around with mod_rewrite the last couple of days and it's played hell with the comments system.

    Edit: thanks for pointing that out, fixed now ;)

    You can link directly to the album, rather than to the collection.
