[request] Manage galleries with too many pics
I’m developing a site for a pub that is powered by TXP (RC3), the main question today is … wich gallery is best suited to manage 2 or 3 new galleries per week with around 20 or 30 pics in each one?
The main goal is to be able to manage the galleries trough the admin area, but as I see the plugins (I tried a few) just let you upload one image at time and that is a nightmare to maintain that kind of galleries!
I’ve tried Simple Gallery => http://relativelyabsolute.com/spg/ and Gallery Script => http://www.stadtaus.com/ as standalone scripts, both are simple and easy to integrate to your layout, maybe there’s a way to use it with TXP … not sure.
Any plugin to show images from a folder or something like that?
How to manage and integrate this kind of gallery?
Thx in advance!

Have you tried photostack
you can see greyfodders site where it is nicely integrated.

Thanks Soulship. I’ll give a chance to Photostack.
About Flickr, well I prefer to use just scripts installed on the client host and if everything is on the same admin panel … better!
I’m going to install Photostack right now, if everything works ok I’ll post it here later.

Actually Greyfodder just amailed me back he is using both still. You will find this of some use maybe and you might just want to look through the photstack forum there to. Let me know how it goes. I have been planning on doing this as well for a personel site and have yet to find the time.

Well, Photostack seems to work good for me but I’ve got a little trouble:
I’m developing a site locally (WinXP + Apache + PHP + Perl etc) and can’t Login to the admin folder!
Guess there’s some cookies trouble but I don’t know how to solve this.
Any help?
Thx

I’m assuming that you’re talking about not being able to login to the admin section of Textpattern. If so, using phpmyadmin, browse the txp_user table and edit the password field for your user. Make sure that you select the PASSWORD function (drop down to the left of where you type the password).

Sorry, I was talking about the admin section of Photostack, but now it’s solved!
I changed a piece of code in login.php (into organize folder)
This:
setcookie(‘PhotoStack’, submittedhash, time() + 60*60*24*30, ‘/’, ‘.’.$_SERVER[‘HTTP_HOST’]);
was changed to:
setcookie(‘PhotoStack’, submittedhash, time() + 60*60*24*30);
I found that solution trough the Textdrive Forum. I’m not sure if this represent a security risk or something like that, but works ok if you’re doing just a local test before upload your site.
Also, I made the changes suggested by Jon Hicks here => http://forum.textpattern.com/viewtopic.php?id=1928
and works good. It seems that I’m going to use Photostack integrated with Textpattern, but could be nice to have the Photostack administration into the TXP admin panel … just a wish
Thx

I’d just like to add that you don’t have to enter the flickr admin interface when using vdh_flickr. Once you set up your flickr account, you can upload photos using a comfortable windows or mac application. You can tell the application to add all newly uploaded photos to a new set (=photo album).
In the default configuration of vdh_flickr, these photos immediately turn up on your homepage, nothing more to do.
