Can you recommend the best gallery plugin for me?

Thanks for all these links and suggestions, I’ll try a few of these out.

I had a lot of hesitation about getting started with the galleries… I just created a first one last night with rss_thumbpop. It is not hard once you get started.

Standalone galleries are probably a better idea if you have to manage a large number of photos, such as Yapig or Plogger:http://www.plogger.org</blockquote>

I confirm Plogger is very nice indeed, and easy to integrate into your website

<blockquote>To integrate Plogger into your website, place the following PHP
statements in the HTML document you wish display the gallery:

First line of HTML file -> <code><?php require(“gallery.php”); ?></code>
In HEAD section of HTML -> <code><?php the_gallery_head(); ?></code>
Somewhere in BODY section -> <code><?php the_gallery(); ?></code></blockquote>

I just love it, and it works flawlessly, thanks 1beb for the tip !

While we’re on the topic of galleries, do any of these have really good navigation for multiple thumbnail pages, and also the ability to include a short blurb under each of the pics on the full size image view?

hi there,

is any of these ways able to gimme just a listing of clickable thumbnails of myPicCategory?

should not be that difficult to create a tag like < txp:gallery category=“mycat” >, is it?

Plogger does :-)

OK – ZenPhoto, Plogger, Photostack – they all seem good. Which is the best? For simple galleries who would go with rss_thumbpop or albumpattern? There is also beb_jmrgalleryhack which has a nice javascript image fade-in effect…..

davidm · 2005-10-06 09:08:15

I wouldn’t choose ZenPhoto, too many bugs for me…
Plogger is deadly easy to integrate to a website, and I didn’t test the Photostack Beta yet (but I am sure it’s good)

If you need something “light”, why not use a gallery plugin or a flickr plugin : depends on your needs !

jstubbs · 2005-10-06 09:24:47

Actually for me I use rss_thumbpop on one site, and jmrgallery on the other. beb_jmrgalleryhack is jmrgallery taken further down the road. They both work well, and if one does not have a lot of photos its the best way to go. I used albumpattern once and found it difficult but it could have changed.

Now I have a client who is using PhotoPost (ugghh!!) and I am currently implementing a new design and backend in TXP. I was looking at alternatives to PhotoPost, since it would be preferable to spend less time administering the site (TXP admin, PhotoPost admin, phpBB2 admin etc) and more time adding content.

Client did not like the Gallery or Cooppermine look (they are a bit heavy), although I think Gallery2 is pretty good. Any other ideas I may have missed?

A gallery that is XHMTL-ok would be good, oh, and with a PhotoPost export utility. Am I dreaming that this is possible! ;-)

davidm · 2005-10-06 10:25:12

From what you say, I’d advise to look into blogcms which is nothing more than Nucleus + PunBB + Singapore + DocuWiki or else have a look at bitweaver which can do the same things but with integrated authentification :-)

jstubbs · 2005-10-06 10:54:57

Didn’t know about those CMS systems. Took a look and its not for me. Thanks anyway. Its easy enough to link to a gallery or forum outside of TXP. Only remaining issue would be how easy it is to change the templates to suit the site design.

davidm · 2005-10-06 11:08:20

Well it depends if you need a single auth for the backend, visual integration is relatively easy via CSS, just have to edit templates and you’re done :-)

jstubbs · 2005-10-06 11:27:52

Yes not so difficult. Any experience with Gallery or other equivalent image gallery? Gallery 1 was not the easiest to change, and PhotoPost made it difficult. Is there another good gallery out there? In this thread I have discovered quite a few I did not know about.

the_new_guy · 2005-10-06 15:37:47

rss thumbpop just isn’t doing the trick. If anyone can recommend a gallery, or install a gallery for me drop me a line websitepartnershotmail.com

I’ll pay someone to sort this out for me.

jstubbs · 2005-10-07 13:33:40

davidm – did you install plogger inside your textpattern? I get errors like:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: the_gallery_head() in /textpattern/publish/taghandlers.php(1528) : eval()’d code on line 1

I have the require file in my default page like so:

<code><txp:php> require(“http://mysite.com/plogger/gallery.php”); </txp:php></code>
