Gallery script

[Andreas]

OK, there are already several integrations (4Images, Coppermine, Photopost), but none really suits my needs.

I'd like to see a gallery script that

seamlessly integrates with vBulletin including style and language
allows users to add comments and rate photos
allows to have different categories and albums
provides thumbnails, medium size images and full view
can read EXIF
has a decent search function
allows the user choose how to sort the images
has image manipulation functions (resize, crop, rotate, etc.)
has decent options/permission settings
can ZIP up a bunch of images for easier download


As there is no good alternative floating around (or did I just miss one?) I am thinking abount starting my own project. But as this will be a lot of work, I somewhat doubt I could do this alone.

Anyone else also interested in this? Any features necessary I missed out?
I've been waiting for EvB Gallery for quite a while, but it doesn't seem like this will hit the market sometime soon :(

Well Photopost can do all but the final one.

care to take your request futher. Allow downloads of zip files(non images) and pdf files also

[Koutaru]

Anyone up for this ;)?

It is a very involded project altho you can *cheat* and spoff a gallery with vBulletin + heavy template modification. I've been thinking about doing something for along time but I have never gotton my site up and don't want to do it unless I have a userbase to test it live.

>.> If you need a userbase, you can be free to use mine. I tried installing 4images but I desparately want the header and footer, all around template wise to be vbulletin's not some other scripts.

Saxaon has one but its $70 per license. It looks pretty good, just concered about a few templates tho.

PhotoPost allows you to download a ZIP file of the images you tag as your "favorites"; we plan to expand this functionality to allow for downloads of galleries as well (when ebanled).

i don't suggest Saxxon's gallery... he is kinda like outside the business for the last months... do no support for each sales... i have received about 16 requests for service on my site in the last 2 months because of guys that have bought Saxxon Gallery, because they were in need of someone that can debug the code that is a real pain...

@MPDev ... (Michael) ... i will finish some tweaks on my latest hacks for Photopost / Reviews and Classified in the next days, so we can have time to build some more functionalities between your tools and vB !!!

I am working on something like this, but not with all those functions, but rather better integrated into the calendar, because the fotos are tied to events.

I don't mind helping if you can use my help and don't have very strict deadlines :)

i was in the middle of coding a gallery but i stopped coding so its just sorta sitting on my compy and since i will be very busy for next few months it will not be picked up. The gallery was one of my first works so the code isnt exactly clean but it was on its way to fully intergrating allowing it to transfer gallery items into posts etc. If anyone is interested in picking up my file and coding the rest(i personally find it a mess of code) just contact me.

Use photopost, it should be do everything you want to have. Only the source-code is not very well done if you want to have clean html-pages, but most people seems not to care about such things. ;-(
The installation could be better supported, but after the tenth installation you will know the tricks ;-)

I've seen a few threads on here about people wanting to reinvent the wheel. Thousands of man-hours went into developing PhotoPost and it does everything on your list: I really don't understand why you'd want to start from scratch. It would be far easier to take PhotoPost and modify it to suit your needs, or hire the PhotoPost developers to do a custom mod for you.

More scripts = better code, re-inventing the wheel is what made vBulletin what it is today ;)

I'm looking for something similar to this too. I've got pictures tied to events as well.

The easier way to go is probably to use vBulletin's existing functions and "fake" a gallery, where forums are categories, threads are images and posts are comments. It can save a lot of time, the only downside is you will have to heavily hack the vBulletin files (rather than create new scripts).

Here's a start. I've got about 10 hours into it now. I plan on adding many functions. Would welcome help.
