Good evening all,

I recently bought the latest version of vBulletin and am looking for a CMS and Media Gallery for my website. Ultimately I want all 3 to integrate so 1 login works for all.

My current thoughts are:

CMS

vBadvanced CMPS info can be found here (http://www.vbadvanced.com/products.php?do=productinfo&p=4)
Subdreamer info can be found here (http://www.subdreamer.com/)

Media Gallery

Albinator info can be found here (http://www.albinator.com/product/index.php)
PhotoPost info can be found here (http://www.photopost.com/)
PhotoKorn info can be found here (http://www.telekorn.de/cms/front_content.php)

My current thoughts are to go with Subdreamer as it can operate without vBulletin running (where vBadvanced is a little more dependant on the forum). And it seems perfect for what I need, it has great support and more plugins become available for download regularly.

The Gallery is really where I am stuck. Albinator seems good for what I need, yet so does PhotoPost. PhotoKorn also sounds excellent however I would need to wait for the Pro edition to be released before I get vBulletin integration.

I would want to have mainly images on show, then a thumbnail which would link to a file download or streaming video/audio. Also the ability to display comments regarding each image and stats would be favoured yet not neccessary.

If anyone has any better CMS/Media gallery recommendations or experience with the scripts please let me know. Cost isnt really a problem as long as I get a product that fits my needs and doesnt require lots of code hacking to make integration with vBulletin.

Well after abit of testing, im positive that I will stick with Subdreamer as a CMS. I have also decided to not bother with PhotoPost and am highly considering PhotoKorn pro (not released until around September though).

Anyone have any other commercial/free media gallery scripts that would be worth looking into?

Have you looked at Mambo (http://www.mamboserver.com)? It has a ton of support and add-ons.

Check out Coppermine? I'm not sure if its got what you need but it looks really good.

Is there one that TRULY integrates with vb. Which will work with different styles and use the same header and footer as your vb board?

http://www.photopostdev.com is a good example of PhotoPost integrated with vB3.

A comprehensive list of features for PhotoPost can be found at:
