Which photo gallery is best for vbulletin?

[jderouen]

We've been using Gallery http://gallery.menalto.com/ but, as far as I can tell, there's no way to integrate it into vbulletin. I want integration, and am willing to switch photo galleries (and pay for them) to get it. But which one is best?

I'm looking at:

PhotoPlog
VBPic
PhotoPost

People on my forums use the gallery for all sorts of things, including eBay auction, posting in the forum (of course!) etc. It gets a LOT of use, so I need something robust that'll withstand having thousands of images.

Any advice you can offer would really be appreciated!

Thanks,
Joe

I'd like to hear opinions on this as well, since we're at that stage of board development.

Thanks

personally i'd go with photoplog because, its free, has great intergration and the design is beautiful

I guess it depends on what you're looking for.

PhotoBlog doesn't seem like it would have worked for our forum. We wanted User Picture Hosting. In otherwords, we wanted each user to have a gallery, not a gallery with categories that users can post to.

We're using the mod: "User Image Hosting" that can be found on this board.

That's what our needs are as well....

So you can't have user-only galleries with PhotoPlog? What about with PhotoPost?

you can have user galleries w/ photopost pro and vbgallery. i have both and i personaly like vbgallery better. its cheaper does everything i need a gallery to do and adding things like images to forumhome already included out of the box.

im assuming the pro version is more because it can stand alone or intergrate w/ other forum software. vbgallery is for vbulletin only.

another thing i like about vbgallery is it uses the vb template system so it can be modified and act different on each skin.

pro and vbgallery are offered at photopost. you gotta dig in the threads over there to find the link to purchase vbgallery. i think its in the announcments forum.
