| 658553 | 2008-04-14 01:12:00 | Hi I'm looking to host a photo album on my server. There is a few free php photo album on the net, but not sure which one is good, ease of use? easy to manage? nice presentation ...etc. I would like to have the following features. Thumbnails generated automatically. Photo will rotate automatically. Able to set different passwords for different folders/albums. Thanks in advance. :thanks |

| 658554 | 2008-04-14 01:27:00 | I would recommend Gallery (http://gallery.menalto.com/) it will do everything you want to do plus more. Although I would stick to "Gallery 1" (I prefer it over to Gallery 2 due to its looks and speed wise, plus with Gallery 1 you don’t need a database to run it, which you need with Gallery 2), You can download "Gallery 1"here: codex.gallery2.org (from the bottom right hand side of that page) Hope this helps :) |

| 658558 | 2008-04-14 04:26:00 | I would go with Coppermine (http://coppermine-gallery.net/) it does most of what you want | Morgenmuffel (187) | ||

Thanks in advance. :thanks Also depending on who you host with, or the software on your server, some hosts supply you with Fantastico, which allows you to automatically install open source software easily for you to test out to see it it suits your needs. For example my host gives you. 4Images Gallery Coppermine Photo Gallery Gallery |
