Photo Gallery - I use SPGM, as found at: http://spgm.sourceforge.net/, it is absolutely excellent, the fella who wrote it supports, it is free, but I am so impressed with it that I did send him some US dinero.

 

I use this on about six sites now.

How fancy do you want it?

I have a simple CGI script I wrote for my gallery.

 

Edit: DOh!

I've got some editing to do on it, now that it has so many pictures in it, mostly cosmetic.

I use True's Image Gallery on my site. You can get the source here.

After using Web Album Generator for sometime I decided I needed a change. WAG, is pretty simple to use except it generates "HTML" pages that I would need to change to get it to do what I wanted. Plus, adding a picture to an existing album was a pain that needed me to edit a number of "HTML" pages.

 

So just in time for my latest update to my photo gallery, I found this thread. I tried three of the "programs" mentioned; Coppermine, Gallery & SPGM. After trying them all, SPGM is the one for me. Here are some of my reasons.

 

Coppermine: Seemed way to powerful for what I needed. It also seems to be sluggish at times and a little to ridged. I have several "albums" on a few sub-domains, and I felt it would take me multiple copies and forever to get it working the way I wanted it to.

 

Gallery: I admit it, I couldn't figure out how to get it installed and gave up.

 

SPGM: I love this one. In less then the time it took me to get Coppermine configured, I had a photo album on-line with SPGM. After you get SPGM uploaded, all you need to do is create a directory with your pictures and their thumbnails in the "gal" directory (BTW, this can be changed) and you have a photo album. To add a picture, just put it and the thumbnail into the album's directory and it is added to album. It is also highly customizable and can be reformatted to fit my needs. As an added bonus, I was also able to get into to work with my sub-domains and multiple photo albums will not be a problem. All I need to do is have copies of the basic setup files on each sub-domain and only have the "brains" installed once.

 

Like jnull, the author of SPGM will be getting a donation from me real soon.

 

When I am finihsed making my changes, I post a link to my new photo albums.

Well I hate to quote my own post, but here is the link I promised: Emily Rose.

 

The streaming video gallery is a MOD I wrote that adds Streaming Video support to a SPGM photo gallery. It can be found at spgm-vid.jhollin1138.com.

Very nice and Emily is adorable.

Does the site have instructions on installing it? I visited the site but couldn't find any instructions. Maybe there's a readme file or users guide as part of the download.

I believe its this that you are looking for.

 

But I think there is a readme file included too.

Thanks. The installation does not look as easy as I would hope. And, I noticed jhollin1138's comment that "I admit it; I couldn't figure out how to get it installed and gave up." I will dig into this deeper and see how it goes.

I really like JAlbum. I'm totally new at this. I've tried SPGM and Coppermine but I really like this. It's very easy to use with some great template options. I think there is one that supports web uploads but most are like SPGM where you design your gallery then upload it to your server.

You don't need to create a gallery to use SPGM. All you really need to do is copy your pictures and thumbnails to a folder, and it generates the gallery.

 

You can, if you like, name your gallery using a text file called "gal-desc.txt" that contains your gallery title. Also, yo can caption your pictures/thumbnails using another text file called "pic-desc.txt" (in the case of SPGM-Vid, it should be called "vid-desc.txt"). Neither are required to actually generate the gallery.

Does anyone happen to have a function using GD to create thumbnails while maintaining their proportions and padded to a fixed resolution? Any of the above opensource scripts happen to do that?

Ok, I figured it out. In case anybody wants to use it someday.

//  Makes thumbnails to a fixed size and uses padding to keep aspect ratio.

function makeThumb($file)
{
$dstWidth = 80;
$dstHeight = 120;
list(, , $type, ) = getimagesize($file);
//1 = GIF, 2 = JPG, 3 = PNG   
if ($type == 2)
 $handle = @imagecreatefromjpeg($file);
elseif ($type == 3)
 $handle = @imagecreatefrompng($file);
elseif ($type == 1)
 $handle = @imagecreatefromgif($file);
elseif (!$handle)
 return false;
else
 return false;

$srcWidth  = @imagesx($handle);
$srcHeight = @imagesy($handle);

if ($srcWidth >= $dstWidth && $srcHeight >= $dstHeight) {
 $newHandle = @imagecreatetruecolor($dstWidth, $dstHeight);

 if ($srcWidth/$srcHeight > $dstWidth / $dstHeight) {
	 $thumbwidth = $dstWidth;
	 $thumbheight = round( ($thumbwidth / $srcWidth) * $srcHeight );
	 $xOffset = 0;
	 $yOffset = round(($dstHeight - $thumbheight) / 2);
 }

	 $yOffset = 0;
 }

 $background = imageColorAllocate($newHandle, 0, 0, 0);
 imagefilledrectangle($newHandle, 0, 0, $dstWidth, $dstHeight, $background);
 
 if (!@imagecopyresampled($newHandle, $handle, $xOffset, $yOffset, 0, 0, $thumbwidth, $thumbheight, $srcWidth, $srcHeight))
