Script Image Gallery Wanted

[!!blue]

I want a simple image gallery script that can allow me to do this:

• show thumbnails (I can create them)
  
• show a title & short caption
  
• allow clickability to view larger version--either pop up or self-page
  
• be dynamically updateable--like it updates the pages by itself when new images are uploaded
  

So... can anybody give me any suggestions? Ideally it would be just a short script I can copy into my own html file; many of the ones I've found have their own templates with skins (ewwee). I wish I knew enough scripting to do one myself

 

thanks,

I recently saw someone link to Photostack which has a really elegant output. I was very impressed with it. My photo gallery is already custom built with movabletype so I won't switch it (putting it together was a lot of work!) but this one seems very nice.

 

The examples page does have some fairly different usages, so....

 

If you want to use Flash I was also incredibly impressed by Airtight which seems fairly easy to implement.

 

One of the most popular programs is

 

Gallery which I believe meets your requirements, the above two may not I haven't looked at them in depth, was simply impressed with their output. =)

 

Because of your requirements (on the fly creation etc) the script is likely to be somewhat complicated, but most of them can be customized if you delve deeply enough.

 

I hope that gets you started. =)

Thanks for the link to Gallery... I'd heard about it but didn't catch my eye.

If none of these are what you want, you could do what I do. It's painful though.

 

I go to www.hotscripts.com and hit up the php image gallery section. (I prefer php to cgi, so I don't even bother with the cgi stuff). I think there's approximately 23 pages; most have examples and a lot of information. Some sound good but stink. =)

 

I used to do this every few months until I worked up my own solution using movabletype. It's not nearly as automated as those scripts, but it works for me. =)

I am going to use Gallery. I didn't catch my eye *before* but now I read more into it and figured it sounded pretty good. I've already installed it

 

thanks again,

Oh! I'm sorry, today appears to be 'one of those days' *blushes*

 

Glad you got it working. =)

Thanks for the links to Airtight Lisa. I don't normally like flash much but that is a good gallery script.

It's not free, but a friend of mine I host uses Arles (http://www.digitaldutch.com/arles/ - $49 single user cost) if you want what appears to be a pretty user friendly program to create image galleries.
