Topic: Photo gallery site examples

[Ray Mitchell]

Dear All

Does anyone have a photo gallery set up on a site (sme server) using Gallery or Yappa that they are happy to show us ?

I would like to make a photo gallery site but would like to see what it will look like first. Could you please suggest some link(s) ?

Thanks
Ray Mitchell

Feel free to look at mine:

http://gallery.brummell.net

Mine is in an IBay, not /opt like Dan's HowTo does.  It made it more difficult to setup but the final result suits me better.  By posting this here the gallery is going to take quite a few hits, so be patient, it's just a weeee cable connection.

Thanks Terry. I had a quick look, seems quite neat.
No real problems with speed at all.

Anybody have a YAPPA site to recommend ?

I'm running Gallery and it's GREAT!

You can check my albums at either:

Inside PHP-Nuke
-------------------------
http://hale.dyndns.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=gallery&file=index&include=albums.php

or

Stand-Alone
------------------
http://hale.dyndns.org/modules/gallery/

I've even installed a Postcard Plugin to use any of the images as cards.

I forgot to mention that my site IS still on a Dial-Up connection so the speed is NOT reflective of the Software...

Would you mind sharing the additional steps you discovered in order to use an ibay for a gallery install?

[Ray Mitchell]

Dear Terry
Yes, I would also be interested in how to instal Photo gallery to an ibay. Any comments appreciated.
I will be going away for a few weeks holiday tommorrow but will follow up with you when I return in late January.

Thanks
Merry Xmas & Happy New Year to all

You can start here http://www.swerts-knudsen.dk/sme.htm#How%20to%20Install%20Gallery%201.3.2%20in%20an%20Ibay%20on%20SME%205.5 with a HowTo on doing the install.
Then, 1 thing he missed is changing the IBay's "AllowOverride" setting.  You can see how I did that here http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=15874.msg61284#msg61284 .

It took some playing, and extreme patience, but in the end it worked.

Here's a Gallery install, modified a bit:

http://www.gruntville.com/casegallery/albums.php

Question:  unless you're wanting to run multiple instances of gallery, why would you want to run it in an ibay?  Seriously, I want to know.  What's the benefit?

[Terry Brummell]

Michael, here's my reasons:
1. A nicer looking URL http://gallery.brummell.net vs. http://www.brummell.net/gallery by using Virtual domains.
2. Multiple owners
3. Quota's
4. Easier management, if I don't want a gallery anymore I delete the ibay, it removes everything I added, no need to go to the command line.

Sure...

And I have a yappa at:
http://bisp.libi.dk/foto

I like Yappas simplicity but miss the slideshow feature.
I have also made 2 little enhancements to prevent it from choking when heavily loaded. They have been fed back to Frederico (the author of Yappa) but he has not yet released them.
Tell me if you're intrested.

Hi Terry,

I noticed my name and was wondering what the allowOverride would add ? My Gallery works quite well after the install was done as my HowTo indicates. I deliberatly did not want any templates and all the other "diffucult" stuff.

Enlighten me please

Happy New Year.

Without modifing that setting I found gallery did not work correctly.  Specifically it didn't work correctly when using a "Nested Album".  Once I changed that the nested albums worked fine. SME 5.5 with updates...

[Boris Mann]

Specifically, without changing the httpd.conf line to "Allow Options FileInfo" for the gallery ibay, gallery has to use "long urls" instead of /myalbumname.

Specifically, here is what the .htaccess of Gallery looks like:

php_value post_max_size 20971520
php_value upload_max_filesize 20971520
php_value magic_quotes_gpc off
