Gallery and User Registration

[malebeauty]

I'm looking for a simple gallery script, that also has user registration and confirmation function to limit the picture viewing to members only.

There's a good and comprehensive gallery script at http://gallery.sourceforge.net/ - there's a bit of work involved in setting it up but once you've done that you can assign permissions to users and mark albums as private etc.

I use it on my site - see http://www.guru.net.nz/gallery

Cheers,

This looks like EXACTLY what I would like to have, but "a bit of work" that you mention... is this something that should be left to experienced PHP gurus (I've never done it before) or do you think a beginner is likely to be able to read the docs and muddle through? Your album is great - one of the best implementations of a gallery I've ever seen.

No..it's not that hard. Here's another that's even easier in my opinion.

Gallery (http://gallery.menalto.com) is not hard to set up at all.

I am part of the dev team for Gallery G2, if you have any questions just give a shout. G2 looks like it will be available in the next month. Yeah! G1.x.x is a flat file based system, G2 is a mysql based system. G2 will have an importer from previous releases.

Jade Dragon -

But . . . if G2 is mysql based, we will likely have problems here. I have moved almost everything off mysql to flat files (only one page left in mysql). I tried a mysql driven site here when I started with Powweb (7 months ago) and had to back out of that idea due to mysql down time. One of the things I liked about Gallery when you recommended it to me (thanks again - love it) was that it was flat file driven.

Will G2 have a flat file option? Or will us powwebers be stuck using an old version if we want to stay up and running?

G2 is going to be Mysql. And I know that there is another flat file version also in the works. This one will be incorporating my Skinning system with improvements. You will be able to change the skin and layout per album or globally. Once the developer(s) are done with the UI, I will be sent the code to develop the templates and skins.

I do not know the actual release date for either version.
