The gap in the market for a good gallery cms for photographers

[devaintfire]

Anyone else think there's a need for a really simple yet powerful solution for this market? I'm currently trying to convert this to GetSimple but find I am stuck with several problems (unable to automatiacally crop thumbs for example).

try pixelpost, it is a photoblogging-software, http://www.pixelpost.org/

http://www.gallerycms.com/

It's flash based, but the admin panel seems to resemple the "simpleness" of GetSimple (in my opinion)

Here are some others to test: http://php.opensourcecms.com/scripts/sho...0Galleries

This and more is coming soon: I18N Gallery, the ultimate gallery plugin!

I am also not satisfied with the currently available gallery plugins, thus I am now working on a new plugin:

• supports multiple galleries (like GSgallery)
  
• supports selection of images from data/uploads and any sub directories
  
• supports sorting of images (like the pages in I18N Navigation navigation structure)
  
• supports the I18N plugin, i.e. multiple languages
  
• supports a title, a description and tags per image
  
• supports filtering of a gallery by one or multiple tags
  
• displays galleries in multiple ways (e.g. fancybox, prettyPhoto, s3Slider)
  
• displays thumbnails similarly to http://www.rcosstickphoto.com/ (but can be overridden with CSS)
  
• allows to set any thumbnail and image sizes (per gallery)
  
• automatically scales images according to these sizes
  
• supports a gallery preview (like view for Edit Page)
  
• all files reside in standard folders (images in data/uploads, thumbnails in data/thumbs, ...)
  
• supports full undo after saving, deleting, renaming galleries
  
• no Flash
  
• no database required
  
• ...
  

Let me know, if any (reasonable) feature is missing...

Martin, as soon as this plugin is out, I will test it,
I get thge feeling the time for photogaleries in GetSimple has come ;=)

Beside the 2 existing plugins today Chris announced his plugin and now your's to come as well.

I am excited as I am a strong photographer, doing exhibitions and photowork as well !

Nice plugin and easy to use!

As appetizer for the I18N Gallery plugin I have documented the features, uploaded some screenshots and created example image galleries on http://mvlcek.bplaced.net/get-simple/i18ngallery/ and its sub pages.

Neat! I like that you can choose different JS plugins to display gallery (and not forced to just use thumbnails and lightboxes)

The I18N Gallery plugin is released.
For more details see the I18N Gallery topic or my home page!

Realy interesting. Was missing a good gallery plugin and the one I used seems to be less actively worked on.


btw. I wonder why there's never a screenshot shown on the plugin page (theme pages show screenshot)

Just tried to add an image to the description. It works, but is not scaled automatically. And of course you have to host the image somewhere.

@ccagle8: can you add a rule like the following to the CSS of Extend to automatically scale big images:

... img { max-width: 100%; }

In my opinion it would be better to have a screenshot where you can click on and get an (Tickbox?) image popup.
You often can't see enough on those small screenshots.
