New Gallery
From unsociable
Call for Simpler Galleries
We used to support gallery, it just seemed to lose it's way though. After being frustrated with gallery I (psykoz) decided to try upgrading to gallery2. I was hoping a new version would mean catching up to current era development, simplifying code, less complication. Absolutely not! Gallery2 was even more bloated than it's v1 predecessor and left us uninterested in actually using it.
Zenphoto
A friend of mine explained to me that zenphoto is where it's at with todays galleries. I installed it on January 29th, 2008. So far we seem to be really content with it. It supports folder based albums, it has simple cache refresh links so you can prune your database on demand. It's UI is simple, for both the administrators and viewing audience.
However! Don't let me fool you into thinking it's the end all of galleries.
- It does not support multiple users [maybe what they consider a feature?]
- Occasionally has some php errors that are hard to track down
- Is still in early development
