Hey folks! A friend of mine introduced me to some pretty amazing web software called 'Gallery'. It's a full-featured, *free* photo gallery package that you can administer from a browser, has accurate hit counting, allows comments, nested albums, photo printing, automatic thumbnails, and previews... the list just goes on and on. As long as you're comfortable setting up a web server with PHP and various other utilities, it's a breeze to install. Check it out! "//www.menalto.com/projects/gallery"

If you'd like to see it in action (shameless plug) you can look at mine at "//www.pft.com/~mousie/gallery/". I've hacked at the code a little to change the layout, but you can get a pretty good idea of how it works.

I hope to see other peoples' galleries up soon!

Hi, I found the Gallery to be a bit heavy on code and the template system a bit cumbersome to modify. I use coppermine //www.chezgreg.net/coppermine/

If you are willing to spend some money ($80, I believe), Photo Post is an excellent option. A somewhat modified version of this is what what runs the Photocritic galleries, and I am very happy with it.

Photo post features Bulk uploads, commentary, ratings (although I don't use the two latter), and seemingly very very fast.

Not sure if anyone's interested, but I wrote a perl script to show a web gallery from directories on my web server. You can see an example here:

//www.calcaria.net/wa

It's not very sophisticated, but being able to just upload files into directories to publish them is very convenient, I find.

If anyone wants the source, let me know.

Pekka Saarinen has written some nice software, The Exhibit Engine, which is suitable for small (to medium) sets of images. Without any actual experience with it, I can only assume that it provides only a single layer of access to groups of photos (exhibits).

Interestingly enough, I made one of those in PHP.

Found a pretty bad security problem with yours, though.. I'll email you.

I use both coppermine and gallery.

I like coppermine the best, it was quite easy to inegrate it with an phpBB2 forum. And it is easy to make your own styles.
