Photo online sharing with DAlbum PHP software
mrbass Photos of family, friends, relatives,
associates.
membo.org over 10,000 photos (back online Sep 2005)
Tips: -- click FullScreen and then Slideshow (looks better)
-- advance to next photo, press ENTER key instead of mouse clicking
Japanese Alphabet Hirgana & Katana [Mincho tiny | big] [Gothic tiny | big]
DAlbum
(GPL) the best IMHO and the one I use for my photo collection.
--easy tree navigation
--recursive indexing for new photos
--generates thumbnails with GD and resized images (default 800x600)
--relatively easy to setup
--GPL (free)
--CSS for easy switching of color themes
--Optional Slideshow capability..easy to add
--built-in EXIF (shutter, camera, date, time details)
I used pbase.com
from April 2000 till September 2003. I left one
gallery up there for an example. Pbase.com is great if you
can't figure out DAlbum and don't want to get your own website. Flickr (sep 2005) is also pretty good, however I still prefer pbase over flickr in the presentation and navigation department.
I looked at a ton of PHP
photo album scripts and these were at the top of my list
but behind DAlbum.
Full
Screen Image Gallery Pro (pro is $20)
Coppermine

Gallery (GPL)

DAlbum modifications ) Thanks to DAlbum, the author, for all
the code and tips.
Only user-modified files are config.php, custom.php, t_index.php,
t_showimg.php and custom.css
I use two of the custom
modifications Slideshow and Display
EXIF info inline.
/*modify custom.css */
/*changes the background when viewing an image to light black and add
slideshow css */
/* Add your custom styles here */
.showImgPane

.slideshow form
{
display: inline;

.slideshow form select

24 CSS themes all24css.zip 88KB for DAlbum released Sep 2005
To use a theme you wish upload them all or just the ones you like to your root dalbum folder where custom.css, main_blue.css, main_cyan.css, etc. currently reside.
change the following in /config/config.php
// Stylesheet to use (check DAlbum main directory *.css files for the possibilites)
$g_sStylesheet="main_normal.css";
change to
$g_sStylesheet="main24themes.css";
Upload custom.css and main24themes.css for that paticular theme.
PHP Developers: if you knew a way for end users to be able to switch themes on the fly that'd be awesome. I'd be more than willing to help out and test. Perhaps with cookie or php sessions.
