Photo Gallery Software

[sartajc]

Im making a Muslim wallpaper site so people can get pics, but frankly i cant find any good gallery system. right now im using coppermine (see wallpaper.muslimonline.org/) but i need something different.

I want something simple that shows the following.

The top will be tabs, kinda like what i have now.

Home will show random and popular and new wallpaper.

Another tab will say 'wallpaper' and thats where ppl can browse wallpapers.

Another tab will say 'avatars' and thatll link to a different subdomain with Islamic avatars.

Another tab will say upload and people can upload pictures without having to sign up. Once they are uploaded i sign into a backend administration panel and approve the ones that deserve to be on the site.

How can i do this? is this possible with coppermine? or should i use Gallery or some CMS? My Joomla homepage (famousmuslims.muslimonline.org) already is like this, but the problem is that is content, not pictures. Can you make Joomla gallery mode?

I think it's possible with coppermine. Try it out. I know coppermine has a lot of functions and if you modify the coding a little, I think it'll fit what you want.

Ya. Coppermine is good. But you might want to have a look at 4images too. I am using it right now on one of my sites and I am very much pleased with it. It has everything you would expect from a Photo Gallery software. And its easy to create custom themes for it though you should be fine with the ones which are already available.

You might be able to do this with Coppermine, like they said. But it may require quite a lot of coding, since I believe Coppermine is in PHP (right?). I guess you could try PHPWebGallery as well, though I haven't tried it yet. The link for that is http://www.phpwebgallery.net .

There are literally thousands of websites offering wallpapers... yet i have rarely come accross any providing moving wallpapers!
Why can't they start using GIF animation and create wallpapers with some movement... instead of dull still images.
If one wants to keep switching pictures of wallpaper then one needs to install something like Webshots software... which nicely eats up system resources...!
It is after all this frustration that I myself took the initiative to make GIF wallpapers that keep changing pictures without any software. Just download the GIF image and set it as the wallpaper. Simple.

and although all i did was make picture-switching wallpapers, will someone with more free time kindly take the initiative to put up some with real motion...?

Very nice site, I am Muslim too, I like this site. Very cool. You just shout make new templates for your site and make banner for your site. You use Gallery in this site and the first way to "burst" your trafic to yuour site is make more cool templates and add your gallery. Good job brother ...:thumbup:
