Hi,

I've been playing with extgallery and don't see the ability to have public and private galleries. I'd like a recommendation on XOOPS galleries and am looking for the listed options. I know I won't get all the features I want but a recommendation towards something with many would save me from reviewing each and every gallery module.

THANKS in advance for the help, CM

Required Features

1) Community(public) and Private(personal) galleries. If you could restrict access to personal galleries to someone with a password that would be great.

2) Photo Ratings and Comments - By members and editors. It'd be nice to have contest galleries where only a select group could rate a photo.

3) Approval Required - Some Cateogories or Albums need approval before a pic is posted.

4) Hyperlinks - A link to albums by user x, top-rated photos or a specific picture. It be nice if a member could share his album or a picture in a post.


Nice to have Features

5) Image based watermarks It would be nice to include a small logo on top of picture to indicate where they were downloaded from.

6) Automatic thumb generation.

7) Easy management of photos For example - delete all photos by user in category x.

8) Slide shows.

9) Darken the browser when viewing one pic One of my managers likes this effect he saw in some sites.

10) Notifying members Some members would like to 'watch' a gallery for new content.

I would recommend xcGal

I use it on all my websites,

It has most of the features u mentioned, including "SlideShow", which is quite amazing really. Autothumbs, batch uploads, private/public albums, ratings, comments, ..etc..

It has other stuff that I havent checked or don't know how to use, I dont think it has water marks, but I might be wrong.

Regards

extgal is very nice - although it doesnt have all the features you need... yet

Is xcGal the same as xcGallery? Thanks.
