Looking for a Photoalbum....

I'm tiring of downloading and installing photo-album modules that either don't work or when they do generally lack what I'd regard as essential.

So I'm asking for recommendations- the module I'd like should have

*categorised "album pages",
*user uploads,
*make thumbnails
*display a thumbnail catalogues to visitors
*display captions and text BELOW or above the thumpbnail or picture, not alongside where there is seldom enough room.

Anyone know of something that might fit the bill?

TIA

xcGallery RC 1.1 would cater your needs i think.

I'm using xoopsgallery on my next site. It seems to have the functionality I need and closly matched what you have stated above. You can see it over at http://family.stewdio.net where I have just completed making the categories. The site should be going live for next week as a gift to my family for Christmas. Please ignore the incompleteness of the site as it is still under development, and it's content will be purly made by the members, not me.

Anyway, hopefully this will demonstrate to you how I managed to achieve the similar goals we have.

Cheers

Hi Stew,

Thanks for the input.

I had tried xoopsgallery, but I didn't like some of the display behaviours. Or at least I wasn't able to get my head around configuring it.

Anyway, see my post above.

Any idea why anonymous users can't be given access to images, despite all the settings indicating that they should have access?

TIA

Do you really want anonymous users to be able to upload images, finalfiler? That's pretty risky. They could upload photos that you and your users would find very offensive.

I'd like them to be able to view the photos in the gallery, especially the 'scrolling' block of images.

AFAIK the settings indicate that this can be done. However, the reality seems different.

have you tried xcgallery, the modularisation of Coppermine? It can be found at www.myxoopsforge.de somewhere.
