Creating Gallery - same image in multiple galleries?

Hi,

I have seen some gallery programs that use a 'tag' feature where you can add these tags and the image will show in the different galleries i.e.

a photo tagged with dog, house, green would show in the dog gallery, house gallery and green gallery.

Is there any way to do something like this with Dreamweaver CS6?

At present I am having to copy each image and corresponding text into 4 or 5 different galleries or categories and with a few thousand photos it is taking forever on this update of the website.

Any help appreciated.

With a few thousand images and multiple galleries, I would put the info into a database.

I am not sure which way you want to go and your skill level.

As an example, I use this commercial solution https://www.dmxzone.com/go/22900/css-image-gallery-from-dynamic-image-source

There are also plenty of tutorials on the web to achieve the same, using PHP, MySQL and JS. For instance, you could follow PHP CRUD Tutorial (part 1) and apply the display code to the Lightbox or similar.

Hi, thank you very much for the quick reply.

4.25am here and i'm still trying to get my head round this problem.

A database would be ideal for the photos but I have no idea how to even create one through dreamweaver - access databases I am ace at but html/php type ones I have no clue (never heard of them til now).

With the image gallery is this the right one: https://www.dmxzone.com/go/22896/css-image-gallery-2

Also my main images are only 170x170 and looking on that website it does not seem to give an option to change the style from the thumbnail slider with large main photo type set-up to a basic page of photos all 170x170 or even a hover-over thumbnail to show the 170 ones (hope that makes sense).

ADDED - forgot to add my experience level is very basic - I can amend basic php and create sites through dreamweaver but nothing too fancy.

Also, can this gallery be embeded into a dreamweaver template page?

The website I am trying to update is www.hair dye galley.co.uk (without spaces) and currently need to copy and paste photos in each section e.g. pink hair, guys hair, curly hair, new photos, faded photos etc

Have a nap first. I'll do a bit of digging around in the meantime.
