PHP image gallery uploader for client website?

[whitediamondvid]

I am trying to find a php image gallery uploader so that once I install the code into my clients website, they can upload via the web their pictures to the gallery, I've googled and come up empty. It would need to look nice, not clunky (think flowchart gallery on the mac).

How can this be done. Hoping to buy software and install it, let the program do the work.

Thanks,

Stefan

I am not aware of any off the shelf software  as you describe, but I am thinking is should be a fairly straightforward project.

1. Create a form for your client to upload images, alt  and text descriptions into a database.

2. Take some off the shelf photo gallery, wrap the code in a "do while" loop, call the images and text from the database.

Take a look at the products at web assist.com and DMXzone.com. They both offer extensions and other solutions that not only create the gallery, but offer the upload function, auto create thumbs, resize the images, etc. It's interesting, if you're using Wordpress, there are all sorts of free plugins that do this, but all you're going to get for free for regular website are bits and pieces that to have to assemble and build yourself.

For Wordpress, try the nextGen Gallery. very flexible with uploading, creating galleries and including them in posts and pages. I did have a problem with installation when using the Wordpress plug in auto install, it seemed like to either installed something else or only a part of the plug in. I ended up downloading the package from the developers site, in zipping then uploading it to the plug ins folder manually. Worked great after that.

Thank you, going to give this one a try... the screenshots look amazing.

However, 10 people say it worked, 13 people say it didnt. Do you think this is because of the install process, to download from developer first?
