Re: Web Galleries & Slideshows.
Interesting. I'm working on moving from Coppermine (which was *way* more than I needed and wound up being too complicated to upload photos) to a custom script. I have a local Windows Scripting Host script that copies the photos to a temporary location (so the originals aren't touched), rotates them based on EXIF info (using ImageMagik), resizes them (ImageMagik) and generates thumbnails (ImageMagik again). Then the script mass FTPs them to my server.
On the server, an ASP page reads the "album" folder and uses each subfolder as a gallery section. The thumbnails and photos are displayed using JQuery and the Interface Elements plugin. I've even put in bookmarking capabilities (something many AJAX apps lack).
It's still a work in progress, but you can check it out at: »www.levinephotos.com/Redesign/
If anyone is interested in the automation script, I'd be happy to post it. |
