Which software to use for a gallery website?

Hey,

I am looking to create a photogallery website, but I am not sure which software to use.

I want to be able to create albums, upload unlimited amount of images via FTP, upload images via an uploader tool, let users comment on pics, show the latest and most viewed images, display the gallery statistics, etc.

The sites I heard about are: Coppermine (already used on a previous site, but didn't really like), Zenphoto, Piwigo, Photopost, and 4images.

Does anyone have any more sites I could check out, or any suggestions on which site to use for my photogallery?

Thanks

 

Here are three others not on your list.. that might be worth checking out.

http://gallery.menalto.com/
http://www.plogger.org/
http://www.imagevuex.com

 

Thank you.

Anyone got any suggestions to which are the best gallery sites to use?

 

Hi Mate

Personally I'd recommend Wordpress with an appropriate gallery plugin.

Google 'wordpress gallery theme' to get an idea of the possibilities available.

http://www.tripwiremagazine.com/2012/04/best-wordpress-gallery-themes.html as an example

Good luck

 

I don't think that would be the best option because the gallery website I am going to create will have thousands of photos.

Plus Wordpress is mainly for blogs.

 

You can try also Flash Gallery, if you want. It'll give your website dynamic.

 

I don't really want to use flash on this gallery site, but thanks.

 

For galary drupal is the best.

 

I will check it out, thanks for the suggestion.

 

Plogger is best! And its free!!

 

drupal is blogging software as well.

I'd recommend coppermine.

however, you can test drive several packages at
opensourcecms.com
and selecting the photo gallery tab.

 

here is my newproject
feedlol.com <<< Funny Picture
I was doing them by 5 days for CSS and 28 plugin for this site
If you need to help plz contact to me I also help you or suggest a bit

 

I used coppermine years ago on a site, but never really liked it. I now use wordpress with a gallery plugin (nexus, if I am not mistaken). the site is www.bestworldimages.com, if you want to see how it looks.

 

That's nice, but the only problem is that I would have to watermark the photos myself

 

I'd go with Wordpress!

 

Hi Danaldinho, After reading your all posts I would suggest you to go with Wordpress.

 

I think Drupal is the best option for photo gallery

 

Thought I’d add another option to the list if you’re up for it. Tried a few of the above, but often found them either missing features, ugly or just complicated to use. In the end I ended up with something simple but pretty awesome that I found on the envato marketplace: https://codecanyon.net/item/madesimple-photo-video-gallery-standalone-or-site-addon/8789416?s_rank=32 : MadeSimple Gallery. I used it for my site http://thenomadiclife.com/gallery/ : The Nomadic Life and honestly I love it. Responsive, customizable, and super easy to use. It’s not perfect, but I never found any that were and this does more than most. Hope it helps.
