I have a hobby site. I would like users to be able to upload pix of their stuff and label it and then allow others to search by keyword or for me to list the photos by categories. Any direction on a script for that? A bonus would be for it to be able to be joined with a forum (same username, password). Thanks

I have never used coppermine, I will check it out. G2 is really complex. I used G1 for years. I went back to it ater 6 months of g2. I really need people to be able to upload a few pix, tag each one, and write a comment on each. I also would like to be able to link its users to a forum. Thanks
simply to to sourceforge.net and search for "image gallery" and you will find hundreds of free scripts
Hundreds is the problem. You have to wade through 80% which are no longer active and the majority that are only a php image gallery with no other functionality. I am looking to build a site around the ability of a user to upload a couple pics on a specific subject with some commentary.
You can use 4Images , one of the best script for image gallery with lot of templates If you need help in installation , let me know Thanks
