Guys, I've been using WP to run one of my sites, which is very image heavy. I'm currently using d13gallery, which is fantastic, but I'm looking for something more powerful. Here's what I currently have: d13gallery allows me to create folders, dump my image files into them, then it creates thumbs for me to embed in my pages for visitors to click on for the full image. Here's what I need to get: a gallery maker like d13gallery that will allow me to open a page with the full image, but here's the important point -- I need a plug in that will allow me to CUSTOMIZE the page that opens when someone clicks on the thumb. What I need this for is simple, I would like to put banners on the pop-up page to capitalize on all the bandwidth I'm giving away. Anyone got an idea what plug-in I can use to accomplish this? Or is this too complicated for a plug-in, and I'd need a software? Any advice would be helpful. Thanks.
I don't know if it fits your needs but you should definitely check out Gallery 2. It's a full script, but there is also a plugin to use with WP that allows you to embed galleries into your pages. I'm just installing it now so I don't know yet how flexible it is, and if you can place individual pics on customized pages. The install does take awhile. I recommend only uploading the basic G2 files, then going back and adding extra modules when you need them.
