Photo Album For A Web Site

[Robertbeer]

Hi!

I want to share some pictures with somepeople, the idea is like metcoverart looks, you know, you see a small picture and then you can download the full picture.

Does anyone know how to do it?, wich tools i need, i there a free module to add it to my web site.

Thanks
Robert

The gallery that MetCoverArt uses is called Coppermine Photo Gallery, and it's free, open source software that you can download, install, and use. The skin templates are very easy to customize (I can do it for a small price if you don't know anything about HTML or graphics).

There are other open source galleries available, but I haven't run across any that are as easy to use and customize as Coppermine. There are also a lot of mods available for Coppermine that help to integrate it with other applications, such as forum software.

In case i can't customize it i'll let you know.

Hi!

I downloaded the files, but i have some problems with the MySQL, i'm running windows xP sp2. What else i need to create the tables or to see them like SQL server does?

Thanks

Are you trying to run the stuff on your own computer? It would be easier to install the gallery on your web server and work on it from there, personally I've had nothing but trouble trying to run databases locally.

Which version of XP do you have, Home, Media, or Professional? You will need to have IIS enabled, and I'm not sure if you can do that in Media or Home.

I'm not the best person to help you figure this out, hopefully someone else can help...

Hi!

I use Win xP pro and i have enable the IIS, and yes i was trying to run aplication locally, now i'm doing that on my web server, i habe got in the forums some info.

Just wondering, i upload all the files into my web server, but locally in my computer i can change all templates and all for the galley, correct?

Thanks

Yeah, you should be able to. I would set your gallery's default template (also called a theme) to Classic, then edit it into whatever you want. The graphics, HTML, and CSS are all located in the gallery/themes/ folder. The Classic theme is obviously located in the /classic directory.
