Worked for me
by James A. Chappell - Dec 21st 2004 11:45:41
I replace my cheesy home made php gallery with The Gallery 1.4.4-pl4. It
was easy to install and I've already started customizing the look of my
galleries.
Good job!

should be as easy as Pixory to install
by djones - Aug 1st 2003 12:39:43
Pixory doesn't have as many features, but it's about a billions times
easier to install. I found it impossible to install Gallery on RH 7.3

Gallery is really easy to install, no database backend no real horrible
tool dependencies.
And version 1.4 has really "nice" error messages .-)

Great for management, bad for sharing.
by Joseph Elwell - May 30th 2003 15:55:56
Gallery is a really well rounded application for
managing digital photos. It has one major problem
though. It's terrible for sharing photos. You can't send
links to your friends and family members because the
URLs mask where you really are in a photo album.
Gallery uses session cookies to keep track of where
you are, so when you send a link to your friend of your
favorite photo album page in gallery they'll end up in a
completely different page, and often a different photo
album too.

Thanks for the feedback! The URL issue is a known deficiency in the
product that we plan to fix in v1.3.5 (and will be fixed also in Gallery
2.0)

I realized upon reading my last reply that I should elaborate on this.
Every URL contains the name of the album (so I'm not sure how you're
winding up in a different album -- if you can reproduce that you should
file it as a bug) so your user will always wind up in the right album or at
the right photo. The problem is that we store which page you're on in the
album in the session so if you're looking at page 5 it's got the same URL
as page 1. We're fixing this problem in v1.3.5. Hope that
clarifies things a bit.

The bug I mentioned above was fixed long ago. And this
piece of software has moved on to become the best
Photo storage and sharing platform around.

Great Work
by Snay Trivedi - May 8th 2003 12:49:59
Hey I read that horrible comment left by that last user and felt that it
should not discourage any others who want to tryout this great
product.
I am relatively new to Linux and PHP and it was almost a breeze to setup!
I have it up and running in two days, and it could not be easier to
administor.
Great work again and I cannot wait for 2.0

Sorry to hear that you don't like it. You're correct that you can't
rename the image files and it requires javascript, although it only opens
one window (unless there's a bug).
The good news is that we've fixed all of these problems (and many others
you didn't mention) in Gallery 2.x which is currently pre-alpha. Why don't
you take a look at that and give us feedback on whether that suits your
needs or not.

Best around
by waffull - Sep 7th 2002 21:23:25
I have looked at and tested over a dozen gallery's and this one is by far
the best. The one thing it's lacking is a customizable interface, which I
understand is in the works for G2 (can't wait for that to come out!)
Keep up the good work. You're dedication is amazing!!

Gallery is excellent
by Mike Pendray - Sep 7th 2002 09:46:25
It is a wonderful feeling when you put a picture on the web, and then see
it displayed from a friend's computer.
On some of my web pages I copy previously used code, amend the picture
names, resize the photos to create thumbnails....but the number of photos
is strictly limited. And it takes ages.
Now with gallery pictures I take in the morning can be displayed on the
web that evening. No sweat. Even large numbers.
Add to that a superb slideshow to cycle through the pictures, and multiple
logins, so family photos get seen only by family & friends... it adds up to
a great package.

Gallery is quite nice.
by Cornice - Aug 2nd 2002 19:22:35
Gallery is a prime example of software that works. These guys have made a
really slick system. It's feature rich, nice looking, easy to configure,
well supported and also works with PostNuke. There are serious design
flaws since it grew from a small project into a rather serious application,
but there is now work being done on 2.0 which is a rewrite from the ground
up. I'm very impressed. These guys know what people want, they know how
to make it work and now they are building the foundation to keep it going
for a long time. Great job!
Also, kudos to Bharat for keeping things focused. You're a true diplomat.

It's really nice
by LoU - Feb 15th 2002 23:33:16
easy to use with simple but nice outlook.
It would be better if The Gallery could one day allow admins to set upload
quota for users.
I rate it 9

great pcs of code
by Josef H. Kierberger - Jan 30th 2002 09:25:57
imho one of the best picture-gallery scripts, triple A for installation,
usability and permission system;
in view of backup putting pictures in the filesystem ( structured e.g.
using the nested albums ) is the better way than writing them into blobs ->
it provides you the possibility of diff/inc backup;

The setup rocks
by Charles Lindsay Leeds - Dec 11th 2001 10:51:30
Rarely have I seen a product that is so easy to set up. You get detailed
error messages that tell you how to fix the problem. An amazing piece of
work aimed to be user friendly. I threw it up in 10 minutes and had a
gallery going. Best gallery I have seen so far. Even my wife can login
via the web based interface and customize it.

Very Impressive
by Waldo Jaquith - Dec 6th 2001 16:39:59
This is one of the most impressive open source applications that I've ever
used. It's slick, easy, fast, simple and full-featured. Setup was simple,
maintainence is a breeze, and users have no trouble interacting with the
system. Kudos to the developers of Gallery.

Gallery is great!
by Paul Brett - Oct 15th 2001 02:31:59
I have just updated my home photo album to Gallery after looking at over 20
photo album projcts on the net. This has got to be the BEST! It is fully
featured, stable and has a well thought out, clean interface that makes it
a pleasure to use. Strongly recommended.

Impressive!
by RedWire - Oct 4th 2001 13:42:49
I've always viewed web-albums as kind of 'cheesey', but I recently wanted
to post a bunch of images, and I thought I'd see what was out there. I
tried a couple of others before trying The Gallery, and I must say that it
has impressed me to no end.
The setup and admin interfaces are easy to use and well thought out.
Turning the site security on or off via the command line before allowing
configuration changes is a smart feature, and I'm only just beginning to
explore the CSS customization features. The generated thumbnails are
excellent too. The authors have spent a lot of time working on the
usability of this app, and it shows.
If you're looking for a web-album product, this is it.

Wow. This thing rocks!
by Jason Buberel - Sep 1st 2001 04:26:26
I just finished installing and converting my site over to using this photo
album tool. I am totally impressed. It is very simple to setup, and
provides a really teriffic user-interface to your visitors. It seems very
stable, and has an amazing array of features. You really should use this.
Does not require the use of MySQL or Postgres.

Gallery v1.1 is also a Nuke 5.0 module
by Bharat Mediratta - Jul 6th 2001 16:04:56
Gallery can be used as a Nuke 5.0 module and as a standalone application
(simultaneously!). See it in action.

It will also work with Nuke 5.4/5.5 if you just force it to be in
"Nuke mode" by manually setting $op to "modload" in the
gallery/index.php. Nuke must have chnaged the way it calls modules some
time between 5.0 and 5.4 as $op is no longer defined, and Gallery checks
the vaule of $op to decide whether Nuke called it, or it was called
standalone. If you do this - it won't work standalone anymore though. I'm
sure someone with more spare time than me can come up with a way to detect
Nuke 5.4 calling Gallery :)
It's a quality peice of work though - and I especially like the "rape
this URL for pictures" option which I used extensively to grab images
from the old version of my web site which was on another server elsewhere
in the 'net. I previously used "eGallery" and had to hack that
around extensively to add some quite basic functionality - such as adding
more than one picture at a time, and automatic thumbnail creation at image
insert time... Gallery does all this out of the box and much more - very
mature, impressive piece of work - thanks to all who work on it.

Scoot --
Thanks for the kind comments. You're right -- the Nuke folks changed
their API in 5.4 and broke the Gallery integration. But, we've fixed this
in v1.2.6 of Gallery which is available in beta right now. Enjoy,
