DISQUS

dria: Looking for a photo-sharing system

  • Jesse Andrews · 3 years ago
    I've been looking for the same thing, although I was going to find one with a good API that I could then write an extension for flock that would use our uploader. (my personal goal is to have connect to at least 1"gpl" service for each web service we talk with).

    unfortunately I've not found anything else in my research, but will let you know if I find anything.

    regarding pay services I was debating putting together something based on amazon s3... it can be fast and cheap.

    I'm using Flickr, w/ the unofficial Flickr uploader tool for Mac OS X, and then FAlbum plugin for WordPress. Flickr's been improved a bunch lately and all the other stuff around it (all the unofficial stuff) makes it more palatable.

    I ended up opting for Gallery2 too; I wasn't really happy handing over my photos to a third party like Flickr.

    Gallery2 was fairly straightforward to install for a technical person and the UI is passable. What I really want is a solution to mass file upload from within a browser, something I think the WHATWG folks should address.

    Okay, so multiple file upload is covered in Web Forms 2. I'll shut up now.

    Maybe you would like http://www.zenphoto.org. Bulk upload by .zip files.

    Hey, try www.zenphoto.org

    It's a PHP gallery in AJAX. I love it, found it while I was looking for something "helluva lighter and easier to use than Gallery". You can simply upload photos in a folder and off you go, gallery created.

    picasa now has a web component that's in beta w/integration to the picasa client. I don't know if there's Mac support yet, but its pretty stratighforward and sports the usual google-ish minimalist but effective UI

    Try 23. www.23hq.com. It's a lot like flickr BUT the UI is not as annoying.

    I use Realmac Software's RapidWeaver to do my daughter's web site, including a large number of photo gallery pages (one for each month). It lets you create a page that will automatically contain all the photos from a given iPhoto album, with customizable thumbnail and photo sizes, imports the comments from iPhoto, and so forth.

    I think I was the one commenter way back when that suggested Gallery/Gallery2 and while I still like them I think that the Drupal photo album is a better way to go. The drawback of Gallery is that it is only a Gallery. Drupal you can have a relatively full featured gallery that is themable, but you also get a blog and comments and forums and...whatever you want (but only if you want/enable it). Using the Image Pub module (http://drupal.org/node/63154 ) there is support for the Gallery Remote API which allows you to use Gallery Remote (java mass uploading tool) among others including the iPhotoToGallery tool.

    Try this? You don't need to sign up to use it. The bulk uploader for firefox uses flash 8 however but it has an iphoto plugin.

    I've enjoyed using Picasa Web beta. You use the Google Picasa software to edit photos. You can also upload manually. It comes with 250mb of space you can upgrade to 6GB for $25 a year. It has RSS feeds and the whole shebang.

    Can you let us know what you decide to use w/ a follow-up post?
  • dria · 3 years ago
    Heh, sure. When I have something set up that I like and plan to keep, I'll post a note :)

    Zenphoto looks pretty cool, but I really haven't had much time to look into this more. Maybe over the weekend.

    Hey Deb,

    I like flikr fine for what it is. I mostly use a crappy eight-year-old homegrown ksh/ImageMagick hack that cranks out perfectly functional-if-unadorned pre-css html.

    I'm either lame or way oldschool. It's a fine line.
