Neither one works correctly on my current browser unless I actually downgrade my JavaScript. The mass uploader solution (last time I checked) was either an old Flash uploader or an even older JavaScript uploader. This kind of security is, in most cases, overkill, and should be settings-based. The mass uploader tends to lock up while creating thumbnails and that locks the whole gallery up so you need a super-admin to unlock it. Uses the database to link gallery names to folders, the folders have the same title as the corresponding gallery, only with all special characters stripped away and spaces converted to underscores.
Supports recursive re-creation of the gallery (if you need to restore or move your site you just upload all your photo folders onto the server through ftp or SCP and allow the gallery to scan through all the photos and re-build your gallery) Stores files in a logical file structure, so backup and restore is simple Includes a plug-in to create a editor button to drag stuff from the gallery into articles Has accompanying modules containing amongst others a slideshow feature, a random image feature and basically anything you could ever dream of for your website Automatic thumbnail generation and picture resize (after upload) Supports front-end uploads (mass uploads as well) Supports multiple users / multiple galleries (user / gallery ownership) Phoca Gallery - A beautiful gallery solution, and the first one in this list specifically written for Joomla. Does not use the server encoding for special characters so you might end up with folder names that the server can't handle (depending on the server settings) Last time I checked, no module for Joomla 2.5 or 3 Uses a logical folder structure to save files so backups and re-builds of the gallery are simple as pie Supports locked (access-restricted) albums I usually got a response from the author within the hour. This gallery creates a folder for each new album and uses the album name as folder name. TWG Gallery (Tiny Web Gallery) - A nifty, light-weight PHP / Flash based gallery. Expose seems to open up xml files the minute you start uploading into a gallery and keep it open until you have finished uploading, which results in a broken gallery if your computer, browser, internet connection or server has the hiccups during transfer. If the XML files are damaged, there is no way to figure out the original names of each gallery. Very difficult when it comes to back-ups and restores due to the way that the XML files connect serialized folders to gallery names. No way to lock specific galleries / folders (a sad necessity when it comes to galleries containing a lot of photos of children) Last updated in 2006 so the PHP is outdated
Nice, graphical front-end view of galleries Drag-and-drop ordering of categories and files Automatic resizing of files and thumbnail generation Interactive and simple interface to create categories and upload files Supports special characters in category names Some modules out there might allow you to pick up images from specific folders on your system, and could be useful in this case.ĮXpose - A brilliant PHP / flash-based solution for Joomla 1.0 that creates numerically marked folders for each new album and links folders and album names using XML files. No Joomla module available (for random images or slideshows). Another factor is that on a large system you might prefer to eliminate FTP access all together. Can cause problems with special characters in folder / category names (for example some Icelandic characters). JAlbum is not all together happy with that. On a large, distributed system, you tend to need to store things centrally on mounted drives. Easy to back-up where you have a logical folder structure in your backups You can point JAlbum towards a complete directory structure of folders and sub-folders containing images and videos, and it creates your album in no time.
JAlbum - A brilliant stand-alone solution that creates html / CSS / JavaScript based albums locally on your computer and the uploads it to your server via FTP. Some of the solutions we have worked with are: The fact of the matter is that pre-school staff is not technically trained (and there's no reason to expect them to be), they do not have all the time in the world to upload and tag photos (50 screaming children around you kind of demand attention) and they are generally too over-worked and under-paid to have any tolerance towards complex solutions. The nature of these sites might surprise you as they are pre-school (kindergarten) websites. I manage several websites that are quite demanding when it comes to gallery solutions. Users should be able to pick and choose when it comes to gallery solutions. As we know, web-based gallery solutions are as diverse as their users.
