Gallery script integration

What should it have

Administrators Thanked: 263 times	While you can use PageAvatar and PageMultiAvatar to turn pages into galleries, the request for a user gallery plugin is still quite popular. I'm currently considering a bridge to 3rd party gallery software as a possible solution. The most popular PHP gallery is this one, but G3 has no ways of integration with 3rd party software apart from REST API, which is more suitable for 3rd party sites than with your own one. So, I'm checking if Coppermine or Piwigo can be integrated with Cotonti. I wonder how far such an integration should go. To be precise I'd like to ask 2 questions to the community: Would you like to use a 3rd party gallery script such as G3/Coppermine/Piwigo together with your Cotonti site? What features do you need from such an integration? The first obvious feature is that a user should be able to login in both systems with one account. May the Source be with you!

Donator Thanked: 7 times	there was once a plugin for seditio/cotonti that rocked! it was called Usergalley (usergal) and is still live on: http://urbancrusaders.nl it has in my opinion everything a gallery needs. The only thing missing is a way to direct the userinput to categories. My personal feature list would be: admin can set main categories users can add photo's to a given category or a own folder (which then becomes a sub-folder of the category). ablility to display most recent and/or best voted and/or random picture on index (a bit like the gal of Kort)

Administrators Thanked: 263 times	I know usergal is cool but urlkiller doesn't maintain it any further and doesn't allow anybody else to do so. May the Source be with you!

Administrators Thanked: 263 times	PFS-less system is fine by me. I'll help with Genoa to Siena conversion if you pick a non-proprietary license or at least release it for free :) May the Source be with you!
