I use Expose and SSP
Expose
Very sleek. Supports video & images. It looks easy.
SSP
It is more of a gallery for portfolios and of course a slideshow view. With that said....
I LOOVE ssp. I own ssp + ssp director. You will probably need both to do what you want. ssp director highly uses ajax. You can drag and drop images to organize with ajax. 1 button activate/deactivate albums with ajax. SSP color and looks is highly customizable especially if you know Actionscript. Just go to their website and read their PDF's documentations.
Drawbacks: It is a flash slideshow, so looking at tons of images at once isn't too pleasing. Not really for multiple client control. If you want the client to have some control you are better of buying multiple copies of director. SSP directory does have user groups, but it is not good at all. There is only editor, publisher, admin ( or something like that) you can give a person permission to edit images and upload, but it will be for all galleries. You cant limit which galleries they have permission for.Director has 1 license for 1 domain
On the upside the new Director coming out will support API which opens tons of possibilities. Even looking at images without using the flash slideshow. Slideshow pro alone without director is alright, but your clients might not like it. You have to manually edit the XML file, and get get messy if you have many galleries and images.
Here is an example how customizable it is IF you know flash www.lakecrackenback.com.au/
Heres an example if the new api in Director(beta4) www.italyapartments.it/admins/director_api_demo/
END: SSP is more for your own gallery rather then clients. - Last Edit: 16 years 11 months ago by LiEs.

I choose SSP and director.
The module to integrate SSP made by Joomlashack don’t seem to work in Joomla 1.5.2 and the last version of SSP ( SlideShowPro_for_Flash_188.zip).
Now if I can have some hint on the embedding process to be able to use Director as well....... - Graphic Designer - Marketing -Web Sites — Trying to become a decent human being.

Upload your swf anywhere convenient in your server. Go to modules, then click on New and create a custom module. then click on Embed media link and put the link to your SWF.
To use director open the .fla and set the ssp setting called xml to 'director' instead of images.xml
To access your director its xxx.com/directorpath ; You can't embed director into joomla if that is what your saying. - Last Edit: 16 years 11 months ago by LiEs.
