    Best gallery

    Posted 17 years 8 months ago
    • I am setting up a very basic site so my friend can upload pictures for friends and family. He likes when they have albums. What is the best component or gallery to use.

      I have tried a few but they all seem to be a pain in the A$$

    • Personally I like Gallery2 ( gallery.menalto.com/ ). This is rather difficult to setup, but once running it is rock stable.

      A few benefits of gallery2:

      - integration with joomla through a component
      - several upload possibilities (picassa, from windows xp direct, other server, ...)
      - Different access levels (eg. friends, family, ...)

      It might be that this gallery is too advanced for your needs, but I can't recommend another since I only work with gallery2 (I tried the others some time ago, but found them lacking in features and upload comfort). Maybe someone else has some suggestions ?

    • Thanks guys,

      I tried expose but it kept telling me it couldn't connect to the server each time I tried to upload a picture. As far as Gallery goes I am still searching for something called JoomlaLib which the bridge is asking for.

      Add the following to your .htaccess file:

      # Config for Exposé component: upload errors
      SecFilterEngine Off
      SecFilterScanPOST Off
      # End config Exposé

      Thanks Brad, that worked great. I still need to play with the settings to get it the way I want but I am on my way!

      That one is indeed well hidden.
