Photo Gallery - Under Development
Posted by

Development
Just to let you all know, I’ve been working on a new photo gallery script (PHP5 - OO-based) that should be up and running in the next few days. I had originally intended on coding the entire script in Actionscript (Macromedia Flash 8.0) with an XML backend, but that’s going to have to wait a little longer. I was having troubles with populating a scrollpane with numerous thumbnails. Until that day, this should work just fine.
At any rate, if all goes according to plan, I think I might release the source code for those that might be interested.
Features:
- PHP5 / MySQL - Object Oriented
- Upload Queue capacity - in order to upload multiple photos in one-go
- Multiple categories per photo ala Gmail’s labeling system
- FTP-ready. Upload a number of photos via FTP/SFT and script detects new photos automagically
- Exif Data extraction for photo information (camera make, model, date taken, etc.)
- Flash front-end - preloader and image transitions
- ImageMagick image post-processing for thumbnail and screen-sized image generation
- Smart detection of portrait and landscape image orientation
- and much more…
Stay tuned…
