Any demand for a gallery/fhg management script like this?
 

-Allows you to upload a .zip and it will unzip the contained images into a folder and crop/watermark them and generate a .html gallery based on your template.

-Load a list of sponsor FHG URLs with titles and description and it will rip each gallery to it's own folder on your server and automatically crop/watermark(or not watermark) them and generate .html gallery based on your template.

-Specify a limit on the amount of images to gather from each FHG (ex: 14).

-Can zip up all of your galleries into a single or each separate .zip file in each galleries folder or to a desired location.

-Store sponsor names, login(s), URLs, your affiliate link(s), banner(s), etc. and attach each gallery to it's sponsor.

-Store reciprocal image(s) and URLs for sites you submit to and have a separate gallery page generated for each one or include multiple recips on each page.

-Set a permanent width/height for thumbs or use a custom one on the fly when creating or gathering galleries.

-Set a custom width/height for certain images in your template, such as when you have 1 large thumb followed by the usual rows of thumbs.

-Raise/lower image quality to save bandwidth.

-A manual single image cropper of course, but galleries can be auto-cropped with 1 click.

-Smart auto-cropper, can distinguish between portrait or landscape images and choose the best area and location to crop. No more odd shaped or stretched thumbs.

-Grab [X] amount of random images from current galleries and generate a new one.

-Folder and filenames contain titles/descriptions for SEO.

-Uses mostly Ajax so the work is instantly finished and result shown instead of waiting for redirects and pages to reload.

-Premade file to include on your layout that will list all your hosted galleries.

-Whatever else I think of along the way..

i asked u like 2 years ago if you would make it tgptrades has a site like that

lol, I only really make things like this when I get around to feeling like it and have a lot of time to put into it.

You mean like www.gallerydaemon.com and www.arylia.com ?

arylia and gallery daemon are already good products

Doesn't look like there is much demand, or people can't afford to pay for something right now that they can get by with on a free script. As for the 'theres already a script that does that' comments, I expected them, no offense (honestly), I know these exist, I'll just say that Ford isn't the only car company lol..

If you can make a product as good or better than existing ones, I don't see why it wouldn't work... :2 cents:

Yeah, I wasn't really ragging on you for there already being something out, believe me, I'm the last person to do that. I write custom code for everything I create, and if that means reinventing the wheel 300 times, than oh well.

Point being, Gallery systems aren't really in high priority, and even so, GalleryDaemon and Arylia are pretty prominent products in that market already, so it's hard to move into a dominated area unless you got something they can't do that people want badly.

sorry, answered the wrong thread
