I've been hunting all around for a decent photo gallery. There seem to be quite a few different projects, some of which are still active, available. None of them seem to accomplish what I'm looking for, though. I have tested quite a few, but all are lacking. To this end, I thought I'd ask here if anyone has anything similar to what I've been looking for.

Major Features:
Abstracts image URLs - hides the path and filename to prevent direct access
Public/private flags - allows some images to stay hidden
Tags - I'd like to be able to tag the images ala del.icio.us, LJ, Flickr
Does not require gd - auto-thumbnails and watermarks can be disabled
Traverses directories - new images can be dropped in a subfolder or the root image folder and will be picked up automatically
Comments - allows for public (configurable) or private comments, either ties into phpbb or uses some sort of email validation/captcha scheme to reduce spam
EXIF - extracts all image data form the photographs and can display it
Uses simple cacheable CSS/XHTML templates
Does not store images in DB
Uses MySQL or abstraction layer that allows MySQL for comments, tags, etc
Takes reasonable measures to be secure and speedy

Minor Features:
Users can upload images
Temporary/expiring image URLs for sharing
Hotlinking configuration - allow all, deny all, allow specific sites
User-switchable templates
Javascript navigation and image pop-ups optional
Keeps stats on a pre image basis - top keywords, views, etc
All images can be watermarked automatically
Thumbnails may be re-generated automatically
Can assign/rename/describe multiple photos at once

I'm sure there are more details, but that should give a start. The scripts I've found so far are either too simple and don't have many features or too complex and require components and methods of use that I won't be using. There are a few others that store the images in the DB, which is something I'm definately against. I want to be able to FTP a directory of images and know that it will be online and ready to go as soon as the transfer is complete, or that it takes a simple click to do a rescan so they are available.

If I have to, I'll start from scratch... I was just hoping that there would be something available that I have not yet found that could serve as a foundation to build from.

Thanks

I'm looking for tutorials on how to integrate a .php file into a (previous .htm file but now a) .php file. Or a brief explanation if there's such a thing, hehe.


I've been using Dreamweaver and templates for one of my sites and now I want to integrate CuteNews script into it. (Me-background: I know html, but the div tag and I aren't the best of friends. But if that's what I have to do then I won't stop until I win.)

I've been told to use this thing:

include("path/to/show_news.php");
?>

but they never said exactly how I use it..... (I have barely used php before)

This is how my page looks like in DW. And I want my show_news.php to show up in the right editable region.

Oh, and it'a a plain old table on the page, no divs whatsoever.

Can anyone briefly explain to me the intricacies of this website?
http://web.e-enterprise.purdue.edu/dlc/duri
I have made websites before... and have experimented with CSS, mostly just making stylesheets or using templates in Dreamweaver. I need to make a website following a similar format, but I am not sure how complex this particular site is. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I've decided to finally start learning PHP. I've been doing rather well, until I decided to chop up my template structure a bit more.

Originally I had my directory structure like so:

HTTPDEV
..bin
....js
..Data
..Templates
....footers
....headers
....mains
....navs
....images
....styles
....miscs

I have my main page (proj1.php) in the HTTPDEV folder, with all of the other files down the hierarchy.

I've added a bodies folder beneath Templates, and to put the code to include items from footers, headers, mains, navs, miscs, etc in it.

This is the code in proj1.php under the bodies directory:

?php
				echo "div id=\"header\">";

				require('../headers/proj1.html');

				echo"/div>";
				echo"div id=\"container\">";
				echo"div id=\"center\" class=\"column\">";
				
				require('../mains/proj1.html');

				echo"";
				echo"div id=\"left\" class=\"column\">";

				require('../navs/proj1.html');

				echo"/div>";
				echo"div id=\"right\" class=\"column\">";
				
				require('../miscs/proj1.html');

				echo"/div>";
				echo"/div>";
				echo"div id=\"footer\">";

				require('../footers/proj1.html');

				echo"/div>";
?

http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.serialize.php

OK, I have been on a project where it I have been doing mostly front-end php while sending and recieving data in arrays with an API...

Now the API people are saying "We will pass the templates as serialized PHP objects..."

I am really scratching my head here. It sounds like he wants to send the entire php file that makes a web page as a serialized object... Before all I had to do was format an array. I am trying to arrange a confrence call to s I can understand this. (I am an not a PHP expert and I think they are talking above my head.)

In the meantime, what can you tell me about the function serialize()? The example in the manual seems very incomplete and I need to pick this up quick.

Alright, I've volunteered to make / maintain my church's website, and it turns out that I know absolutely nothing about doing this.


I've downloaded a template from Boxed Art and I've also downloaded a program (SEEdit) to view the template, because I couldn't open the .html files with TextEdit.




I don't know where to begin. My webhost (iPower) uses an application-like thing called vDeck (here's a screenshot of it), and I'm not sure how to go about installing these templates and putting them to use.


One of the template pages is an .html file that looks like this:

** sorted, thanks.


Hi,
I have a Linux server that I am slowly learning how to use. A friend of mine who is very good with Linux not available for lots of questions set it up for me. I am at the moment trying to install Smarty Templates. I have a question about part of the installation instructions that I have copied below.

In our example, the document root is /web/www.domain.com/docs and the
web server username is "nobody". We will keep our Smarty files under
/web/www.domain.com/smarty

Who is the web server username that nobody is referring to?


Another question I have is about the location of the Smarty files. The installation docs suggest /usr/local/lib/php/Smarty/

Why that directory particularly? There was no php directory in /usr/local/lib/. I set one up and copied the files as instructed. I am just curious about that choice of location.


Thanks

Note: This rant was prompted by phpBB's release of Beta1 of phpBB3... finally.

I think phpBB is stupid for not switching over to Smarty with version 3 of the forum. They've essentially reinvented the wheel and I don't think they did as good of a job as Smarty does. They can't complain about supporting "existing templates" because there are none. On top of that, they could really use some unit tests.

phpBB has gone down a long way since they first came out with phpBB 2. They used to be the leaders of forum software. Now they're playing catch up with everyone else. My own forums are so heavily modded that they already have more than half the features that phpBB3 will have. GameHavoc's forums, which recently were moved to vBulletin, already have all the features and then some that phpBB3 will have.

I would switch over to vBulletin except I can't afford it, nor do I want to pay more for each site I might use it on.

Are there no other very good PHP-based forum packages that don't cost money or have a code base that looks like it was originally made in PHP3 and never upgraded? I'm almost tempted to start making my own. There has got to be something out there that shows promise, though. Something with good coding practices and framework to back it up and make for easy development, deployment, and modification.

    Now don't get me wrong, I love CSS but the positioning system implemented by MSIE/Mozilla/Safari have their slight differences that can ultimately make it difficult to work with.  Sure there's plenty of little hacks and such to work around them, but it looks pretty bad to the clients when my work renders wrong on obsolete browsers.   So I've gone back to using tables to lock elements in place, then using CSS to beautify them.  I still keep my templates below 10k in size and all appears to be good?

I am very new to CSS and standards based design; but, I really want to learn.  Needing results quickly, I opened StyleMaster and used one of their templates.  I didn't change anything really, just reworked the graphics.  Proofed it in all the browsers in the house and was so proud of myself for having actually accomplished the task.  THEN - I asked friends far and wide to look at the site.  It does NOT display correctly in IE6.  All the content is displayed below the navigation column.  Using Dreamweaver I tried to find some clue; but none of the clues led to anything that worked to make it display correctly in IE6.  Works great in IE7 but Microsoft isn't forcing the upgrade so I guess it is a BIG problem for me.  Bad news is the client uses IE6. Can somebody look at this and give me a clue  to fixing it - I'm willing to try anything at this point.  Really hate to go back to tables now when I'm so darn close.  THANK YOU!!

Hi guys,

I've had my friend's website (the Book Brothel - a book reviews site, very cool) hosted on Netrillium for the past three years.

Last year, Movable Type exploded. I don't have internet at home and couldn't really do anything in the way of fixing it. I asked for help from Netrillium, because googling the problem led me to believe it was the result of a change on their end which messed up my install. They tried a little, said it was fixed, I said it wasn't, they ignored me for a year (not that I was e-mailing daily.. but still.) My long-suffering friend trudged bravely on with her half-working install.

The last straw has come, though: as she approached her space limit, the MT install was garbled again. We asked for a backup. We asked to be moved to a higher plan. They said 'we'll look for a backup and let you know' over a week ago. Since then, the domain renewal came up, I missed it due to work holidays, and they never sent me any sort of notice. The domain (bookbrothel.com) is not currently ours.

I am, understandably I hope, fed up with Netrillium. I think that the owner, Ermina, is a saint, but she hires idiots. My long-winded question is this: where do I go?

I am getting the internet at home within a week, so I will be able to keep my own eye on my next Movable Type (or possibly Textpattern) installation, so support needs to be polite and quick, but they don't have to hold my hand. All I want is responses to my queries!

I want a place which will register a domain for roughly $10US or under, and give me ~200MB of disk space, 300 would be better. I've just been away from the design world for so long I have lost touch with hosting companies, registrars and all its related ilk.

I'm pretty sad about my Netrillium breakup. I used to have a reseller account, hosted all sorts of freebie templates, design collectives... *sigh*
