I've corrected Imagevue - no idea how that happened apart from me being thicker than a brick sandwich.

Added Minigal to the original post too.

Cheers. :D

Sion/~Flibster *who's still trying to get phpBB working as a gallery... I really have nothing better to do.*
 
Added the other new ones.

I was sure I had Gallery in there - looks like I missed it on the copy and paste... Oh well - it's added now. :D

Cheers.

I'm now working to see if phpBB can be modified to be a gallery. Looks hopefull at the moment.

That looks like a good one - With Google behind Picasa it's getting much better.

Anyway - added yet another one - Invision Gallery.

I've tried to install Gallery 2 on several different servers from different hosts over the past year or so and its always got a problem, whether with or without safe mode.

It has this stupid validation feature where you have to upload a text file with a code that the first installation page shows you, but then there is a bug that never accepts the code or lets you advance a couple of installation pages and then loops back to the first gain and sayas your code is invalid. Many people have this issue and post it on their support forum but they still insist on it in the name of security, and there's no simple fix for it.

I just gave up and installed coppermine.

Bizarre. :confused:

Worked prefectly for me. Still to find a layout I like though.
 
Bumping this as the question has appeared a couple of times recently.

Also adding that I've seen a couple of galleries done with Web Gallery Wizard Pro recent and they didn't look half bad for a $35 piece of software.

Simon,
I'm in the process of tidying up the Photography Sticky, removing all the old FS links and whatnot. Would you be happy for me to copy your original post to the sticky?

As long as it's easily edited to keep it up to date - not a problem.

*eg - add lightroom ;)*

Time for a brief update to this then. :D

Added a couple of things. Including the Wordpress and NextGen Gallery plugin which tbh rocks and is seriously simple to set up.

Must be easy - I use it - www.sbfphotography.com ;)

*Yes, I know I can't spell, the page design is cheesy and it's generally not well layed out at the moment - but it's being worked on slowly.*

Any other additions?
