Image Gallery for Live Event

Post by billysoy »

I am not sure if this is something that is frowned on here, but I thought it would be worth a try. I am looking for some to build me an image gallery that can be used for a live event. I will be running a live event webcast and we put up a new slideshow about once an hour. Last year we tried to use a php script that parsed a folder of images and built an gallery on the fly. We have so many visitors looking at the slideshows that it kept crashing our server. What I need this year is someone to build me an image gallery that essentially functions like this:
- Put a build.php file in a folder full of images
- FTP the folder to the server
- Navigate to the build.php file, which scans the directory for images generates thumbnails and an index.html page with the html built out.
- The gallery can simply use lightbox javascript to display the fullsize images after users click the thumbnails.
- Once the gallery is built, I can just delete the build.php file from the directory.
- This way visitors will not be executing a php file, they will simply be viewing a hardcoded html page.
Does this sound possible? Is any one willing to build this for me? What would it cost? The event is in a couple weeks, so I would need it pretty quickly in order to test and deploy it for our purposes.
Thanks!

There are multiple ways to do this (some more or less efficient) and yes, it's something that many of us here at DevNet are capable of doing. However, this is the wrong forum. This should be probably be posted on Job Hunt. In any case, next week is a slow week at the office for me so I do have time to complete this. Just shoot me a PM.
