Image Gallery for Live Event
Posted: Mon Jun 27, 2011 2:30 pm
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!
