Gallery - im sure its been asked 1000 times

Post by tecton »

i searched and only found bulky scripts and defective scripts.

The Need: An image gallery single file php program. That dynamicly reads a directory, finds jpegs, resizes the jpegs, and outputs them in a plain table. No users, no templates, no BS.

Im not asking anyone to write this for me. Im asking if anyone knows of a program already made off hand to do this?

I think the general idea is, if you want a very specific piece of software which needs to meet your needs exactly, you're going to have to either write it yourself or pay someone else to write it for you. Trying to find a 'simple' script is generally more hassle than just doing it yourself.

its NOT specific.
Every gallery i run into has users, visitor comments, image hit counters, logins, admin sections....i want the so most basic basic basic gallery.

But that is a specific need - you specifically need it to be simple. Most pre-written distributed scripts try to as much as possible to meet as many people's needs as possible. If you need something basic you're going to have to do a bit of DIY.

I know this is old post, but this site has a pretty simple gallery script:

http://www.squidfingers.com/code/php/

My problem is finding a way to present images of all different kinds and sizes.... ugh, being a someone who does it all can be frustrating... esp. when it comes to trying to present work on the web (and esp. if you do not want to use tables!)

Hth someone...

Cheers.
