Hi, I'm looking for a photo album script that will create 2(one of them needs to be 245 x 130 px and sent to a separate file so it connects to another script) thumbnails and will show 20 thumbnails a page and when clicked open up a popup window like one http://www.stickernation.net/seen.asp and i need to incorporate it with my design (http://www.pridebmx.com/rainydayproject/) and i would need it to show the artists name when it popups or when i upload it it added it to the corner of the image. Does anyone know of a script like this?


thanks O_o

Hi there,

Assuming that each image's author, comment, etc, are generated by the person who uploaded it upon uploading, for something like that, you need to store the data either in file or database.

But if you are trying to do something more sophisticated than just to tile up the thumbnails, etc, I would recommend that you use database because it's more efficient that way.

Re MySQL installation, it really depends on what you mean by "my server package". If you have a shared server space, it's unlikely that you can install it, but you could ask whoever the provider of this server space is to install it. If you have a VPS or dedicated server (server of your own), then yes you can install it at your will (and risk). You can go to http://www.mysql.com/ for more information about MySQL.

Ok, I have 3 servers, 2 dedicated and 1 shared, so i have access to 5 databases but i wanna keep it down to 1 if thats possible.

You mean you do have a database server software installed onto your server(s) and have 5 databases created among them? As long as you have control over these databases, it's up to you whether to put all the tables in these databases into one database or not. But if you are trying to remote-connect to this one database that is created on one of your servers from the other two servers, I'd not recommend it for some reasons, among which the major ones being performance and security.

i could always just use one of the servers that have MySQL available instead of the shared.

Mine does all of that, its for my CMS though.

Too many features to list, but main ones are:

Templating, unlimited categories and nested (sub) categories and sub sub sub subs and so on, Comments now, rating now too, supports images, links, downloads, tutorials, first of its kind php popup window that resizes to fit the image dynamically using 3 lines of code instead of using the java alternative in excess of 100 lines.
And more.
