Photo Gallery Forums

Hi
I have a 'sales' question.
I am designing a web product for commercial purposes - basically a template site for a specific industry.
This product (a web site template) will include a gallery.
However I keep getting messed around by gallery providers who claim one thing about their gallery but then it doesn't deliver what they say it can.

Please bear in mind that although, I can use ftp and web design software etc, I am a complete novice at scripting. I can edit php script if told exactly what to do and thats about all.

I am designing websites using website creation software (I am not a programmer).
I believe I have created a pretty good web product as part of a particular business marketing package.
However, the vital ingredient has still not been found.
I am seeking an adequate gallery for each site where the client who buys the site template can log in to the gallery online and manage it.
I need some more information which is not covered in your web site.

1. As well as managing the galleries, the clients need to be able to remotely manage 4 or 5 thumbnail images on the homepage of the site I design for them (preferbly thumbnails which change like a slideshow).
These thumbnails would act as links to the main gallery page.
Is this possible using your programme with my knowledge of scripting?


2. Would clients be able to log on to manage their galleries online from anywhere and without accessing the hosting server to upload files etc?


3. How customisable are the gallery pages - the colours etc?

(I understand the licence situation)

Looking forward to reply
thanks

2.) Yes. ImageVue has independent login/admin/content management pages.

3.) Completely. The background can be any web color, an image, or a flash file. These can be changed easily within the admin panel. Deeper editing of the gallery can be done via editing theme specific stylesheets.

1.) Not sure. I recall threads regarding something like this, but will let others more familiar give you a definite answer.

I'm an IV user since 2005. Version 1 was nice for it's time. Version 2 (current) is the most versatile user hosted image gallery available, IMHO.

It's weakness is the Flash platforms' inherent weakness re: SEO, but as long as you are embedding and have content rich HTML pages, or feed standalone Flash instances via other pages, that shouldn't be a huge concern.

IV is a bargain considering what you get. I'm constantly complimented on "my site"...meaning ImageVue -;)

I believe I answered this by email a few days ago, my answers being similar to markam24 (thank you for beating me to it) ...

As for question no.1, as I outlined in the email, this would require some "workaround" method. You would need to create your startfolder with 4 images, and then set LINKS for the thumbnails instead of going to fullsize image. The links would point to other folders in your gallery ...
