Gallery making proggy?
 

Does anyone know of any good gallery making proggy? I need one that can support creating your own templates and add custom HTML to the page.

And please don't suggest Arles, I'm about to throw that piece of shit out the window...

whats wrong with Arles?

he just told you it's shit

hes right too .

Arles will not allow me to customize the thumbs table, either I go with the rows*cols table or I do it by hand... Also it puts in A LOT of shit code, very fucking redundant.

Can't believe I paid for that piece of shit and furthermore I can't believe I've been using it for so long... A gallery making program is supposed to make things easier for you and save you time. With Arles you're better off making templates by hand...

So, anyone got any suggestions for a piece of software that can actually help me save time when creating galleries? I've also tried ThumbsPlus, but I just couldn't figure out the fucking thing, so I rate that one as even more worthless than Arles...

Here's the one I wrote for my personal use. I've thought about packaging it up, but it'd take a little work. Based off of XSLT for the templates, so you can make it look however you want. If there's any interest I might do it.

Looks interesting fletcher, but I can't get a feeling of how it works exactly unless I've tried it...

Already tried 4 different proggies off the net since I last posted here, they were all shit...

Geez, can't people make a GOOD piece of software for a change?

Yeah, I usually just get fed up and roll my own. It gives you a lot more control over what's going on.

fletcher, any chance I can give it a test drive?

Yeah, I'm really busy right now, but hit me up at 225006418 or [email protected] and we can talk.

give me a shout....can help you out :D

laters,
Chris

are there any other gallery progs out that are any good?

I have been fucking with Express Thumbnail Creator and modifying it in Dreamweaver.

notepad.exe :thumbsup :thumbsup

Man, that program looks swell, but it's a bit pricy... The amount of galleries/AVS sites/Free Sites I make don't justify shelling out 300 bucks for a piece of software...

I just came across this one and it sure as hell beats Arles. It's simpler and it's easier to create templates with it, plus, it won't fill your pages with crap code. Wonder when Arles will learn to use the <h1> tag instead of <p>...

E-Mage is cool..

Why not building building your own unique gallery template without some stupid prog?

E-Mage is REALLY cool! Unfortunatley I can not use it for the purpose I had inteded, namely building TGP2 galleries, as it can't generate pics on HTML. Other than that, it's great and I love the way you can customize your templates! If it had just built pics on HTML then it had been the best!

Ron2k1, building templates without a piece of software that automates things for you will take forever. Take a look at E-Mage and you'll see how easy it is to create a shitload of galleries from one template within a few minutes. That will save you a shitload of time and work.

Actually you can put pics on html with it.. at least in the latest version... emage even makes coffee these days!

:thumbsup

Ummm, you can? I couldn't seem to find that option... Where does it lie hidden? :)

that E-Mage is really cool

:thumbsup :thumbsup

Ok, E-Mage is cool, but someone please tell me how to create pics on HTML using it!

Yeah, I did this - much better, and it runs on my server, so no uploading, no bs

enter a few varibles, click, done

Hiya...

Take a look at Express Thumbnail Creator, it's easy to use and put it with the right scripts you can belt our entire 20-30 pic free sites in about 3 minutes each....

Have a look at the sample 'complex' template..

are there any programs that can insert recips into a gallery template renaming each file like a1..a2..a3..etc? with different recips for each page.

Real men use vi :thumbsup

Mybe you can use this, GASS from darksoft, tool that adds recipts, duplicates galleries and includes a built-in web browser for TGP submission. Also includes a customizable database of tgp's and recipt buttons.
