Photo Gallery Borked
Posted by Poppa under: Site News .
I think I’ve just about had it with the photo gallery software we’re currently using. First it just about got us kicked off of our web-host because when I uploaded like 500 images at one time it taxed the server so much that the moved us to a different spare server, and now last night I noticed that there are ton of duplicate images in there. I did some research on the duplicate images and it sounds like you have to manually go in and delete both images and then re-upload the photo that was borked. Not something that I’m looking forward to doing, especially with as many images as we have out there right now, and who even knows if it will happen again.
So I’m looking at a couple of other photo gallery packages. A couple that integrate directly into WordPress which would make my life easier if they actually work, and a couple of others that are stand-alone packages that actually will integrate into WordPress better than the way Coppermine does (it doesn’t really interface at all - no bridges are available). If and when I do switch, I’ll do my best to make it as transparent as possible and maybe run them both in line until I get everything updated on the new one.
