Spring (Fall) Cleaning :: home :: Lake Merritt, Piedmont, and 4th street Berkeley
* Gallery 2 Installed *
comments
Well, it's a little plain right now, but I've just installed and migrated everything over from my gallery to the Gallery 2 system. These guys have built a top notch system and I'm loving the possibilities already. Why have I gone through all of this hassle if my old Gallery 1.4.4 was running fine? There are several reasons.
1. The new theming system is very flexible and is similar to movable type's paradigm (lots of html and css, special tags for gallery bits)
2. MySql backend. I don't really care too much about this, but it's supposedly better (I've yet to "optimize" the database)
3. Nice built-in themes
4. Plug-in system (with a square thumbnail plugin!)
5. Cool Java applets that allow you to do things like drag and drop upload, crop certain parts as thumbnails.
6. Multi-site install saves space.
Anyway, I'm done fiddling for now...the images seem to be there, but I need to do some spring cleaning and work on theming. This will have to come in another day as I have to work on work stuff for now.
