recommendations for image library product?
hi i'm looking at building a zope site for a friend of mine who is a photographer. the site will just be a gallery of the different types of work he has done over the years. he needs to be able to easily add images, and to put these into categories. ideally this would allow some form of predefined properties (and even better would be a way to add in a custom link to something like PayPal for each image -- he has a vast range of stock images he would like to try and make some money from). he is not at all computer-savvy so whatever i propose has to be very simple. and he's got hardly any budget, which is why i haven't gone for the custom build option. :) i've looked through some zope products but i wondered if anyone has any recommendations? or should i go the plone route (never done a plone site before)? matt
I have written something called ImagedDocument for customer (available from the Collective CVS on Sourceforge). Just try it out...no docs, no support :-) -aj --On Dienstag, 9. März 2004 10:39 Uhr +0000 Matt Carey <matt@studiolift.com> wrote:

I think CMFPhoto, Photo & Photo Album would all do you well. Search Zope.org Jake ____________________ http://www.ZopeZone.com "Zoping for the rest of us" On Mar 9, 2004, at 5:39 AM, Matt Carey wrote:

I've found that with the Photo Product (Photo and Photo Folder) you can easily edit the files to customize for your use as I did with the following files: addPhotoFolderForm.dtml - set defaults such as PIL, added labels so my users would know where id and title showed up so all my users have to do is just add an id and title and click the button. sampleFolderView.dtml - added our banner to the top of the page and changed or added breadcrumbs (can't remember if it had breadcrumbs) so that they would be in every new folder created. Changed the number of photos per row and default size. PhotoFolder.py - made index.html the default page and index_html contains only <dtml-var index.html>(makes it easier for our Dreamweaver users. You could probably add a property to each photo for price. Thomas On Tue, 9 Mar 2004 10:39:12 +0000, Matt Carey <matt@studiolift.com> wrote:
