Be More ‘Social’ With Pictures
In my constant search to try new things and to add to the “social” or community “feel” of the site, I decided to install a photo-gallery for Premium Members. I looked at several options available and decided to go with “Gallery“.
Gallery seemed to have the most choices and options, it looks great, and has good integration with Drupal. There is even a plugin to integrate Gallery with Wordpress.
The Drupal module is not one of those “upload and go” type modules – it’s really just a wrapper module for the separate Gallery script which also has to be installed, so configuring it was a real pain – and it took the better part of the weekend and several visits to the Gallery Support Forums to get the module and script installed and configured (partially why this post is so short – because i’m still tired). The new photo gallery now seems to be working perfect and several members have already added their own image albums.
Just one more simple way to add a bit of value for Premium Members and make the site more interesting and ’social’.
That´s a good idea.I use Wordpress as well and adding more pics to the site would make it stand out from the rest and make it more unique.
