• Hello,

    I’ve searched dozens of pages on this forum looking for the best option to share large ammounts of pictures with my visitors.

    After some playing arround with other galleries I found EasyPHPalbum which is highly configurable and easy to use. Biggest disadvantage is the fact that i’m having troubles intergrating the easyphpalbum page with my WP.

    What I like about EasyPHPalbum:

    + it shows my pictures on a seperate HTML page with possibiliy to go next and previous picture. This is specially handy for showing ads on the picture pages.
    + i like to upload my pictures all at once by ftp. And easyphpalbum just wants me to create a directory in my images folder (easyphp base folder) and add the easyphpalbum index file to that directory to show the the thumbnail page.
    + create sublevels. by creating a directory in a directory I can easily create different categories.
    + for more comfort I use 2 different image file, one to put in the directory where the images are, because on pages with many thumbnails or big images I want another menu on top, while on the category page with just a few categories the bottom menu does fine. Same goes for ads, on images pages I like 2 ad blocks to be shown (whenever google has enough relevant ads for little content pages like image pages) while on the index page I only want the top ad to be shown.

    Can someone give me some tips on how to implement this with my WP?!

    Check out my current album at the Fotos section of my page:

    Thanks in advance

    To what extent? What have you tried thus far? If you simply want it to look the same as the WordPress powered portion of your website, then you could copy the source from one of the pages, and add in the EPA code wherever you want, unless you want dynamic functions within your foto section. If so, I believe including the wp-blog-header at the very top of your document will suffice.
    <?php require('path_to_wordpress/wp-blog-header.php'); ?>
    From there you can call your various WordPress related functions such as <?php get_header(); ?> etc…

    Ah Ok thanks, will try that!

    I was trying to do something like that but the index.php file of the photoalbum is a mess and I find it hard to figure out what to put where.

    But I will keep trying 😉

    I have EasyPHPalbum running on my site now. It’s a fantastic script and a perfect gallery for my needs. The layout is highly customizable and it can be intergrated to your sites design very effectivly.

    It’s not part of my WordPress blog, but compliments it very well within the contect of my site.

    I have had a great deal of help from Jos, the writer of the script, who has been extremely supportive and patient with my lack if coding knowledge.

    I would highly reccomend this album to anyone!

    also http://www.lazyboy.dk/wordpress/?page_id=14 Lazy Galery might be handy.

    I have changed it a bit (wasn;t xhtml compliant for example) here: http://melodiefabriek.nl/photo-viewer.php
