在开源php照片库和 - 或cms之间选择

Question

Im in the beginning of developing three different web applications with the classic php/mysql technologies. These applications would all have photo galleries (with different requirements in sizing).

I think the best choice is to choose an open source solution rather than developing from scratch. However, even though Im an experianced php programmer I have no experiance in open source cms/photo galleries.

So, questions:

1. what are the best choices for an open source php photo gallery considering that I will surely have mess up with their code and extend it (ive seen plogger and zenphoto, not impressed)?

2. Is it wise to choose an open source php photo gallery or go with a cms (eg wordpress, joomla, typeo3 etc)?

If anyone has experiance in using and extending php open source apps please share some knowledge.

Answer 1

You can try:

1. Gallery
2. Coppermine

Both are well known PHP Photo Gallery open source software (GPL License). Also both are under active development and have a big community of users, so you can probably get help when you will need it.

Also both have some, kind of integration with the most known open source CMS.
