The Photos section of the site is back. It needs a lot of work, but at least it’s there again. I decided to only upload the “important” pictures from the old setup, but I’ll upload new ones as the days go by. It’s a nice and simple interface, which I really like. I’m using SPAM/iPAP to mange the photo albums and it works well. The software needs a lot of improvements, but those will come with time.
Some of the things I would like to see are:
- Resizing of images on upload.
- Saving images into folders based on the album, instead of one folder for all of the images.
- Rotating of images based on EXIF data.
- Use MySQL or some derivative instead of a flat database file.
- Better ability for templating. The CSS should be moved out into a seperate file and PHP code should be allowed in the templates.
- Deleting albums and images doesn’t work quite right yet.
- Batch uploading. Currently I have to individually choose the images (maximum of eight). I would like to see an option where I could choose a folder and upload everything from it, or upload a zip file that would be unzipped once on the server.
The future looks bright for this piece of software as long as development doesn’t stop.

I’m gonna take your suggestions and hopefully include them when I go back into coding it again, maybe for the next major release. Thanks.
