I’m new to Rapidweaver/Stacks/Foundry…
I have one web site where I regularly post pictures of the club’s events. The number of pics can be anywhere form 30 to 130! Is there any function within Foundry that is like Gallery but allows for batch loading of a large number of pics? I will appreciate any suggestions as they will save me time poking and hoping for the best solution!
For that number of photos at a time I’d suggest using one of the dedicated “gallery” stacks, especially for batch uploading. There are a few around.
I typically use the Gallery stack from Instacks:
I believe Gallery allows you to upload a batch to RW itself (drag-drop) but also allows you to warehouse batch images. Choose whatever approach is best for your situation.
Stacks4Stacks also has a very good gallery stack:
There are other options and others might chime in with those as well.
Frankly I find Gallery the best and most reliable now. But it may not be the best for you needs. ProGallery allows you to trial it, so you can test out for free.
Yes, the instacks - Photo Gallery looks like a great solution! The single image grid is perfect.
BTW - excuse my ignorance, Photo Gallery requires PHP5.6… what is PHP - sounds like a host side thing.
PHP is a server-side scripting language designed for web development but also used as a general-purpose programming language. Originally created by Rasmus Lerdorf in 1994, the PHP reference implementation is now produced by The PHP Group. PHP originally stood for Personal Home Page, but it now stands for the recursive acronym PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor
PHP code may be embedded into HTML code, or it can be used in combination with various web template systems, web content management systems, and web frameworks. PHP code is usually processed by a PHP interpreter implemented as a module in the web server or as a Common Gateway Interface (CGI) executable. The web server combines the results of the interpreted and executed PHP code, which may be any type of data, including images, with the generated web page. PHP code may also be executed with a command-line interface (CLI) and can be used to implement standalone graphical applications.
Just make sure php is part of your hosting service. That’s it. You do not have to program anything yourself.
That’s the way I like it! Thanks for all the help Jan…!!!
I am using Nick Cates Photo as well and I can recommend it.
