Coppermine gallery
In a previous post I introduced to you the 4images gallery script – one of the gallery applications available to all hosting users to install with the Elefante Installer. Now I would like to present Coppermine – another gallery script and a quite sophisticated one I should add.
Coppermine gallery is written in PHP and uses MySQL database to store data. Using the 1-click script installer integrated within FreeHostia’s web hosting control panel you can install Coppermine for free in a matter of minutes.
With a wide variety of features Coppermine is a great choice for your web gallery. Pictures can be arranged in albums and categories with different access permissions. Users can register on your website and post comments, interact with each other, upload and rate pictures etc.
Like 4images, Coppermine has a template system that allows you to personalize the look of your gallery by editing the default template or uploading new templates. In addition it is multi-lingual, so you can have it in your own language.
One very neat feature is the integration with popular bulleting boards like SMF, phpBB, vBulletin and other popular forums. It integrates the user management and users that register to your forum have access to the gallery and vice-versa.
Coppermine could be installed with the Elefante Installer both by free hosting users and paid hosting users and it does not require any special technical knowledge to do it.
