Need to build a simple image management

  • Hey,

    I have a client who wants a really minimalistic photography portfolio. His current site has a basic management system which allows uploading, arranging the display order and deleting. He wants something similar. Anyone know of a good tutorial? Id rather stay away from CMS if possible as the features im wanting are so simple as is my knowledge of PHP sadly...

    Would be appreciated if anyones aware of something like this!

    Regards

  • Personally, I would download an image upload script and edit it to my liking. As well as creating a file that will read the files in the image folder which will let you rename the pictures and what not.
  • Why don't you build it via cargocollective.com it's designed for the creative community.

    Check out this guy's site...

    I have mine there, I'm using a slightly more complex theme...

  • My main concern is making sure the backend is as straight forward as possible, will have a look tonight. Thanks for the input!!!

  • I just read this. Might be worth looking at
  • Well I ended up using GalleryCMS for the backend, very simple and similar enough to the previous system he was using. It also exports the gallery as JSON or XML, now just looking for a good image viewer that's ideally non-flash!

    Thanks for the advice folks, if anyone can suggest a good image viewer for the front end would be great. In fact if you'd like to just build it for me that would be even better ;-p
