I've been a photopost user almost since they first started building in the threads user database integration, and its been working semi-ok ever since...<br /><br />Lets just say I have issues with the software and the level of service i get there for the 100's of bucks I have shelled out on many domains...<br /><br />So, i was wondering if there is any other gallery software out there that uses the threads database for user access?<br /><br />I'd like to know of any other alternatives...<br /><br />(I hope that I can also get some good responses to this, even though i know this site is really hard core into photopost...)<br /><br />Deejay

I don't think there is other software as tightly integrated into ubbthreads as photopost is. But it should be possible for Comppermine and Gallery to intergrate with ubbthrads after tweaking on the configuration files.

I think you could use coppermine which would require a certain level of expertise on your part to integrate it into your site... http://coppermine.sourceforge.net/ <br /> <br />Edit: they have integration instructions built in that may prove useful if you look at how they do it for other message boards systems

Wow, opensource!! This coppermine stuff looks really snappy! Thanks guys... <br /> <br />Deej

I've worked with coppermine, I got it to use the same header and footer, etc.. And it checked if you were logged in. Not very hard to do.

I use coppermine as a standalone on one of my sites and it works like a charm with very few issues

Hi,<br /><br />Could you let me know how you did this? Would save me from trying to figure it out myself <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />Sanuk!

One thing, it does NOT use the threads memberbase, just matches the look etc...

Hi,<br /><br />Ah, so users would have to login twice?<br />That might be a bit of a pain as we would like to allow only members from certain groups to use it.<br /><br />Sanuk!

yes, http://www.photopost.com <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />I'm not familiar with coppermine, but they should have some sort of support forum too, you might check to see if an integration mod is available there...

Only thing Allen is I can't afford to buy the license at the moment for PhotoPost <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />I have posted over on their forums, but I don't think many people know much about Threads.<br /><br />I have installed it and its all working, but everyone has to register and log in again, so its ok for the time being until I can get PhotoPost

hmmm... most likely this can be done for the new forum software, it's kinda a lotta work to begin for threads unless the developer is paid. Which I'm saying your time invested in coppermine isn't lost, the integration may be more feasible with the newer version tho. <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I have started to think that. By the time I have funded for a developer to integrate them I might as well pay for PhotoShop <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

Buying photoshop should also be cheaper than hiring a developer to integrate coppermine.

NO WAY...

When you buy a photopost license, you pay about 129 bucks. Thats good for THAT version you install forever... If you ever want to upgrade after one year of use, you HAVE TO re-pay for ANOTHER license!! So far I have fed photopost easily over 600-1000 bucks over 4-5 years, and have received support, although it takes a while and I would love to leave because of the nickle and dime.

Just wait on Rick, UBB will have a photogallery in the next couple major revisions...

I pay $39 for renew my membership
