I've been trying to find an image gallery that plays nice with our custom CMS. I've evaluated a number of them, but none of them seems to have the feature list that I would like:
Run on LAMP environment
Free software or low license costs (the website belongs to a non-profit organisation)
Multi-user support
Multiple albums. We're posting concert pictures, and would like an album per event.
Pluggable authentication system. I want to reuse the accounts we have for our CMS. Permissions can be done inside the gallery itself, but I want to have a single sign on solution in a maintainable manner, by writing my own plugin/add-on for the software.
Upload support (multiple images at the same time)
And preferrably also:
Can be integrated into a PHP page layout without IFRAMEs
Automatic resizing of uploaded images to a maximum size
Ability for visitors to place comments
This combination is proving hard to find, especially the authentication requirement. I don't want to mess around all over the place in the source code to make it use the existing authentication. A plugin would be ideal, but alternatively a well thought out software design that allows for maintainable surgical changes would be acceptable.
Any suggestions on which software I should take a closer look into?
