nGallery is a FREEWARE, OPEN SOURCE implementation of a image gallery written purely in managed .NET and C#.
nGallery provides a solution to store and display your image galleries on your own Web site, as well as providing means for customizing and extending nGallery to your own personal likings.
This release features many new enhancements include sub-albums, picture ratings, slide shows, picture view counts, an improved admin interface, image scaling enhancements, and much much more!
System Requirements:
- Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS)
- Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 *
- Ability to manage directory-level permissions
- Ability to configure a directory as an application directory (for global.asax processing)
- While a database is not required, if you wish to run the SQL Server data provider you obviously must have access to Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 or above.
* = nGallery is currently untested with Mono.
Features:
- Allows creation and customization of Albums to contain your images

- Allows you to quickly send an e-mail with a link of your gallery, a specific album or a specific image to a friend or list of friends
- The look and feel of your nGallery is fully customizable, without touching any code
- Supports the concept of "skinning" where users can customize the look and feel of nGallery and then easily share those with the community
- Integrates with Shutterfly so that you can transfer and print images
- Allows you to customize the album-listing page to be either in line or a grid layout
- Configures almost all features in one central text file
- Allows you to secure the administration tool
- Allows you to password protect your entire photo gallery
If upgrading from v1.0 and using SQL Server, be sure to run the update script in the 'sql' directory. Also, it is recomment that you clear the pictures cache to take advantage of the improved thumbnailing. To do this, log into the admin interface and click "Clear Picture Cache" on the left hand menu under "Actions".
