I know there is a gallery on the to-do list - I would like to suggest something to make your life a lot easier. ;)
Integrate TinyBloc with:
http://gallery.menalto.com/
It's open-source, and already integrates with other portals (Nuke, Mambo, etc.). It's also an excellent system, so you don't need to make one from the ground up. With only a little bit of work, it should snap right in with your project.
Interesting but I'm waiting for Bloc, 'coz what he incudes will be seamless.
You can have gallery work with TinyPortal already. I'm not sure what you mean I guess. Are you talking about Bloc's themes? That's a whole different animal. I seem to remember Bloc saying he was going to add his own gallery to tinyportal though.

Gallery has a membership system, where users can register, log in, upload & comment on photos, etc.ÃÆ'ââ,¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ, It can pull its user information from a portal system that it is integrated with, to make it nearly seamless.ÃÆ'ââ,¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ, That, and the themes, too (Same colors, blocks, etc.).
I'm using Gallery embedded in PHP-Nuke now (and I want to drop nuke like a ... well, like a nuke...), and the integration is nearly seamless.ÃÆ'ââ,¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ, You can see it at http://gallery.knightrealms.com as an example of the embedded version (vs. the non-embedded version at http://www.knightrealms.com/modules/Gallery ).
TinyPortal uses the SMF forums membership system too. Which is why I suggested you can have TinyPortal and the Gallery on the same system. Only thing TinyPortal won't do at the moment is share it's theme. I actually use the TinyPortal and Gallery on my website, but the gallery uses the osx theme.
I aim for an internal gallery, just to keep everything controlled from SMF - makes life easy when upgrading and just don't really need any special attention.
There are a lot of good scripts that I reckon could be integrated..but this was what made me start this from the beginning - not using several scripts, but having all in one place and using the SMF theme system to make it look like you want. The TP modules will have their own template, like the frontpage or tpadmin section ones, and I think its easier to maintain/expand/customise those because you only need to learn one system - SMF.
This might help.

I would prefer to see Gallery as part of TP as is currently planned. The major issue of having the theme look the same for the whole site when you have a CMS, forum, and Gallery happens constantly. TP offers all of the site including a Gallery (once it is included) having the same theme. If a person makes a TP compatible theme, then their whole site will be one cohesive theme, which will not require having to mod a bunch of areas to have them all look the same.
Currently, I have a couple of Mambo + SMF sites, and a lot of others use Mambo + SMF + Coppermine sites, and we are always having to battle the differences between each of those systems to make the entire site appear to have the same theme. Thus, I definitely prefer for TP to have a gallery included with it as then any TP compatible theme will have that Gallery look exactly like it should, so I will not have to fool around getting a bunch of stuff for it to work with it. Even a separate mod Gallery would require more work to get it working in other themes than having the Gallery part of TP.
Just my take on the idea, so I think it is great Bloc will have a Gallery with TP :)
I know this is resurrecting a long-dead thread (well, at least a month or so dead), but integrating themes between G2 and TP/SMF really isn't that hard (if G2 is embedded).ÂÃ, All you have to do is copy the gallery2 stylesheet into the TP/SMF stylesheet and do a bit of editing... sometimes it's nothing more than adding the class name to an existing TP/SMF class, so that it takes on the same characteristics.
I'm glad that Oldiesmann is working on a G2/SMF/TP integration project, but I'm also interested to see what Bloc comes up with for a gallery.
I installered Gallery2 into the SMF directory as I read on another site. I dont know if what caused the problem, but the copyrights vanished from the page and messed the whole site up. It was SMF 1.1B3, TP 0.74 and Gallery2.
So I'm with Bloc on this, best to have one built into the system we are using, and no rely on outside updates, support, etc.
(No disrespect the the writers of the other galleries meant).
if you install gallery in it own folder under smf you would have been OK-- do not install it so it over rights smf files. G2 need to be under smf so g2 files will be in the correct path IEÂÃ, smf\gallery2
http://www.rranderson.com/dvd/gallery/main.php
I installed it in the smf doirectory smf/gallery as you said above and it messed smf up big time. So it is history. I now have my old coppermine gallery resurected, and showing using the static page mod and an iFrame and it looks perfect.
Bloc hasn't let us down yet, let's see what he comes up with.
Theme management on different systems is a friggen time killer. I can't stand it...
Seamless intergration is what we need...
waiting for 0.8 to be out. :(
i really wanted to integrate a gallery to my boards but coppermine seem sto be the only one that bridges well.
any comments on coppermine vs gallery?
WELL??? What ever happened to last years efforts? DId Bloc come up with a seamless solution for gallery integration? I am a newbie and came across this post....
Will all wait and see what all Bloc has for us. :)

For a first post, that wasent really a nice way to come forward with a question.
And if you check the leftside of the portal here you have a link called RoadMap in the Content Block.
There you can read all about the progress, and whats on the way in the next release of Tinyportal :)

I can't recall ever saying I would integrate Gallery 2 with TP..?
A gallery module is planned for the portal, but it will only be internal.
Thanks bloc. ;) Thanks for everything.
oops :o....sorry Bloc didnt mean gallery as in "Gallery 2" however, meant gallery (photos and all...) integration as in seemless, one log on...sorry for the mix up. :)
It's odd that this came up today, as I just uninstalled Coppermine because of a bug that I couldn't find a solution too. I tried the other two open source galleries but they are a little on the difficult side to learn or rather I don't want to spend a great deal of time learning it.
4Images was confusing I never could find a home page to start from and Gallery2 offers much but there was a great deal of installing on the server myself of some features and I just got a headache and stop.
If Bloc will be doing this in the near future I will wait for his creation rather than go back to Coppermine. I would like the ability to upload video to a gallery and I never found that offered in Coppermine but Gallery2 did have it but was one of the features I needed to add to the server myself. So, I'll wait, it isn't too pressing right now to have gallery.
There is a very simple alternative gallery available and it works very well with smf/tp

Wow thanks Techno I am using this now!

Wow thanks Techno I am using this now!
no problem...i even wrote how to integrate it into the forum...if you have any questions just ask!
kool I just downloaded and unzipped it. Ill backup everything tomorrow and try an install.
Does it use forum theme? I guess I'll find out lamo.
Yes it uses the tp smf theme.
it does, but i did not like the way it worked so i modified some of the code to better integrate it.
http://forum.technodragon.net/index.php?action=gallery
You should be able to see it, if not then you'll have to register, but it turned out very well how i did it (not to toot my own horn mind you)
Hey technodragon I like that very much so how did you do that? I like that alot better the way it shows up. now.
Really nice, tech ;)
I've some problems after install and test (but I really love it), see the picture:

post the contents of your files....I'll take a look at them. You only need the gallery template in the default folder. Plus you need to remember to add the action to your index.php file.
Uploading is easy...just click the uplod button to do that.
Well done, now we need looking for a random images block from the SMF gallery ;D
http://stormlrdsreality.co.uk/rhcforum/index.php?action=forum
the gallery smoothly integrates with smf and uses the same databases.
http://tpvgames.co.uk/
Nice ! How to set it in SMF board and change style CSS same as your forum ?Ã, ;)
its already designed to use your theme style sheet
its designed to integrate and bridge directly to smf
write now trying to help the writers figure out how to do a direct integration into the boardindex

There is no HONEST timeline to release TP 1.0.

Why would we put a time limit on something that is done on someones free time?
Also as a sidenote, WHEN tp V1 is released, it will still not have the gallery, teampage or link page module done in it.
The reason it have talen so long is
1. Blocs time to build on it have been very limited, New job, family, move to a new house etc etc.
2. Bloc have more or less rewritten the entire TP so it will be a lot more for the future.
3. A lot of changes to the functions.
Any more discussions about when where and how or timelimits, will simply be locked and not answerd on.
It's released, announced and downloadablae when you get the mail about it.
Hiya Folks - Let me say firstly that I <3 TP and many of my PET projects rely on Tiny Portal.
Im asking because I've been asking for years to be told that it would be next year, and the year after that. I can understand the situation completely.
However, when I look down @ the copyright and see: TinyPortal v1.0.3 © Bloc ... I start thinking, wait a sec... if they're already past 1.0 and 1.0.1 and 1.0.2 then why isnt it released yet.
Thanks for the replies everyone.
Topic locked
Told you allready if you read what i wrote.
Not another discussion about a release date now please !
