I need somebody to install this script for me and redesign the theme to give the whole installation a piczo like look, as that is what my installation is supposed to become.

Please post your offers here and include previous work if available.

Best Regards

Sorry Rico,

we already have someone doing this for us now. What we still need is some tagging functionality in case you know somebody to program this.

Best Regards

You mean to tag the pictures like flickr using the EXIF headers ? There is a great PHP toolkit that I use that does a great job for that, you can probably provide this to your coder and see if he'd like to do it.

If not I can help you with that :-)

Not sure if that is how Flickr does it. If you take a look at http://flickr.com/photos/george/tags/ for example, you see how flickr uses tags.

Is that what the PHP toolkit does? I doubt it as the flickr tag kind of code is on the wishlist for features.

Best Regards

The PHP toolkit allow for reading and writing stuff into the EXIF header. It includes GPS tags and all sort of stuff.

It's one way to store "tags" related to a picture, the best way of course might be to use the database as you would have unlimited amount of tags. both solutions have pros and cons.

With the Tags in EXIF, you don't loose the tags as long as you have the picture but the piture gets bigger with the amount of tag (so you would want to limit the number)

With the Database based tagging, you have unlimited tags but you have to make sure you never loose your database otherwise everything is gone rgarding your tags :-)

It's up to you which one you like best ;-). they will both take the same amount of effort to program.

Let me know !

I see, thanks a lot for clarifying, I am not that much of a tech person :-)

How about performance? If the PHP toolkit has to search through 1000s of picture EXIF headers, won't that take very very long and use up a lot of performance?

You know you may not be a tech person but you are right. searching throught headers can be very time consuming as the header are not always placed at the same spot within the pic... I know that's stupid (what you gonna do)

If you're interested I could look into developping a module that would allow tags to be added for the pictures. Tags would be stored in the database at first and then we can see what's best. Then I could create a special page where you see all the tags and can select pictures that way :-)

It shouldn't be too much effort but I though this already planned for Gallery ?

Let me know what you think. Also I think I sent you a PM for another request you made ;-)
