Yes
hope this is in the right section.

I currently use web album generator to display galleries online, but i would like to find new gallery software and 'cart' software for if any one wishes to buy prints online, also a gallery that prevents 'right clicking to save picture' would be good.

Any ideas or recommendations, or know of any sites that have a good set up?

thanks

Andy
 
google up Jalbum, it's free and supports paypal ordering :thumbs:
 
Yep. I'd recommend Jalbum. Check out my site and you'll see it in action (only the galleries).

It isn't anti right-click though. Hence my fairly bold watermarks.
 
I use gallery2 and it supports PayPal payments for online ordering (in fact i got my first order from it yesterday - just shy of £100). It also allows photo downloads as a sales option. Most decent webhosting companies have it on a one click install (heart internet does, p.s. if you click here any buy a hosting account I do get some money)

Again it isn't anti-right click but it does allow you to restrict the size seen for guests - I personally use 400px long edge for preview with a 640x long edge download for ePhotos (designed for personal website / digital photo frame use). It does also have an easy to use remote upload tool when you have lots of uploading to do.
 
Jalbum does have right click protection with certain skins. Chamelon, for example, includes it.
 
wow, ima give that a try :D, and there i was searching for an ecommerce web designer (ouch £££!)
 
im stuck :(:(:(:(!!! just spent ages gettin the jalbum album (hey that rhymes! lol) all perfect, and now when it's all finished i've tested it by hitting the 'add to cart' button for a pic, and the currency on Paypal is in bloody $$$!! Even though I have tried putting either GBP or £ in the currency section on the album creator software...it shows up as £ in the album, just not in paypal :( what to do?? help!!
 
I have just had this problem. And it is GBP that you want to use in the currency field.

It's probably a caching issue with your browser, 'cos once you use GBP, it's GBP that appears in the album, and £'s used by PayPal, but with GBP after the price. Take a look at my site for an example.

:D
 
Try remaking the album from scratch and not just the changes, could be that Jalbum doesn't think anything's changed for that setting?
 
kewl!! i did it!! :D thanx!...it was the GBP after the prices.
i've done it for one of my event photo albums (viewable here), just the basic template one to start, but sure makes things look nice and tidey!
and thanx to whoever mentioned jalbum, as it's super ace, just tryin to make up my mind for definite (out of the 100's!) of possible awesome skins :D, has saved me £1000's, seriously! flash ecommerce site designers aint cheap :D, good thing i plan to study that at college next year too (hehehehe!)
 
right click protection? it doesn't work because you can easily go to view>page source if you wanted to nick an image (unless its a flash site).
 
well duh, or a screenshot if you're really determined, just acts as a deterrent. lol
 
snappyt, I've always thought there had to be a way around it.

englandshottest2, glad you got it sorted. Jalbum is pretty nifty, even if it is a bit of a headache setting it up the way you want it.

pxl8, just wondering how you've gotten your website menu to work in your galleries too? I could really do with that on my own site. :)

I inserted the code into the header section for the slide and index pages.
 
anybody know of any other 'cart/ecommerce' software :D always looking for that sort of stuff for my endless other websites :D:D:D
 
http://www.oscommerce.com can be used for photos with a plug in but is a great peice of software and best of it is free.

If this is true can you try it with my site as I cannot get View>Source to show anything.

I use Photium and it is not a flash based gallery. I do have right clicking disabled.
 
I am unable to get view source to work but if you go file - save as and save the website to your computer the images are then saved in the folder as jpg's and quite a nice quality they are to!!! I would put one here but that might be a bit wrong....
 
how can i get my jalbum album (rhyme again lol :D) uploaded on my actual website....instead of it showing up as mysitename.jalbum.net? My site is under CPanel software (HTML based)...anybody know :D:D:D?
 
You will need to know the sites FTP details or use the file upload software within CPanel......if you go the FTP way you will need some software installing on your computer.....or you can use the built in file upload software within jalbum just edit the site details.

does not stop mozilla firefox...
 
finally got a quick Jalbum gallery up and running on my other site, it works great when you figure it all out.

To be honest im pretty good with computers and techno geeky stuff, but even i was getting frustrated with it all.

just a case of trying to work out all the different options and fine tune it all to get the look im after.

Cheers for the advice everyone
 
If you're really determined you can even get the images from a flash gallery - just download the .swf file and decompile it using any number of apps. We just have to accept it, if someone wants to pinch an image they will.
 
Let me get this right then.

If I upload an image of say 8mb to my photium page, this gets rescaled for the web (by the software automatically) at say 700 x 400 pxl, surely this image is not good enough for a printed version if it is 'stolen'.

I do not want to bore anyone I am just curious.

No, it's pretty crap and won't come out overly well... but those people that are bothered about nicking stuff aren't generally bothered about quality. Sad fact of the internet I'm afraid :(

Where does the 8mb file go once you've uploaded it?

This I am not so sure of. I will ask.

With Photium I upload via a Java interface and this then resizes to whatever it decides usually 700 pxl or so on the longest side.

Used Page info tab in Firefox to quickly grab this:

I've never used the software, but I wonder whether it uploads, resizes then discards the original, it wouldn't make sense to store it anywhere from their point of view :)

Photium replied that they do not download the file and store it. It only uploads a resized version.

Yup, that's unadulterated ignorance for you!

If you upload max. 800x600 images at 72dpi, they will not be printable in true photo quality at usable sizes.
No need to deface your own beautiful images with 'watermarking' grafitti.
