I'm developing an administrative panel to manage product listings. The database structure is already done and it takes me no effort to make a little panel where administrative users will insert and remove products. But every product has a variable number of images that should to be uploaded by the administrative user. Doing a good work will take me some hours, and I have absolutely no time. So I need something pre-made that will let the administrative user:

  • upload the photos of the product, in a certain server directory (passed as a parameter, for example)
  • delete one or more photos (preferably with a checkbox to select some of them and then a "delete" button)
  • show the thumbnails of the currently uploaded photos
  • sort the photos (I understand that's quite an high request, because sorting means renaming the files!), preferably in an intuitive way (drag & drop, etc...).

It would be awesome if the script could be seamlessly included in an another script without using iframes.

Why don't I just Google for it? That's because I would have to try all the stuff around (when 90% of it is ugly) and I hope you already know a good script you have tested yourself that can work in my scenario!

I've already considered Gallery3, it might work, but it is overkill and hard to integrate. I don't need album creation and management, per-user permissions, or photo showcase and slideshow, what I need it's basically a tiny file manager tailored for images.

There's little time for hiring a developer online, it would take too much to get "in tune" with him/her...

    saving them in a database gives you an easier option to order them. The other options you're requesting are not really hard for an average developer. You could take a look at `codecanyon.net` there are quiet a couple image managers, it's worth looking if there's something that meets your requirements there. – Joshua - Pendo May 06 '11 at 20:13

    Not really any other options if you don't want to spend time getting in tune with a developer. Have you took a look at codecanyon.net already? They have simpel tools for uploading/thumbnailing etc. Only part you have to do is getting them in the database and ordering team (drag & drop is just a bonus imo, simpel +- buttons would work aswel). – Joshua - Pendo May 06 '11 at 22:34
  • @PENDO: in that website I found a script which does quite exactly what I need, it just needs some tweaks. Thanks. That site sells quality stuff. Please delete your comment, post an answer so that I can rate it. – gd1 May 07 '11 at 10:29

I don't know how many of your criteria jAlbum meets, but it might be worth a look. Someone I know has used it extensively with success.

Another one I'm less familiar with, but might suit, is Plogger.

Of course, with the deadline you were facing, you have probably already sorted this by now! :)

  • +1 Good suggestion, but solved with Simple Gallery found on http://www.codecanyon.net – gd1 May 07 '11 at 11:46

Take a look at http://www.codecanyon.net, they might have scripts that fit your needs over 80% and just need little modifications.
