I am looking for a simple script to facilitate hosting and sharing pictures. In a nutshell - I need a place to upload a picture or two really fast and get the HTML code to embed that picture somewhere (e.g. here on the forums).
Specifically, I need something that is:
What I totally don't care for, and what would probably be a drawback:
That's pretty much it. Sounds pretty basic but I can't find a good implementation so far Everything is bloated with features I don't need.
Any recommendations much appreciated!
P.S. I will host it on LAMP, MySQL is OK (I know some scripts brag about being MySQL-free - I don't care for that.)
Specifically, I need something that is:
- (ideally) freeware (I can pay for s script if it's fabulously good)
- allows multiple file uploads in some convenient fashion (some scripts take ZIP files - that would be great);
- allows hotlinking (i.e., once uploaded, the link to the image shouldn't ever change, even if I move the image to an album);
- generates thumbnails of configurable size;
- generates pastable IMG code:
- HTML
- (ideally) BBcode
- (ideally) HTML for multiple images at once (a table with thumbnails)
- is secure:
- uploads are login-protected (duh)
- gallery/album access is also restrictable (I want to share individual images, but I don't want anyone to roam in my stash)
What I totally don't care for, and what would probably be a drawback:
- fancy Flash-based gallery view modes (this will rarely be used as a gallery by anyone except myself)
- "hotlink protection" (I need the script exactly for the purpose of hotlinking, so would have to disable)
- forced auto-resize or auto-quality for JPEGs (the script I run now re-saves every image with predefined quality - that is BAD, I want the images to be stored as is)
That's pretty much it. Sounds pretty basic but I can't find a good implementation so far Everything is bloated with features I don't need.
Any recommendations much appreciated!
