Coppermine is an easily set-up, fast, feature-rich photo gallery script with mySQL database, user management, private galleries, automatic thumbnail creation, ecard feature and a template system for easy customization to match the rest of a site.
First of all I must point out that I respect the hard work of the developers. Second, I cannot recommend Coppermine. I decided to use it as an alternative to Gallery (https://sourceforge.net/projects/gallery/) because I was looking for something more simple and faster to install. BUT: even though the installation of Coppermine is very easy and fast, its look and feel is very disappointing. The interface isn't very intuitive and hard to use especially for unexperienced users respectively visitors. Considering the level of knowledge of most of my friends and family members, this piece of software would cause lots of frustration, I am sure of that. Therefore, unless you don't have any real reason to ignore Gallery, you should give it a try first. I recommend to start with the minimum installation version and add desired modules lateron. It's extremely easy to do this, and I am more than expressed. Finally, I hope that my review helps others to make a decision, reviews like "+", "cool" etc. should be _deleted_ as they are quite useless for new users. Comments are welcome: no.reply@gmx.de
Coppermine is the best way to integrate pictures into Joomla CMS. Very cool and easy!
Template could be nicer, but all over cool peace of software
