Members catphish Posted August 18, 2008 Members Share Posted August 18, 2008 if you received an invoice that said the site would contain a "photo gallery" what exactly would you say that would be functionality wise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Renfield Posted August 18, 2008 Members Share Posted August 18, 2008 EDIT: I pasted in the wrong window. Joys of dual monitors I suppose. I'd say the parameters of what kind of photo gallery is desired needs to be hammered out. I can make several types in a few languages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members t3ch Posted August 18, 2008 Members Share Posted August 18, 2008 Yeah that's pretty generic... Anymore details you could share? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members catphish Posted August 18, 2008 Author Members Share Posted August 18, 2008 We had a website done. On the invoice was "photo gallery" listed as one of the things going to be included in this invoice. We paid it. What we got wasn't what we discussed, which is really all that matters in my mind, but I'm curious if the term means something to people in the field. What, if any, functionality generally would be included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What, if any, functionality generally would be included. Again, generic. I'm not sure how to explain a photo gallery's functionality. It's exactly what it means/sounds like. A page with a collection of photos that you can view, normally with auto resizing/thumbnailing built in, ability to divide photos into different galleries or albums or whatever your specific one happens to be callled, etc... This probably doesn't answer your question but again I'm confused as to what you're asking. There's no grand "functionality" to it besides it being a way to organize pictures.

Members Rowka Posted August 18, 2008 Members Share Posted August 18, 2008 That's like being invoiced for "a bass." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Super Bass Posted August 18, 2008 Members Share Posted August 18, 2008 I'd expect something like Coppermine photo gallery or a similar photo gallery. You should be able to upload the pictures and use them in the photogallery with descriptions and different albums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members catphish Posted August 18, 2008 Author Members Share Posted August 18, 2008 That's like being invoiced for "a bass." Yes. Unfortunately I never saw the invoice until yesterday. I wasn't the one it was sent to, or paid it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members t3ch Posted August 18, 2008 Members Share Posted August 18, 2008 This is what we wanted, and didn't get. I'm not sure it can be called a photo gallery then. I mean, you can have a page setup to organize photos into tables or some such... But that's not really what I would consider a "photo gallery". That's just "spacing {censored} out" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members i_wanna_les_paul Posted August 18, 2008 Members Share Posted August 18, 2008 It appears to be this: Coppermine Photo Gallery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members chunky-b Posted August 18, 2008 Members Share Posted August 18, 2008 You can inbed a Google Picassa photo gallery for free in a website... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members t3ch Posted August 18, 2008 Members Share Posted August 18, 2008 THAT is what we wanted....is that a program I can embed into a site? I think it's made to be more used as a complete front end, but I've personally never used it. Maybe SB can be of more help. Checkout their website in the meantime though... http://coppermine-gallery.net/ It's open source, so you can always install it and take it off if it's not your thing.

Members Boosterbleep Posted August 18, 2008 Members Share Posted August 18, 2008 What did your spec say ? If it only said a photo gallery then you got what you paid for. If the agreed spec says something different then you should take it up with the developer. What anyone else considers a photo gallery is immaterial, the only thing that matters is the agreed spec.

Members Super Bass Posted August 18, 2008 Members Share Posted August 18, 2008 Yes, it can be embedded/integrated. It's also free! I've used it before very well. Actually I'll probably set it up on my site again soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members t3ch Posted August 18, 2008 Members Share Posted August 18, 2008 What is a spec? He's asking what work was specifically laid out and agreed upon. If you just said "photo gallery" it leaves room for interpretation. If you lined out what functionality you needed, you have room to question the work done.

Members catphish Posted August 18, 2008 Author Members Share Posted August 18, 2008 Specification. yeah, i figure that much... is that some standard part of ordering for websites? We never had a spec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
