ffGallery is a user-friendly photo gallery software made with PHP and javascript. It can be personalized and tailored to specific needs, offering a simple solution for hosting and displaying images on the web.
One of the big selling points of ffGallery is its browser compatibility. The software has been tested and works well in Firefox 1.0.4, IE 6, and Safari 1.2. While not tested in Konqueror, Netscape, or Camino, it should work just fine. The software is still being improved for Opera, but overall it performs pretty well.
The creator of ffGallery explains that this software was born out of frustration with Flash-based galleries. While these galleries can look really cool, they often come with long load times, browser incompatibilities, and the need for a plug-in. With ffGallery, the aim is to create a Flash-like user experience without any of these drawbacks.
To achieve this, the creator of the software uses CSS for presentation, Javascript for user interaction, PHP for server operations, and the SAJAX Toolkit to link everything together. The result is a gallery that loads quickly, works well in most modern browsers, and doesn't require any plug-ins.
If you're interested in trying out ffGallery, it's worth noting that this software is constantly improving. Recently, the creator added Spanish language files to the software, making it more accessible to a wider audience.
