Project Description:
Enhanced Simple PHP Gallery is an open source software module originally designed as a simple way to post photos online. With version 2.0, it has been completely overhauled to support detailed annotation ("footnotes") of objects (such as artwork or photos), including citations, dimensions, latitude/longitude and other identification metadata.

Features:

Automatic thumbnail generator
Automatic pagination
Ability to edit names, descriptions and alt attributes online
Ability to upload images online
Valid XHTML 1 Strict Mark-Up
Ability to delete individual images and directories
Comment system
Random thumbnail next to category
Ability to change thumbnail quality
RSS Feed (undocumented, check files for info.)
Language File
and more...

Demo:
To see the code in action, Please visit http://memory.palace.org/demo/.

Warnings (carried over from version 1.7):
If the config sub folder is uploaded, open the config/validate.php file and amend the username/password. If this is set the same as the main gallery, then you only have to login once to access this.

To access the online config editor, from the gallery directory, open /config/index.php

Note: this is experimental, and has not been fully tested, be sure to backup your sp_config.php comments.php includes some settings at the top of the script that may need amending, however I would recommned that: $comment_settings['admin_email'] = email@invalid.invalid; is amended to your own email address. If you don't you run the risk of missing a comment added to one of your images.
