For long time i've searched for a simple picture-gallery working out of the box.
All suggestions i've read in the meantime are to complicated, complex or not usable for me. I've found, that many other users have the same problem.
Therefore I wrote my own picture-gallery. It implements a new node-type to show all pictures in an specified directory. Descriptions will be automatically generated from the filenames, so there is no need to administer a seperate databse table, etc.
My gallery works with automated generetated thumbnails so it seems to be fast.
It can use Lightbox2 or colorbox to simply generate lightshows and naturally it makes use of user configurable css-files to style the gallery. Some styles will be delivered with the module, so users don't eb worried about this.
The Permission Sets module adds an abstraction layer between the roles that are associated with users and the permissions that are granted by those roles.
This module integrates with the Twitter API allowing the user to perform searches on the Twitter network. The results can then be programmed to tweet back automated responses when certain conditions are met.
This module is designed to take a page generated by your site and break it into a header and footer for use in creating a wrapper for an external site. This is useful when you have other sites providing content for you on their domain and you need your design wrapped around their content. Based on the capabilities of the other site, they can dynamically request the header and footer so that it is always up to date or you may cut and paste the generated HTML into their administrative systems when an update is required. This module takes care of modifying relative links and references to images/js/css files and will save a copy of aggregated JS and CSS files so that they remain available even through aggregation cache clearing.
