You could look at a school photo album. We have one available on our intranet available to authorised users only. We use JAlbum but there are others such as coppermine etc.

 

How often are photo's taken then left on a drive for ever more.

We are in the process of updating our website and have added some RSS feeds from the BBC on education and have introduced countdown timers for student deadlines.

 

Do you use a content management system? You have an impressive website.

i wrote my own content management system, the entire site is written my me lol

 

am currently writing a VLE with an assessment system in there.

 

oh the headache.

 

the gallery uses the same (well similar) code to part of the vle, staff simply paste photos into a drive mapping and the code reads them and displays as pictures.

they do have to resize them but i just packaged the windows powertoy so they just highlight them and then right click resize so they load quicker on the webby.

 

ah well back to the coding currently putting off writng my own youtube system for the website

 

just wish i was paid to do website stuff!!!
