Which photo gallery should I use?

[henryvuong]

I am in the process of building a discussion board and a photo gallery for a club of 20 people. For the board, I'll use phpBB2.

The available photo galleries with Fantastico are 4images, Coppermine and Gallery. Which one is the best? Also, is any of those galleries integrated with phpBB2, i.e. registered users of the board can post comments on the gallery without registering separately?

Thanks

I think most people like Coopermine better but I'm partial to Gallery 2. Gallery has a lot of nice little extras that are useful for embeding pics in webpages as well as forum posts.

As for incorporating the userbases with phpBB I know it's possible for both coppermine and gallery but I prefer keeping them seperate. Sooner or later you'll need to upgrade one of the scripts and it's really a pain to deal with them linked. :(

If its a forum. Use COPPERMINE.

If its like a blog type thing use Gallery2.

Ive used both and i simply love Gallery2 and how it integrates so smoothly but Coppermine is just better for multi-user enviornment.

As Yanyan already said, Coppermine is better for boards, and it has some nice plugins too. You can integrate it easily with phpBB, SMF and even Joomla :-)
