Alpha 3b is a security update and highly recommended!

* search engine friendly URLs (router integrated)
New Features in Alpha 2:
* w3c valide code
* advanced photo managment

* basic bbcode
* ordering for categories
* no absolute path needed
New Features in Alpha 3:
* RokBox already integrated
* better error handling
* possibility to publish and unpublish categories, blogs, photographer, licenses and stacks
* ordering for categories
* adjustable size for RokBox (for example used for including wikipedia links)
* framebreaker (useful for google image search)
* javascript input validation in backend
* hopefully a better usability :-)
Changes in Alpha 3a:

* Preventing SQL injections

It feature all the options I need so far. But I find at the end, that I need one more important feature: blog order. It has the option to order the categories, but no the blogs.

Nice gallery, a bit confuse in the beginning but along the way you should do just fine! Waiting for final release...

I didn't finish activating the gallery, I guess is not that difficult to use. I could not proceed when I found that the gallery actually require every picture to be named/labeled and upload one by one.
This gallery allow picture to be saved by web user, most gallery don't, which is what I required. Till they allow mass upload I have to move on.

love the demo and can't wait to get it working. i installed like the directions say but i think something is missing. it says put in absolute and relative path but it doesn't appear in the frontend.
needs a little more detailed instructions and this should be a great plugin. backend works fine and it great with lots of features.

Hey, thanks for your comment...
You can set the absolute path at the configuartion view in the backend.
But maybe it's better to wait to the next version, which I like to publish in 5-7 days... In the new version (alpha 2) an advanced photo managment system would be integrated...
After I launched the new version, I start to write a documentation...
