Camera Life is a system for cataloging your photo collection. Camera Life gives users the ability to search or browse your archive in intuitive ways, with an attention to powerful administrative functions.
Camera Life is a full-featured PHP/MYSQL photo gallery. Automatically organizes photos, supports logging and undoing changes to the site, users and privileges, and a simple installer.
Camera Life integrates with iPhoto, Digikam, RSS, and uses microformats.
Here are some key features of "Camera Life":
· Self Updating: Camera Life will automatically cache and thumbnail photos it finds in your system. Photos are automatically assorted into Albums based on their descriptions.
· Photo Albums: Users can browse your photos by file system hierarchy (files in folders), or by Albums. An Album is a collection of photos containing a certain word in their description. Since the system knows which photos are related, it can suggest photos that a user may be interested in while they are browsing.
· Security: Users sign up for accounts from the main page. An Admin can then grant privileges to users (Administer:User Manager:Users). You can also integrate Camera Life into your own authentication system by creating a module.
· Non-destructive: Changes to your site are all logged and undoable. You can allow anyone to contribute photo descriptions, and then easily rollback changes in the event of defacement. (Administer::Log Viewer)
· Extensible: You can easily add themes or iconset to your site, or integrate with your existing CMS or template system.
· Web 2.0: Camera Life supports microformats and rss and some of the interface is done with AJAX. It supports photocasting through an RSS feed.
