Hello Amit, Iam running a wordpress blog on pictures, but iam not satisfied with the looks and am looking for some ind of Wallpapers or Image Gallery script which can help me in setting up a excellent looking site with advertisement options and which is also SEO Friendly and allows to me to Automatically Resize all the uploaded Images into multiple sizes or the size i want. Is it possible for a free script to offer all this stuff?
First of all as usual my recommendation has always been the 4Images script from the 4homepages.de website which is completely free and has a large forum with many helpful members who are ready to help you out in setting up to customization to looks of the whole wallpapers site. First of all i would recommend you to check out a live website which is based on this script to give you a idea on how the categories look like and what all front end feature does this support. Its available on a wallpapers gallery which was setup 2 years back and till now there have been around 5 million views to the different wallpapers added there.
The script offers you with a advanced backend where in you have options to create Categories & Sub Categories under which all the wallpapers would be listed and then the script would allow you to configure the size of the thumbnails you want to generate on your gallery site. First of all you need to download the script from the official website and install it using the ftp software and by creating a new database, or else login to your Cpanel > Fantastico option using which you can install a full version within seconds.
Next you need to login to your Admin Section where the main interface would be showing you the latest visitors to your website along with their IP address and the pages they are currently viewing under a column called as who’s online. The stats section would list down the total number of Categories, Images uploaded to the website, the total size of the Media Directory, Thumbnail Directory size, Users who have signed up for the site and the size of the database.
The next section would list the Top 5 Categories by hits, Top 5 images by hits, Top 5 images by rating, Top 5 images by votes & Top 5 images by downloads. On the left section you will find options to Create & Edit Categories, Images section would allow you to Edit Images, Add Images, Validate Images to check if there are any broken links, Check new Images allows you to find out newly added Images using ftp software. Auto-Thumbnailer option allows you to find out the already generated thumbnails and check database for missing thumbnails. Next the Auto-Image-Resize option allows you to select a Category, Resize Image Files to the Image file size of your choice which you need to mention in pixels along with the Resize proportions and Image Quality.
The script allows you to have a comments section below the Images section, though its recommended to block this section since you are going to get a major of spam here in. The General settings section allows you to Use GZip compression for fast loading along with the level of compression. You can easily change the Image settings along with the Image width and upload settings. While doing a quick search you wont be able to find the links to the SEO Mod which you need to install to get Google Friendly URL ie SEO Optimized wallpapers gallery which would get quickly indexed and rank well along with which the site would have excellent Categories Structure and each Wallpaper Page would have a detailed page with the keywords in the URL.
It’s a good script. I also use it one of sites. It works wonder.
How about use a Wallpaper Scripts to build a gallery?
