    Hello :)

    I have been having such a rough time trying to find a gallery system that would work for me and my group. I volunteer for a animal rescue organization and have been through 5 cms and 6 image gallery systems trying to figure out how best to set up our website. Now I have no knowledge of php, javascript, am learning html and css, but I have gotten pretty far in figuring it out on my own.

    The plogger software seems like it would be a perfect fit, but I just don't understand how I am to get my gallery intergrated onto a page on my site. I am currently using Modx as our CMS, which is great, but just can't get a gallery going. It is afterall the most important part of our site.

    I also, was wondering if there was a way to add fileds to the images. So we can categorize the dogs by age, gender, good with kids....

    Any help would be VERY much appreciated. I think I might just cry soon!!!

    Hi Julie -

    I've just taken a look at the ModX CMS, and I'm not sure that you are going to be able to integrate Plogger directly into one of their pages, as they generate html pages, not php pages. If it's possible for you to add just a link to the site navigation using ModX, you can simply link to your Plogger gallery install that way, and modify the Plogger theme to look like the rest of your website. If you want your website menu to appear in the gallery as well, I did find a tutorial over in the ModX wiki that tells you how to do that.

    The extra fields you asked about would be similar to being able to add tags to images, and we haven't implemented tag support in Plogger just yet. However, you should be able to add a line in the description field in each image listing the attributes that you would like to include for each animal. Example:

    TAGS: Female, 12 years old, good with kids, needs fenced yard

    Then your visitors can use the Search field to enter one of those tags, and any image that has one of those in the description should come up in the search results.

    Hope this helps. :)
