I've been looking at Wordpress plugins for photo galleries (so maybe this is for superuser.com), and I've been very frustrated so far. It seems like what I'd like to do would be a very common use case:
Admin: Be able to upload multiple pictures (at a time)
Admin: Be able to assign a "gallery" to those pictures as I upload them
User: Be able to go to a page with a (paged) list of all galleries
User: Be able to click on gallery and view the images (again, probably paged) in that gallery
User: Be able to click on an image to get larger/largest sizes
User: Be able to leave comments on individual pictures (this is a "nice to have")
The images/galleries could be totally independent of posts/pages, but it would be nice to be able to embed those images/galleries into posts/pages when necessary.
Is there anything out there like this that I'm missing? I've tried a handful of plugins and none of them seem to be for a use case anywhere close to what I'm looking for. One of the reasons I'm trying to use Wordpress is to reduce time spent coding everything I want.
Check out NextGen Gallery. It's a great image gallery plugin for WordPress.
Try taking a look at the this NextGen site for a walkthrough of all it's features.
Here are two other alternatives that look like they may fit what you're looking for (of course, you may have already tried them unsuccessfully):
PhotoSmash Galleries
Post videos and photo galleries
Good Luck!
Tag Gallery may be of interest to you. You can manage your media via tags from the built in Media Library of Wordpress and this plugin builds galleries from your tags. Pretty nifty.

I want to start a photo blog on Wordpress. My Idea is to post raw pictures as posts. 1 pohoto per post. And then users can search for pictures (separate posts) and add them to galleries of their own, and then post those galleries.
Now, I can code this but first I thought to look up for something related, if available, then i'll code it if not found.
So, do you guys know any plugin which can do this or any alternative method for my plan?
thank
* Update:
* The users will post the galleries in my site.
* What I have thought to do is to collect POST IDs of the images/posts which users select for a gallery and put it as an array in the new gallery post, so on POST show request, I'll just get the first image (attached image) from each of those IDs.
This can be done OOTB in WordPress, but something that isn't clear is - are the users posting galleries (a collection of posts) to your site to their profile? or their site?
Short simple answer to your question, plugins normally solves problems - your problem isn't clear. So no, I don't know of a plugin solution.
Heres what I am trying to to:
I want to create a site which allows me to syndicate news from all over the web. I want this to be able to be categorized and possibly tagged.
The process:
I find an article I like, go to my CMS, and add it to my site. To do this I simply want to add a title of an article, a small description, and possibly and image. Then, categorize it, add some tags to it.. and submit it. Now it would appear on my site.
What do you recommend as the CMS of choice? I am thinking wordpress may do the trick?
Any suggestions?
My choice would CMS-Made Simple .
Yes, wordpress would be the way to go. You can type the articles and categorize/tag them. You can also install plugins which will read through RSS feeds you add to create links to other sources of new automatically.
The plgun in question is : FeedWordpress
I have a custom made website and right now each time I want to put some news on the front page of my site I have to edit the HTML and then re-upload via ftp.
I'm trying to find a simple feature/program that will allow me to post news to my site without manually having to edit the html and possibly allowing it to have comments.
I've tried wordpress but that seems to have too many features. For example it makes me pick a template, which I don't need because I have a custom website. And it has categories, archives, etc. I don't need all of that.
Any suggestions?
wordpress is quite lightweight imo, but if you think it's too big, you might want to use one of these: http://web.appstorm.net/roundups/self-publishing/10-ultra-lightweight-cmses-for-simple-projects/
Develope your own. Shouldn't take more than a couple of hours.
So I am stripping down wordpress and using it as a simple photo/video gallery site. Basically each section has two types of pages: the gallery index (just thumbnail images), and the photo/video page itself.
The problem that arises is one of lazyness, I have a whole lot of photos and videos to add, and creating a new post for each item will be extremely tedious to say the least.
Is there an easy way to create a large number of posts at once, each with different content?
I'm thinking like a plugin or a script or some method I am as of yet, unaware of.
PhotoBlogs are different from normal blogs. Normal blogs put the emphasis on the words with only the occasional image featured. PhotoBlogs are all about the images and not the words.
The easiest way to get started with photoblogging on WordPress is to either install Johannes Jarolim's YAPB (yet another photo blog) plugin or the PhotoQ Photoblog plugin.
YAPB adds all of the functionality of a standard photo blog directly to WordPress with a minimum of configuration. It includes automatic image resizing, exif data, and other tools. Johannes' site has links to themes already incorporating YAPB, otherwise you can make your own.
PhotoQ takes a slightly different approach, it gives you a queue which you can fill with photos to be posted on your photoblog. PhotoQ is geared to batch processing of photos and it features batch uploads, automatic image resizing, exif support, watermarking and automatic posting via cronjobs among other features.

Our company now has over 40 tutorial videos and I'm looking for a video gallery app.
Something that would be similar to:

Does anyone know of any PHP or asp.net solutions?
I'd rather not re-invent the wheel.
As there are a ton of hidden functions like sorting, most popular, tagging, comments, etc.
I would suggest to use any popular CMS. For WordPress, here is what you can do. You can use many of it's out of the box features -
each video is created as a blog-post. So u have comments, tags too.
each blog-post will have a custom parameter as video url
while rendering a single post, take this custom parameter and build HTML/embded video object with your flash player.
these blogposts can be moderated my multiple wordpress users
comes with plenty of free themes to choose. Enjoy!
customize the archive page, to have a thumbnail like gallery page.
use a ratings plugin to rate blog-posts.
For now onwards, start thinking of customizing a CMS rather reinventing :)
