Hi - I need to rebuild my website to host and sell my photos through as I have outgrown the current hosted site I am using.
I am looking for either a gallery back end or a hosted site that will do the following:
Allow nested galleries that display thumbnails, large (600-800px) images, slideshow of the gallery
Customisable to fit in with the look and feel I want of the site
Integrates with Joomla
Offers an online shopping cart and ideally sending orders direct to a quality print lab
Deals with Australian dollars
Allows random images from galleries to be pulled out and displayed on the front page of the website
Watermarks images
Allows linking of images to myspace and forums
That about sums it up. I was very close to going with a smugmug pro account but they aren't interested in dealing with Australian dollars which is critical for me and also their payment system will be far too slow for what I want - would be a no brainer if I lived in the US!
At the moment my current way of thinking is building my own site from the ground up using coppermine as the gallery integrated into a Joomla site; it looks a little easier than using gallery2 integrated with Joomla.
I did look at using Exhibit Engine but after a few unsuccessful attempts at trying to install it to evaluate how to use it I have given up on it.
If someone can suggest other options I'd really appreciate it.
