A recently retired friend of mine wants to catalogue and publish his archive of images online on what he hopes to be a catalogued and therefore searchable website.
It will be a natural history photo website but I would like to know if any of you on here have used that sort of software for an aviation images website using the same sort of criteria, eg searchable for squadron, date, mark etc that I could suggest to him.
Many thanks for any help,
Dave
Did you know that registration to Fighter Control is completely free and brings you lots of added features? Find out more....
Website & searchable catalogue building software suggestion?
Re: Website & searchable catalogue building software suggest
Flickr and tagging is probably the easiest way?
Re: Website & searchable catalogue building software suggest
Cheers Chris, I did suggest this to him but I think he wants a standalone website for his images rather than just his own Flickr page.
I've looked at a couple of websites using Smugmug and this does seem to support searching for images with keywords but I'm not sure how easy this is to set up nor the scale of work that is involved!

I wish you luck, having looking into it myself, the only solution that I could find was to start learning PHP and SQL and make my own web site.
Easier said than done as hitting my head with a hammer was far simpler.
Flickr is about as easy as it comes, the Pro version is about £25 per year, which balanced against hosting and software charges isn't so unreasonable.
There was something with WordPress, that I was looking into but I can't remember what it was.
Try Googling wordpress database application builder and see where that takes you.
Good luck,
Wallace
