How can I make a searchable photo gallery or slideshow on my website?

Posted by admin on March 2nd, 2010 and filed under photo gallery | 1 Comment »

I’m making a website for an amateur dramatic society that I’m a member of. On the site there is a list of members and a list of the plays that we’ve done. I’d like to upload all of the photos we have from all of the plays to the website but have the gallery searchable so that, for instance, if you clicked on the name of a play it would show you all the photos from that play, or if you clicked on a person’s name it would show you all the photos of that person. If you use IMDB you will see what I mean, I’m after something similar to the way the photos on there work.

What would I need to make something like this? HTML? JavaScript? Flash? I have basic knowledge of each of those. Will it be incredibly complicated or would I be able to get some sample code and adapt it?

Any pointers appreciated!

You don’t need Flash. A database would help (especially if you have gazillions of photos) but it’s not essential.

This can be done with nothing more than HTML / JavaScript. Why don’t you try www [dot] rentacoder [dot] com?
