Most Flexible Photo Gallery Plugin? [closed]

Question

What is the most flexible photo gallery plugin available on WordPress?

By flexible, I mean a plugin that can:

• create galleries per folder / event
• display / generate thumbnails per size I want (it would be good to have an API/function for this)
• display the most recent gallery from either certain event or all photos uploaded.

Is there any? Or something close to this?

Answer 1

The most full featured one I've found is NextGEN gallery. It even has add-ons for specific functionality beyond what's built in.

Answer 2

FLAGallery - Very good way to display the gallery - has all the options of NextGEN

Hope that helps (:

PhotoSmash is quite flexible also. Some features:

• create unlimited galleries and show multiple galleries on a post or page
• extensive shortcode options
• set multiple sizes of images to be created
• resize images (unfortunately, doesn't have the javascript cropping function of NextGEN)
• adds your uploaded images as WP Attachments so you can also use the standard WP gallery functions
• allow site visitors to upload to galleries
• create custom fields
• create custom forms
• create custom layouts
• show tag, recent, highest rated, random, and contributor (virtual) galleries
• widget for displaying mini galleries in sidebar
• widget for Photo Tag Cloud
• with PS Extend, can create new Posts on image uploads
• and has its own iPhone App
