What is Reddit's opinion of Piwigo?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Have you viewed the Google cache? http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:8KvOsp2liQgJ:www.artforweb.co.uk/&num=1&hl=en&gl=uk&strip=1&vwsrc=0

Those lovely injected links appear there.

So the 'malware' is only inserting the links for the GoogleBot (and similar). You can set your own user agent as GoogleBot if you want to see them yourself, but the Google cache shows what Google is being served.

Your using http://piwigo.org/ it appears.

Google 'piwigo malware' (& similar), there is plenty of discussion on similar issues which may help you.

Have you checked your file permissions? Do you know what this means? There seems to be a re-occurring issue for piwigo installs and file permissions being exploited.

What was the name of the plugin which was hacked?

I've had the same struggle lately and was deciding between Koken and Piwigo. Had a bit different requirements than you, but I finally went with Piwigo (altough db-based as well).

Seems like there's still some serious gap on the market, which could be filled.

If anyone has anything better, I'd love to know as well!

After a bit of looking around I've migrated my photos to a self hosted Piwigo site, not least because there's a plug in for it that makes it easy to move all your photos over from Flickr, either en masse or folder by folder. It also brings over a lot of the meta data like title, description, date taken etc.

I've been looking for something similar. Piwigo is one option that seems to come up a lot, but to be honest, I felt it was kind of kludgy and unpolished so I ended up not using it. Seems like it's somewhat popular though, so ymmv.

I'm still on the hunt for something, but I think I'll end up just using Wordpress. My requirements are a little simpler though because I don't need to allow other people to upload.

No, that would doxx me I'm afraid. But you could take a look at their demo site which lets you try some of the basic themes.

The live site that convinced me was Neil Fitzgerald Photography. Looking at the HTML he's using a theme of his own devising but the results are rather splendid and something to aspire to.

As any popular CMS, we get report of security flaw, we handle them privately and rapidly, then release security fixes for all major branches. Piwigo exists from several years now and is quite safe. BTW the release notes of http://piwigo.org/releases/2.8.0 doesn't contain anything related to sql injection or security fix

An update:

Piwigo with the Download album extensions and privacy extensions hits all of the above. Opted to run it with Docker so backups are a breeze too. Also comes with iOS app. Oldie but goodie.

I'll continue keeping an eye out for fancy features like face tagging and other bells and whistles but this will do for now.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys!

I edited the original post for clarification, but currently, he is paying 20 a month for hosting on Smugmug while having an excellent internet connection and willingness to host a site himself. I am trying to help him host his own solution. I know of http://piwigo.org/ which seems to fit the bill, but wanted to make sure I knew of all the options before setting him up with anything.

hostgator + piwigo // most cpanel configurations will allow you to instal piwigo with 1 click (from quick install) >> one of the best photo cms solutions today + it is as easy to update it as wordpress - with 1 click.

a sample of piwigo site (my personal hobby side project): http://www.artforweb.co.uk/

take care

Unfortunately there's a large gap in this market.

I've been searching for the perfect tool for a long time, and really the best thing I've been able to find is Piwigo.

Edit: Another self-hosted solution I found: FileRun. Unfortunately the Enterprise option is pretty expensive if you want to add more than 3 users. =\

I use http://piwigo.org/

Also not sure I understand your requirements, but with Piwigo you don't need to use to built in uploader to get your photos into the app. I have a scheduled task which FTPs my entire photo folder structure up onto the web server into a specific folder and Piwigo imports them. True, this means you have to have 2 copies but with a scheduled sync, they should always be the same. I have to do this as I have installed Piwigo in my hosted web space. If you are self hosting the Piwigo instance locally, you may be able to point it directly at your current set of folders.

Worth having a look.

Hey all,

I am looking for a website where the guests of my wedding can easily upload their pictures in original quality. It would be good if no registration is necessary for the upload - but it doesn't matter if they have to. It should be as easy as possible so that even inexperienced upload their pictures.

The pictures should not be displayed publicly.

Does any of you know such a website which I can install on my server?

I already tried Piwigo. Unfortunately this is very complicated.

Thanks a lot to you all!!!

piwigo cms (French) is super simple and faster than wp. .. i have an old hooby photography site on them artforweb.co.uk

here is their demo site: http://piwigo.org/demo/

I would say: cheap hosting (siteground) + piwigo (free + sitegroung offers 1click install via softaculous)

Don't know anything that inserts to EXIF, but I've been working on a Piwigo plugin lately for importing all photos off Flickr, and it imports latitude and longitude.

Or there's flickr-cli which can export all photos and save a metadata.yml file for each that contains the coordinates. You'd have to do your own processing to do anything with it.

My father in-law used Gallery for the longest time, just went and checked and he must have switch to Piwigo about a year ago.. He uses it mainly as photo storage:

> All Pictures

> 133629 photos in 293 sub-albums

> Every Picture I Have Taken Since I Went Digital

Sigal generates static HTML web photo galleries from a collection of photos. It might be along the lines of what you are looking for.

Piwigo can use an existing collection of photos on the server, as well. It might be confusing to computer illiterates, but I'm sure there are simplified themes available that strip away the extras and make it simple.

It's not exactly a time line, but you can browse by date in Piwigo. It shows a calendar view and clicking the date shows all the photos from that day based on their EXIF data. http://piwigo.org/basics/features

I'm not sure about selecting and deselecting folders, but the management is pretty granular so you may be able to do this based on tags or albums.

I guess the only problem is that you would have to upload the photos into Piwigo, so it wouldn't be the copy which is on your hard drive. You could set up a scheduled sync task to copy them up into the web server though. You can self host it or have it on a hosted site and it has got a great web interface which you lock down if required with permissions to defined galleries.

Worth a look.

I use Piwigo and am very happy with it. I've got about 3000 images in it at the moment, and am using it for collaboration with my family (well... a bit; people never seem to care enough about metadata!).

For importing files, it will maintain your folder structure, but be sure to change $conf['sync_chars_regex'] to allow more than just alphanumeric characters in filenames (otherwise it won't import them). After importing, it's best to use the 'virtualize' plugin.

You might look into Piwigo. It has a pretty granular ACL model and a commenting system. It has a rating system, but it's only "0-5 stars" and may not be congruent with your club's system.

The codebase is designed for plugin developers, so there's plenty of hooks for manipulating the database. With a bit of elbow grease and some PHP fu, you could update the rating system to match your club's requirements and generate reports.

There's a plugin (eventcat) that allows you to share a locked and hidden gallery via an autologin URL, much like flickr.

Well.... I made this little app for a friend's birthday a few months back..... heh, ok ok so it's not really of any use unless your camera can only take 8 pictures, but it kept me busy for an hour :)

piwigo and zenphoto are only other gallery apps that come to mind, though I haven't had a look around for a while.
