Will Phoca Gallery work for me?

Post by karossii »

Is there an existing plugin or series of plugins which will help me accomplish something like this...?
  • Any registered user can upload images, or submit links for videos (youtube, vimeo, etc.).
  • These media files can be "tagged" with any number of descriptive tags
  • The username of the user who submitted the media is added as a tag to everything they have submitted
  • Every tag is a "category" or "gallery" which can be used to view all media with that tag
  • Only the user who uploaded or submitted media, and site administrators, can add or change its tags
  • Every visitor to the site can view all media submitted, or all media with a specific tag; either in random order, or sorted by: date submitted, number of "likes", number of views, or title
  • Registered users can "like" any/all media submitted, once per each image/video
...I am not looking to have a full community with messaging, blogs, etc. such as deviant art, do not want individual user profiles (beyond the standard/basic joomla profile), am not really looking for a full blown community plugin with individual user galleries such as CB or JomSocial, etc.

I pretty much want the above bullet points to be the entire site. Just one massive gallery that can be sorted/searched, and allow for user registration/submissions.

Will Phoca Gallery work for me? What plugins will I need?

Hi,

1) in ucp registered users can upload images or in category view: https://www.phoca.cz/documents/2-phoca-g ... ser-upload
2) this can be done in admin only for now
3) needs to be customized
4) see above
5) see above
6) 7) the same like above, needs to be customized - in fact the tag, upload, etc feature is presented - so some small customizations needs to be done to fit the needs.

So for now, without customization, not sure if it can meet your needs. :idea:
