Phoca Forum

Hallo everyone,
I've been searching arround for the best solution for my needs and came to the conclusion that Phoca Gallery could fullfill all my needs. The documentation and forum-search was helpful but there are a few questions left. The situation is, that I need to set-up a picture-gallery for one of my customers with the following features:

- Gallery can handle 2000+ pictures (jpg).
- A thumbnail of the original image uploaded via FTP or Phoca's Media Manager is created automatically and a watermark is added to each picture.
- Added pictures are automatically shown in the frontend gallery wo having to publish the new category items.
- On the frontend of the website I need a search module that is searching only through the image descriptions within the images (jpg) and not through Joomla-content (articles, categories). So that visitors can easily search for keywords within the whole gallery and thumbnails of the search-results are displayed.

Is all this possible with Phoca Gallery?
Thanks a lot for your time and help. Thanks to the programmers of this wonderful Gallery.

Greetz,

Hi,

- Gallery can handle 2000+ pictures (jpg) - I think, there is no problem for this (pagination is used so there are no memory errors regarding count of images)
- A thumbnail of the original image uploaded via FTP or Phoca's Media Manager is created automatically and a watermark is added to each picture. - see Multiple Add feature - https://www.phoca.cz/documents/2-phoca-g ... categories
- Added pictures are automatically shown in the frontend gallery wo having to publish the new category items. - yes
- On the frontend of the website I need a search module that is searching only through the image descriptions within the images (jpg) and not through Joomla-content (articles, categories). So that visitors can easily search for keywords within the whole gallery and thumbnails of the search-results are displayed. - for now there is Phoca Gallery search plugin - but it is an inteagration of search function in standard Joomla! search feature.
