JAlbum - A flexible tool for creating online photo albums
Authored by: bservo on Jul 07, '03 12:22:47PM
I ran into the same problem a while back. Many of the web album software packages didn't provide the flexibility that I wanted in creating my own albums. I then found BetterHTMLExport. It's a shareware plug-in for iPhoto that lets you define your own template files similar to JAlbum (I haven't used JAlbum yet, but I'll have to check it out when I get home from work). It comes with two templates plus there is a web page where you can download templates other people have created and a tool for managing templates.

You can use whatever web technologies you want in the templates: HTML, XHTML, XML, CSS, Javascript... You can even use PHP if you want to and your web server supports it.

The nice thing about this program is you can use iPhoto to manage, manipulate, and do everything else iPhoto lets you do with your photos. BetterHTMLExport just handles the web album creation task.

BetterHTML Export 2.07
Authored by: mrgerbek on Jul 19, '03 11:32:27AM

I couldn't agree more about how cool BetterHTMLExport is. Its what I use in conjunction with my digital camera and iPhoto. I was able to create a template very quickly that fit my site, though I had to use some regex (ok, I used BBEdit :) to change some links after the fact.

I highly recommend BetterHTMLExport for people who don't have .Mac, and want a no-hassle publishing tool. Now if only there was DB support. :)
