Phormer, unlike most of the other gallery mangers tools that require MySQL or any other high-level Databases, uses its own XML database files which let us:
Run Phormer on any server with only a php parser (like apache)!
Modify the information offline and/or using any text-editor, even Phormer’s own online XML-Editor!
Have transportable files, which speeds up import and export!
Simple Backup! Just copy the folder of data/ which has all the information of photos, comments, categories and …
Beside, here is a brief list of other helpful features of Phormer:
Easy Web-based Install/Uninstall
To install, just download the package, unzip it to the desired place on your website, and then enter admin’s password!
Also since version 3.20, you can easily uninstall Phormer directly from Administration Region.
Categorize by Date, Categorize by Subject, Categorize by Everything!
Having two separate categorization method will lead to handle everything in the most right place! — You can both categorize your shots by Category (e.g. black and white, self-portrait, etc.) and, on the other hand, by date (which named story), just like the posts of a weblog.
Obviously, a shot can be placed in many Categories and many Stories at the same time!
Even, the Categories/Stories, themselves can be inherited from eachother!
Make Anything Private!
Phormer’s great privacy allows both private (passworded of each own) and unlisted (unseen from the first page) mode for each Categories/Stories.
This way, any photo which its default Category or Story be private would be private, too.
Umm… with the help of this feature you can have various albums for various (possibly private) events, so simply.
Fast and Valid Pages
Tableless pages, browser compatible and brief administration area, means just clean speed!
Link and Extra HTML Manager
Manage the side-bar links of your blogs, visually from inside the administration area, so fast and clean!
Also paste the additional HTML codes of your counter, ad-sense into the Preferences area instead of dealing with HTML codes of the index!
Two File gathering mods
Image files can be acquired either from the PC (by Ajaxian upload manager) or from somewhere across the web (just enter url!).
