I had the gallery (created by Lukas stalder http://www.planetluc.com) working like it was described on the forums here. The only downside was that the administration needed to be done outside phpWCMS.
So I wrote a mod for it (it's my first so be kind)
This is what the mod (so far) can:
* You can create galleries/albums depends how you want to call it.
* You can edit galleries (change title, add/remove pictures)
I haven't finished it completely but the basics do work.
I stored the data in the database instead of using files. The pictures are stored in a folder that is writable.
To make the mod complete, I added also the RT's for it. I created 3 RT's.
The gallery has following screens in the frontend:
* Overview of the available albums
* show the thumbnails of the pictures in an album
* show a specific picture
For each of the above, I created an RT so that you can have the gallery overview lets say in the left column and the thumbnails of an album in the main area and maybe a pop-up to show a specific picture. The structure is based on a template so you can easily enhance it.
some screenshots (the mod is in Dutch, but you get the picture) get it

As soon as I have the documentation ready (and the files nicely arranged) I will make it available for download.
If someone is intrested ofcourse.
You can download version 1 here:

One question I have is, does the 'DEL' link in your screenshot actually delete an image from the server, or just remove it from the gallery listing in the database?
anybody.
