This may be an obvious suggestion to many of you, but I thought I’d share the image management system I’ve constructed for my first Radiant site. I used Zenphoto, a PHP image gallery. Zenphoto automatically constructs galleries from images dropped in its ‘albums’ directory. I set up that directory as WebDav-enabled, so that my client could copy images directly into the images folder. The clever thing about Zenphoto is that by changing the image url you can request versions of that image at any size. It renders new versions dynamically, cacheing them for speed. I adapted the Textile plugin to make a simple !news/thumb/photo.jpg! request into the right Zenphoto url. The WebDav-enabling didn’t work initially, because it was messed up by mod\_rewrite, so I enabled a different directory on another subdomain, and used a cron job to rsync the images into the albums directory. It works very well. And as it has turned out, the client doesn’t bother with the gallery features – but the commenting and organising could be useful for some. > **[ZenphotoCMS - The simpler media website CMS](https://www.zenphoto.org/)** > > ZenphotoCMS is a CMS for selfhosted, gallery focused websites.
