Gallery

I was wondering if I could get a response from some people if they have these mods. I am looking at getting a proper gallery mod for my forum as I have a albums mod but you can't really do anything with it anymore as its really outdated and I am torn between these two:

http://xenforo.com/community/resources/xen-media-gallery-user-albums-photos-videos-importers.1750/
http://xenforo.com/community/resources/sonnb-xengallery-xenforo-gallery.2076/

Does anyone prefer over another? Any problems with them at all?
I really like both, but I think for the money Xen Media Gallery is the best.

 

Boy that's a tough one and it's pretty much subjective to what you like in either or both. I think both are excellently done and well supported so that's a worry not founded. Go with the one that you like is all anyone can say I guess

 

Been going back and forth on this one myself.

 

I like them both. I bought licenses to them both and tried them both out. I ended up going with XMG due to some compatibility issue that I couldn't resolve with XenGallery. In some ways I liked XenGallery better though. They're similar enough that it really make sense to just try them both out before you decide which one to go with in the long run.

 

I use both, each on separate forums.

If you replacing a standalone gallery for specific users to upload photo batches (ie: event coverage), I prefer XMG and how it displays images. I do NOT like how the home page filmstrip does "random" images, but actually chooses one photo randomly and then the following 4-5 in the series are the next "random" images. I also have not figured out if member tagging is possible.

If your intent is to allow members open access to post pics and albums, I like the look and function of XenGallery. Member tagging is a biggie here. Also, how the galleries and photos are displayed is nice. I need to adjust thumb sizes tho to make things larger.

XenGallery had some compatibility issues that my sysadmin and the developer worked out. I don't recall what they were, but were handled in the following version change.

There are features of each I like, and don't like...

 

I ended up using XenGallery.
