Hi,

My question is a bit strange, but can anybody tell me if it's possible to use gallery for other stuffs than photos ?
My purpose is to build a multi-users website where people can share plugins, comment and evaluate them.
So Gallery organisation seems to fit for me, upload system, folders, descriptions, comments, evaluation stars, download system... but is it possible to adapt this for non-photos files ? (zip ?)

is this has allready be done ? is a module can be developed to do this (I know some developers but I want your opinion before)? Whith Gallery 3 ? or Gallery 2 ?

thanx

pa.

You can upload any file type to G2. Depending on the image toolkit you are using G2 will even create a thumbnail for you.
G3 on the other hand has a much narrower focus and only allows images and movies at this time.
