Hi,

I am relatively new to the Gallery Project and am keen to use the new Gallery 3.

I am wondering what is the best development tools to use?

I currently use Dreamweaver but don't think it will work.

What are everyone using???

Opensource if possible...

Cheers

Hi,

I am looking to use Gallery3 as the core of the site I am putting together for my wife who is a lifestyle photographer. I am therefore looking to set up an environment based on the toolset used for Gallery 3... ie: kohana, jquery.

I am looking at setting up a dev environment using xampp.

Any thoughts/help appreciated... what do you use???

Cheers

Just gotta say it. Windows isn't supported. It seems to work, but it's not supported :)

So are you pretty much just wanting to customize the look?

XAMPP should be fine, I have G3 currently installed on a windows system with XAMPP. All Gallery needs is PHP (5.2.3 I believe or newer)), Apache 2.2, (Linux preferably) and MySQL

Just copied this out of README:

Quote:
SUPPORTED CONFIGURATION:
- Platform: Linux / Unix.
- Web server: Apache 2.2 and newer.
- PHP 5.2.3 and newer (PHP's safe_mode must be disabled and simplexml,
filter, and json must be installed).
- Database: MySQL 5 and newer.

Windows and XAMPP is only for dev... the site will be hosted on a fully compatible environment (I tested it last night with the beta 2 build - working fine!!)
