One of the popular features I pass on to other sites is the image block to show on other people's websites. They like having photos of their stuff on their own site, and of course they click back to the gallery on mine.

However, I had a bout with my sql server being crashed by image block queries. Finally figured it out, and fixed it by uninstalling it then reinstalling.

Things are fine, but now I'm wondering how many of these image blocks I can pass out without causing myself grief.

I am currently running v 1.1.9 of image block.

Thanks,
bw

Have you tried mediaBlock or the minislideshow?

Thanks, suprsidr

no I haven't. Are they less resource intensive?

It depends on what you are querying.
A random image from the dynamic album module is very intensive for example, whereas calling a specific item is not.
The minislideshow generates an xml feed or reads an xml feed generated by the slideshow module.
Which means it has to load many items to get their features(height, width, link, src...) so it would be fairly intensive.
The dynamic calls tend to be the most expensive.

You can also now build a new 3D embeddable wall for your gallery using Cooliris and the slideshow module or my mediaRss generator.
Or even a SlideshoPro display.
Many options - all would be more resource intensive using dynamic modes over static modes.

Gallery lets you build a large list of items to query for in order to make one single query instead of multiple to help cut down on resource consumption.
