Hi Eric!

Welcome "officially" to the board!

There are a ton of TGP scripts out there and deciding on the best is difficult.

The best I can offer is this - I use Auto Gallery Pro. You mentioned that as one you looked at. While the setup is relatively easy, having a tech friend is a good thing, just in case you run into some permissions setting problems (which is something I do all the time). The instructions are easy to follow, and detail what permissions settings, folders and files that are needed.

AGP uses templates that you can edit the site, submission and success pages with some ease. You can pull these templates into front page or dreamweaver to edit them, you just need to remember to save them in filename format that AGP wants (really not hard instead of .html it may be .thtml).

The most difficult thing I found with AGP is knowing the root path information for your server. And this isn't AGP issue it's typically mine, because I forget to write it down every time I get the info LMAO.

Once it's set up and running, it's all a matter of selecting and clicking. Select an option and click the button. Select build pages and click - the pages are generated for you. Select the option for submissions in the queue and your given a list of submissions (you can pick and choose those that are approved or approve/reject/ban the entire queue with just a couple of clicks) Functionally, it's one of my favorites. A no brainer when you get used to it.

The longest part of the setup for me was deciding on site designs. Once I had that done it was a matter of copy and past the info into the template manager. The script uses special codes for variable information which are easy to use (nothing is over the top) and the newer versions let you get as detailed or as general as you'd like - a listing on your site can say "gallery 1" or "10 Pics of Twinks Doing the Nasty" LMAO

We have a number of separate TGP sites and AGP is the core for all of them. I run a gauntlet of admin’s for every site we have daily, and I'm finished with the TGP sites in minutes... it's that simple.

Hmmmm Now that I look at it Auto Gallery Pro seems to be my choice LOL

There's my two cents!

If you need anything, please feel free to ask or let us know!

Best regards,
Gary-Alan
