cfEasyAlbum has a new release today.
Version 1.01 now provides the option of multi image upload with the excellent Flash tool SWFUpload and image resizing is handled by the nifty tmt_img cfc.
This is all nicely packaged into a newly added admin section which allows you to create albums without the need for ftp.
cfEasyAlbum is a new open source web album organizer that I have written. I’m looking for people to download and play with it. Once you download it, simply extract it to the web directory of your choice, edit the ini.cfm file and you are done.
Keeping with the name, cfEasyAlbum is:
- Easy to Install
- Easy to Configure
- Easy to Update
You can of course also simply upload your own albums via ftp if you wish to continue to do it that way.
You can see it in action here: http://www.ecoastjobs.com/cfeasyalbum.cfm
As always, I would love to to hear your comments.

I saw the domain name and thought, they must be from NH.
Nice job. Looks good.

Hey Joshua,
Which domain name are you referring to? NHJobs.com?
We lived in Dover until 2001. We really miss heading to Portsmouth for the evening. What a great city!

Nice work. One thing to watch out for, unless this has been changed, is the licensing of tmt_image. AFAIK, it does not allow you to redistribute it, so you would need to direct users to download it separately. If you are looking for image resizing for CF6/7 with a more open license you might check out Rick Root’s image.cfc.

Thanks Brian,
Actually, I was not aware of this. I’ll certainly look into it. As I’ve stated, it’s my first OpenSource application release so I’m still a bit green with the whole licensing thing.
I’ll be sure to check out the licensing on tmt_img.cfc

OK, after further reading, it does appear that tmt_img.cfc requires that you not bundle it with any other software as Brian states.
Because one of the three most important aspects of this project requires it to be “easy to install”. I’m going to take a look at other options. I would consider using CF8’s built in image capability but I don’t want to exclude CF6 and 7 users as I feel it’s too early to assume everyone will switch just yet.
More to come this week!

I was wondering what version of SWFUpload did you use for your application?
May 6, 2008 at 2:58 pm
I believe I included the license “license.txt” in the swfupload folder when you extract the zip file. However, a quick glance shows me it is 1.0. I have to be honest here, I haven’t touched this in quite a while but one day, I’d like to revisit it. Now with CF8’s impressive additions such as cfimage I’d like make use of them in the new version. I’d like to also integrate what looks like version 2.0.2 after I read up on the documents a bit. Did you have a question or a problem?

I’m just trying to figure out how to get SWFUpload2 properly working.
Anyways just signed up to the forums to see if that provides any insight.

Just trying to get the demo SWFUpload2 application demo to work with coldfusion.
The upload_progress_handler returns percent === 100, the file was uploaded… and then, unfortunately, the upload_success_handler does not execute.
Any ideas?

nevermind, figured it out! ^_^

Hi Louis,
Glad to hear it. There are so many other features I’d like to add. Think of this as a possible framework for things to be added to. Maybe by you
