[Digikam-users] PHP Script for HTML Album

[Martin Ehmke]

Hi, 

that is great. Actually this is, what I am missing myself at the moment. I 
thought already, if there could be a plugin written for "gallery", which 
supports tags. But maybe your script is just enough. :-)

Could you please send a link of a running demo of your script?

Thank you

Martin
