Scince Imatch5 does not have the extended web gallery I do have the follwing question.
How can I create a web gallery and fullfill my requirements?
Requirements are:
1. Navigate through the webgallery to the same categories (including dynamic categories) made in Imatch.
2. Add new pictures to an already uploaded gallery
3. Exclude categrories from beeing exported to the web
4. Exclude pictures according a attribut, containing a category, .... from beeing exported to the gallery
5. Resize the pictures automatically during the export
Using "http://jalbum.net/" does not fullfill my requirements.
I would like to have something like "Photo Gallery Creator". Yes I read the post https://www.photools.com/community/index.php?topic=155.msg909#msg909 (https://www.photools.com/community/index.php?topic=155.msg909#msg909)
Summary: I am looking for a gallery which supports the category structure of imatch into the web.
Any hint is welcome

Me too, for home use to make available only the selected "good" picture to the family...
I've tryed a lot of javascript and flash gallery that hold their "database" in xml format but none was so good to display hundred of picture.

My view is that it would be a shame if that script isn't migrated to V5. And a lot of the migration process is simply search and replace. So perhaps it is possible. But it is a dauntingly complex script and my experience from migrating some of my own scripts is that there are sometimes tricky issues to solve. I may be prepared to give it a try. But not now. I am rather busy, and I would want to see the scripting object model fairly complete (I I know there are some gaps at the moment). So I would not consider this until close to the end of the beta. And since this is only a beta and nobody here is using for production images ::) , then we can all wait, can't we?
There are so many on-line galleries, web gallery tools and apps around these days...
Designing and implementing a proper gallery with today's standards and requirements is quite a log of work.
Porting the web gallery script is possible, but also quite a bit of work. I implemented the initial version to show users how to do a complex script, and because at that time, not many other gallery systems were available. No Flickr, Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr etc. (yes, the old gallery script is that old).
I would not invest time in the old web gallery script. It is a much better idea to create "Export" scripts (for the Import & Export panel) which just create the necessary "config files" to drive one of the other web galleries. Many of them can be controlled via an XML file. Others take files and instructions via a web service. I have added many features for working with web services and XML to IMatch 5. And Apps do all this natively. I would only go that route.
