Coppermine (CPG) on Digital Media and Assets Management
The past week our unit conducted a Users and Administrators’ Training on Digital Media and Assets Management (DMAM) for our Agency’s Health Promotion and Health Media Relations archive projects. The health promotion office needed a gallery that will enable them to archive the agency’s media and digitized files (i.e. printed promotional materials such as tarpaulins, streamers and banners, posters, brochures, charts, flyers, pamphlets, promotional manuals, etc; Audio files in the form of radio ads and similar audio clips; Videos such as short promotional film productions and tv ads, etc; and even Interactive materials like CDs, DVDs, exe files, and other optical promotional materials).
A media gallery seemed to be the best choice instead of a typical website that uses lists and links for downloads, since the former will provide a cool presentation of the media files in gallery presentation mode. What else to use but Coppermine Photo Gallery (which by the way is presently more than a photo gallery, but a gallery for other multimedia files like audio and video files) which by experience proved to be the best choice (personal disclaimer here on my judgment :D) Of course, I also did Menalto Gallery, Gallery2, Zoom and Expose on some projects as added modules, components and extensions to sites driven by Joomla and Drupal. However, Coppermine seemed to be the most user-friendly while providing a range of useful features. We installed Coppermine version 1.4.14, stable version two months ago, presently at 1.4.18.
The ff. provides useful links to Coppermine downloads, themes, and other resources:
To download the latest Coppermine installer and releases:
To search for other Coppermine projects, development releases and repository files:
To download Coppermine themes (these listed provide the widest collection and easily downloadable Coppermine themes without having to validate registration emails, personal experience speaks):
