Product Description:
Share your iPhoto Libraries over the internet. As soon as you have uploaded pictures or movies from your camera to your library, you want these pictures to be available to your friends, family or whoever. WiPhA provides a powerful, beautiful and easy to use web interface to your libraries as well as automatic photocast of all your albums. Moreover, people can easily download a bunch of pictures and import them in their own iPhoto library with your captions and comments (for your lucky friends also using Mac).
WiPhA doesn't tax your computer in terms of cpu and memory usage. WiPhA also provides extensive search capabilities to easily browse your pictures, even in a big library.
Full featured yet easy web access to your iPhoto Libraries
- Extensive search capabilities (albums, captions, comments, dates, keywords)
- Unique "date map" feature to get a quick overview of the entire library and select the period to browse
- Manual or automatic slideshow mode
- Share multiple iPhoto libraries
- Button to e-mail links to the photos you have displayed and to the associated photocast album
- Display the full size pictures and EXIF data
- Automatic update notification
- Every Album is automatically photocast (rss feed) without requiring a .mac account!
- Photocast may be used with iPhoto 6 or any RSS reader on any OS
- Users can select multiple pictures and download them as a single zip
- User can then import these pictures in an other iPhoto library and keep their captions and comments with the provided AppleScript
- WiPhA support user logins and password that you set
- You determine which albums each user sees
- Web access and photocast albums are both protected (with the same logins)
- No direct access to files (all data are filtered before being delivered)
- XHTML 1.0
- CSS2
- RSS 2.0
- Web 2.0 - Ajax
- Ajax technology used to limit bandwidth usage and get faster responses
- No need to have iPhoto running, or even to be logged in
- No background process will be installed in your account
- WiPhA relies on the iPhoto data (but doesn't modify it) as much as possible to avoid generating new thumb images
- Generated data are cached and reused.
What's new in this version:
- [new] Installer is Leopard compatible
- [fix] The installer can now properly restart the web server (solves some "You don't have permission to access /~xxxx/wipha/ on this server" messages)
- [fix] Fix version check for system where file_get_contents is not implemented
- [fix] Remove an occasional strstr warning message
- [fix] Use the library path defined in the library xml file if it is defined, rather than the path given to WiPhA
- [fix] Replace a mv by cp+rm in the installer, as mv hung on certain occasions

1) This desperately needs an uninstaller, particularly since it alters several settings in system files.
2) It is great to have English text, lousy to have French screenshot text.
3) Immediately after installation one of my browsers (not my default browser btw which is OmniWeb, but instead Camino) did indeed try to do something. But the URL it was sent was WRONG. It tried to open ~/(user)/wipha/ There ain't no such thing folks! Very naughty. So I attempted to get a variety of my browsers to open the correct location, which is ~/(user)/sites/wipha/ to no avail whatsoever. If I take the index.php file from that folder, which I have to assume is the target file, I get one of two results depending upon the browser. I either get a blank window, which is most certainly not the promised login interface, or I get the raw text of the .php file. This was the case in Safari.
Conclusion: This particular version is rubbish, at least from my particular experience on 10.4.11. Hopefully they will do some repair and verification then post a working version soon.
