I currently use the Archetypon Slider Eleven stack to incorporate my Flickr galleries into pages on my Rapidweaver site. I am considering Smugmug or 500PX for the future and wanted to know whether there are stacks/plugins which will give me a similar layout to Slider Eleven as this stack only works with Flickr.

Martin, did you find what you were looking for? I’ve tried to find a way to integrate a SmugMug, FlickR or Google Photos gallery with a RW website and I can’t. I have a potential client who wants to be able to upload new images herself and be able to see them on her website.

Gallery Stack supports iCloud Photos or Adobe Behance. Maybe that’s an option?
Another option is a powerful combo:
- Gallery Stack (already mentioned by @instacks )
- Repository stack: also by Instacks
The Repository stack is fantastic and offers a very easy way for clients to upload materials to a website. Easy for you to create a folder for them for images. I user Repository all the time with my students and it’s super simple from their end. It can be used in a lot of different, and useful, ways. More here:

Was going to mention Gallery Stack 3 as well. If you had another reason to incorporate Total CMS into the site, that would be an option…

I have been burned too many times with 3rd party services. I am done integrating them into my own websites. Total CMS has pretty great gallery uploads. It even works great on mobile. What is great about Total CMS is that its 100% self contained. You don’t ever need to worry about a 3rd party service shutting down, changing policies, or changing their API that in turn breaks your site.
Agreeing with @joeworkman. I wanted to integrate Picassa Photo into Gallery Stack, then Google shut down that API, and Google Photos does not have a new API. Same for Amazon Photos: no API available. Flickr was close before closing down.
Apple Photos doesn’t have a public API either, still the current integration is working now for 5 years. Adobe Behance looks quite good, it has a pretty nice image optimization algorithm in place and a public API which I am using.
Gallery Stack work perfectly together with Total CMS (if the lightbox supplied inside Total CMS isn’t enough for your needs), or use the own hosted FTP folder upload integration.
Lots of options to chose from, IMHO.
Cheers!

Thanks, Jason. There’s a lot to think about . . .

What happened to Gary/Webdeer? He had themes set up to work with Pixieset and Shootproof.
I think Gary left this forum after some moderator disagreements. He’s still on Weaver Space and the Elixir forum though

“Was left” - if you know what I mean.
