I am getting ready to set this up for a client and want to know roughly how many hours would it take to set this up and get it running?

basic set up with probably a different theme install

thanks in advance

If you don't count uploading images and organizing the album you can get zenphoto up and running in less than30 minutes. Uploading can be done via FTP so you can figure out how long it would take you to create and populate the album folder structure on your hard disk. Then compute the number of megabytes of data and divide that by your FTP performance.

Then all you need to do is estimate how much time you need for editing things like album titles/descriptions, etc. That obviously depends on the size of the gallery.

I would estimate the same, the first installation which I did without knowing the program, took me 20 minutes

Well working on a MAC and not having an application that shows my htaccess files.... it took me about 2 hours to search the forums and also find an application that I liked to switch back and forth to show/hide htaccess files.

I did get the database, hostname, bla bla bla set up in about 30-45 minutes.
Off and on the phone of course.

Thanks guys!

also one question... how come this thread tool doesn't notify me of postings?
and is there a tool for ZenPhoto that notifies me when someone leaves a comment?

(sorry for the cross-topic post)

1. Regarding zenphoto and Mac you just could have asked. I am on Mac, too...:-)

2. You would have to subscribe to the RSS feed of the forum.
