"Smart, intuitive, and highly configurable, Daikini Photon gives you the power to manage your Movable Type™, TypePad™, Blojsom and WordPress photo-blogs in the familiar surrounds of Apple iPhoto."

it looks rather nifty -and apperenty lot faster than conventional image attachment/upload - option of image management option for between iPhoto.
would be nice if there was a Drupal plugin too... it would make life lot easier !

Drupal implements the MovableType and MetaWeblogAPIs natively. You can set this plugin up to work with Drupal. Here are the settings, assuming you have the blog API set to "MovableType":
* blog ID: this number is your Drupal user ID
* Access point: example.com/xmlrpc.php
* Platform: Movable Type
* User name/password: this is your Drupal user name and password.

Hope that helps. It would be nice if this were actually tied directly to the image module, but the gallery remote plugin does this already (which doesn't seem to work anymore?).

There is a iPhoto2Gallery plugin for iPhoto, but it seems not to work with the gallery included with Drupal 4.7.x.

However, installing Gallery2 on the server and then installin gthe gallery module seems to work fine for me (tried it with 5.0rc1).

As a follow up to the error code 1001 iPhotoToGallery gives. Adding a line to the drupal .htaccess file (in main drupal directory) seems to sort it. It all seems to be working.

The same applies to Gallery2 if you use gallery.module.

Put:

SecFilterEngine Off

Somewhere either at top or bottom of the .htaccess file in drupal root dir and/or gallery2's root dir to fix either or both.

This should solve the error code: 1001 error cosde iPhotoToGallery has been giving me for ages.

Hi, Its been more than a year i have posted the post above about Photon ( i think its better than The Gallery)
and just noticed after you sent the post today yes appearently the Photon site has gone offline although stodesign MT template/module is downloadable from

http://stopdesign.com/templates/photos/
and the examples still there
http://dbowman.com/photos/sydney05/gallery/

i am not a coder so not sure its feasable to convert it over to a Drupal module, otherwise the alternative is the Gallery and the gallery.module

Meanwhile few image presentation modules came out with Drupal so, other idea - to get something closer to the stopdesign Gallery, would be to combine slideshow.module, node_images.module, lightbox.module or thickbox.module functions somehow into a 'bridge' module - just an speculative idea of a non coder! :)

I've looked at those others, but not really played around with them as yet.

I've gotten iPhotoToGallery to work again to export directly from iPhoto 5.x/6.x to gallery.module and image.module

See other comment above for details of how I fixed it.
