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.
WiPhA 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)

- 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

WiPHA v2.5 works on Snow Leopard (10.6) - Version: 2.5, 9/3/2009 05:34AM PST

We've tested many different solutions for photo management over the past few years and iPhoto + WiPHA fits our need with the best balance of speed (as fast as you can use iPhoto to edit the collection) and shared access (the searchable web access is great).
We added a cron job using Cronnix http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/9478 to push iPhoto updates/changes at a regular interval, rather than waiting for a web visitor to trigger the cached image update in WiPHA.
Merci, M. Feblot! Vous rock!

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.
