Content Manager is one of the most Useful programs we have ever made for any content based site.
This script once setup and run will read all directory names below your main image content directory and fully catelog all images in sub sections named for the directories the images reside in. It will create the menu the users see, it will create thumbnails of all images, it will create html pages for all thumbnails in quantities per page that YOU specify.
This script is really a major league Time Saver for any content based site.
