Yotophoto: Free Stock Photos

  1. Home

By Khalid on 2006/05/26 - 20:20, last updated 2006/05/26 - 20:48

Yotophoto is a free stock photo web site that I discovered by accident via this Digg article. It happens to run Drupal.They seem to have a customized gallery. For example, look the URL for fish: it says /images/fish/1/ (note the trailing slash). Like many sites, they happen to use my Adsense module (their revenue source it seems) and my feedback module (the very first Drupal module I wrote).

Hi Khalid,

It's Mark from Yotophoto here.

Both the Feedback and the Adsense modules have been great for the site. Kudos and thanks.

The only issue I had was back with 4.6, the feedback.module was being used as a spam relay for a bit (my fault for not implementing the proper patch quick enough). Otherwise no issues at all.

The search results are powered by a custom written module (with hooks into the porterstemmer.module) and I use a mod_rewrite trick for the URLs. The actual indexer runs seperate from Drupal, but can export found images as Drupal nodes. I've looked into Gallery but find the code base pretty unweildly compared with the elegance of Drupal.

The 4.7 upgrade was mostly pretty smooth but we definitely use a lot less forms on the front end than most Drupal sites. I also had a handfull of core hacks that I had to change (which are now removed and implemented via the proper hooks).

Thanks for the mention and the great work, I'd love to hear any more feedback you have on the site. There's a new theme coming in the next couple days as well.

There you have it guys. Right from the horse's mouth (sorry, I mean Mark's mouth)

Thank you Mark for the background. I wish we can get all good sites to tell us more about the development side of things (e.g. we heard nothing from whomever worked on TheOnion).

Unless they're going out there and adding these pictures by hand, they might have written some sort of bot to find these images and add them... Any ideas? I think we're going to be seeing many Drupal-based web services coming in the next year or so.

Or an aggregator?

They probably have an automated thing for sure.

Whether it is a bot or an aggregator, I don't know.

Interesting for sure.
