Integrating ZCG with your website
One of our primary goals with ZCG was to make integration as easy and seamless as humanely possible, while maintaining great flexibility to make complex
and deep integration possible when necessary.
There are several levels of integration one could aim for:
Basic Integration
Since ZCG is aimed to be a service hosted by us that other websites can use, this is maybe the most straightforward scenario when it comes to integration.
In this case you have to do little more than inserting a line of HTML code into you web page. No more complicated than embedding a YouTube video.
You will only be able to edit your gallery through our administrative interface, but everyone visiting your website will be able to view it.
Deep Integration
If you have a community type website and would like to allow your visitors to share their images with each other, you can use advanced integration features
to tie your own user database into the system, allowing you to access who has control over your gallery.
Complete Integration
Our integration options go even deeper than that. ZCG can be integrated to work together with complex intranet systems on the business layer
level when needed.
Customization and skinning
ZCG offers a wide range of customization options. Thanks to our strict separation of business logic and UI, almost anything can be changed as long as it
adheres to some basic rules set by the business logic. We are not just talking about colors here. One could literally replace the UI with one that is different in
about everything, down to the last animation.
