I sat up a a great gallery in Evo, with lots of custom fields both for image and for the galley itself, using MaxyGallery 0.6, that now seems to abandoned. Actually it's a works database for architects, or artist, where one can record clients, surfaces, budget and so on (any info can be published or kept private) for every work to be diplayed.
a sample is here: http://www.annalisabellettati.eu/residential/
Is it possible in Revo? Any suggestion?
Thank you

I think you can reuse your maxigallery - table as is, build a xpdo-schema of it and create a MIGXdb - TV, kind like that:

http://rtfm.modx.com/extras/revo/migxdb/migxdb.tutorials/migxdb.create-a-basic-gallery-management-from-scratch-with-migxdb

to manage the images.
If you need some extra - fields, just modify your db-schema and click 'add fields' in the MIGX package-manager

Then you can rebuild the frontend with combinations of getResources or pdoResources and migxLoopCollection

you can buy me a beer, if you like MIGX

Like Bruno says MIGX will work much better than any gallery extra out there for MODX with the exception of the paid extra moregallery which has a nicer and easier interface to work with.

Other than that MIGX is your best choice.

You can find my review/tutorial of MIGX here and some more tutorials here.

Hope that helps, good luck.
