Customizing SMF > Portals, Bridges, and Integrations

Please guide me: Need random pctures from gallery on main forum page.

I have been reading a lot, used the search function and tried hard to figure out what the options are. The result is that I'm more confused than ever... :-[

What I want:
*A gallery where the users can upload their photos, embed videos etc. Coppermine is great, but can't see any way to use it for the next wish:
*Random pictures from the gallery to appear on the SMF main page, or at a portal front side used with SMF.
*Resize function if uploading picture is too big must be impemented in the gallery.
*No limitation in the number of pictures a user can upload.

I have tested different things, but with very little knowledge of coding and just as little knowledge in english I haven't found a way to do it.
I see that there is a combination SMF/Menalto Gallery that might work(?), but it only seems to be with old vresions of both.

Does anyone have an idea about how to solve this "problem"?

As I anyway need to start from scratch it wont matter if I use separate or the same database.

Maybe I didn't even post this in the correct forum part, if so please feel free to move it, moderators.

I have a gallery mod for SMF two versions though http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=473 is the lite edition
 and then I have the pro edition which contains most of the feature you need by default http://www.smfhacks.com/smf-gallery-pro.php
Where we can do custom code to show in portals on homepage/overal header of your forum.

Thank you for your reply, vbgamer45. I have seen those possibilities, the free version is not an option due to the limitations. The pro...well, I suppose that one will be a good alternative. But, 50$ for one year, isn't it? After that no upgrade or free support?

I am absolutely considering it, though, but if therer is a way of using a free option I would like to see what it is.

vbgamer45:
Well the license is permanent but for extra updates beyond that is small renwal fee beyond the first year.
If you want to have a demo of it check out createaforum.com and signup for a test forum. I have gallery pro preinstalled on that site
Quick demo site: http://demoforum.createaforum.com  - Username/Password is: demoforum

Kindred:
the AEVA gallery also can do all of that, for free... although the author no longer supports it, there is a fairly string user support group.
