Yes, in different lengths also.

We offer 5 sizes for each gallery:
2 word (25 character max)
3 word (45 character max)
30 character (30 character max)
45 character (45 character max)
55 character (55 character max)

As far as fields options you will need:
Gallery URL
Gallery Description
Gallery Thumb URL
Number of pics and vids
Number of pics
Number of vids
Category

Also make sure to have an option to export all galleries for all your sites. This is one thing that NATS won't do. (last i checked)
Exporting 20 lists for a sponsor that has 20 sites can be time consuming.

This is a little screenshot of what our custom exporting tool looks like:

I know this doesn't apply to OC Cash, but what gets me is a sponsor displaying mulitple gallery links with the same content, just different templates. I don't care about different templates; when I'm batch importing links, I dont want to go through each url just to weed out dupes.

Thanks for bringing this one up!

I only caught on to this after I'd already imported thousands of galleries filled with duplicate content into one of my databases. I review all hosted sites and galleries, just as if they were submissions, and seeing 5 or 6 "versions" of almost every gallery really pissed me off. Thousands of galleries turned into hundreds instead (and almost turned into none at all when I considered just deleting all of them).

I think a lot of sponsors don't realize some of the things that can prevent a LL or TGP/MGP owner from using their hosted content, or from making as much use of it as they'd probably both like.
