In the www dir, there is the +PHP frontend app, the convert dir includes a simple (too simple i guess) script +that converts your wildcard of images into three subdirs in the current +directory. You can easily create and upload all images using: + + mkdir temp + cd $_ + /path/to/imgconv *.png *.gif *.{jpeg,jpg} + scp -rp ./web-gallery me@my_server:public_html/galleries/gallery_name + +and that's it. + +Tuomas Kuosmannen (tigert@tigert.com) has created a Nautilus script to create +"original" galleries (check the REQUIREMENTS file). Just copy the +convert/contrib/webgallery.pl file to ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts and make sure it's got +the execute bit set. + +# UPDATE + + Apart from using netpbm package (http://sourceforge.net/projects/netpbm/) for + scaling images, the new webgallery-zenity.pl script uses Larry Ewing's + gdk-pixbuf-based scaler. See REQUIREMENTS for details. + + Latest versions of the tools can be found at + http://jimmac.musichall.cz/original.php3 + +Various Notes +============= + +Gallery Dates +------------- +By default, original uses the directory timestamp to figure out the date of the +gallery. If I need to tweak it, i use `touch -d`. However some folks requested +a more convenient (is it?) way, using a "$gallery/date.txt" file. This +functionality has been replaced by the mew meta info file - info.txt: + + Info.txt format + --------------- + + The file is a simple text of "key|value" pairs on separate lines. The '|' + separator is used, since you may want to use '=' and ':' as you're free to + use html markup in the file. Make sure you use a utf8 capable editor. + + Some useful keys: + ----------------- + + date - can be used to override the timestamp of the directory + name - you can override the dir name if you prefer not using utf8 filenames + description - _short_ dexcription. Will be show in the index page. + author - Useful if the photographer isn't you. + + + +-- +Jakub 'Jimmac' Steiner <jimmac@linux.com> |
