Yet another easy gallery/YAEG v1.3)

cahva

Hi all,

I know, I know.. This has been done a thousand times before but I couldnt find a galleryscript thats easier than this 🙂

This script is meant to be as easy as possible. Works with GIF,JPG and PNG pictures.
Gallery viewers can also comment the pictures too with this! Aint that neat! 🙂

Requires GD2-lib

Usage

Only things you have to do is:
1.Create directory
2.Set the permission to write to directory
3.Copy pictures to directory

Thats it. Gallery is now ready for use. Open a browser. Go to the directory you created.
For the first time it makes the thumbnails so it takes a bit longer than usual.
You can later copy pictures as you want. It allways makes thumbnails for new pictures. Also if you copy pictures with same name, it creates the thumbnail again for the new picture(script compares date for original picture and thumbnail).

Any comments and suggestions? Code got a bit ugly at later point when I added new features for the script. My friend to whom I made this for, thinks this is a god-sent script for him. Before this he made his gallery(over 1000 pictures in about 100 directories) with photoshop's gallery creator 🙂

not bad. 🙂

what's the "quality" setting on the thumbnails?

if it's above 75, i would put it down to 75, the quailty will be almost as good, but the sizes will be immensely smaller.

For photographic images; synthetic ones might need a higher quality because there's less noise to hide compression artefacts in.

No; just a matter of knowing the task domain (the sample gallery is photographic). Perhaps the quality could be user-adjustable.
