This is build with the awesome php framework Laravel 4.
Pretty, simple and easy gallery.
- Upload albumfolder via ftp
- Visit domain.com/import
- Done ;)
Like with Laravel 4 you need to install all the nessesary packages with composer:
composer install
Configure the database settings in app/config/database.php
And migrate the database with:
artisan migrate
Change configuration of the gallery in app/config/filegallery.php, eg. set the Facebook App id for the commenting system and Google analytics id.
That should be it ;)
Albums will be created from the folders in the uploads folder.
The foldername will be used as the albumname, and the folders will be renamed to
a more webfriendly name (strip special characers and replace spaces with dashes).
Images will be created from the imagefiles in the album folders. Don't worry about the names they will be renamed to more webfriendly names (strip special characers and replace spaces with dashes).
To create a description for an image, create a *.txt file with the same name as the imagefile, and write the description in that file.
To set an image from the album as the cover picture, create an empty *.txt file,
and name it %imagefilename%_cover.txt
To avoid starting import before you have all the files uploaded and ready,
create an empty *.txt file named ready.txt to the uploads folder when you
are ready to import the files.
To start the import, make sure you have uploaded the files and created the
ready-file. Then go to the route /import, eg. mywebgallery.com/import.
It will be working some time depending on the size of the images you want to import ;)
