 Posted: Sun Mar 11, 2007 4:28 pm Post subject: How to make your own PHP image gallery |
 |
|
The following code has been described "AS IS" with no warranties nor guarantees implied, and has been expressly shared by me on my own free will and volition to the entire Internet community through this forum. I am releasing this code with no claims as to copyright except for the claim of being the first one ever to manage, develop and publish an image gallery SPECIFICALLY in this manner and fashion.
Before anything else, some of you might think that this is yet another PHP image gallery implementation. You are right. But, I developed this image gallery for my specific purposes at the time I'm learning PHP. I've been quite satisfied so far. I've seen other image galleries, Coppermine, Gallery by Menalto and SPGM, or other image display methods like Lightbox (and derivatives). I was happy with Lightbox once, but when the core of my CMS platform updated (Drupal), Lightbox implementation became... let's say messy as of this writing. More historical background about this development can be seen here: http://www.loloyd.com/blog/my_own_php_gallery
OK, enough intro. Here are the caveats, installation requirements and feature discussions.
1. You must have a working PHP installation and a webserver, preferrably Abyss - of course!
2. This gallery does not support databases, nor commenting systems.
3. You need to create your own thumbnails. ImageMagick http://www.imagemagick.org/script/index.php can help you with this.
4. This has been tested to work nicely well (and I'm proud of that fact) in Linux/Apache and Windows/Abyss environments, as standalone files or embedded in CMS content platforms.
5. My PHP is quite a bit n00bish, although I've been developing software applications and systems in other languages for 23 years, so I just let experience do the dirty work. You can definitely do some mods/tweaks with my code like adding functions for redundant code segments - but in this case, my longer code MAY perform somewhat faster.
6. You need to arrange and organize your images in album directories. And your thumbnails should sit in similar directory trees but if you can understand what you're doing and you're sensible enough, this will be a cinch.
7. This gallery implementation features "just-in-place" functionality. You can embed several albums in a single page and the code will be page-location aware. I am making this a big deal because when I realized I could do this, it looked awesome with my Drupal installation.
8. The entire code is pretty small. You need to copy and paste it on a standalone PHP file, or on a PHP-enabled content platform. See to it that you have pasted the entire thing without improper word wraps on your target code-holder.
9. Edit the Settings Section, save and do your tests.
10. We can discuss your implementation problems here or from my website. Have fun!
For more information, visit http://www.loloyd.com/blog/my_own_php_gallery. For sample implementations, visit http://photos.loloyd.com/.
An offsite/cross-domain version is also available from my website - this was realized due to my specific situation (cross-domain implementation) and utilizing IFrames was quite a pain (also blogged in my website).
| Code: | <?php
//--- Settings Section Begin ---//
//$img_path value must NOT end with '/'. It should indicate the filesystem path to your photoset album.
$img_path = "M:\\photos\\public\\2007\\album_name";
//$web_path must end with '/'. It should indicate the webserver directory address of your photoset album.
$web_path = "/photos/2007/album_name/";
//$web_paththumbs must end with '/'. It should indicate the webserver directory address of your thumbnails for this photoset album.
$web_paththumbs = "/thumbs/2007/album_name/";
//$img_anchor allows the browser to scroll down automatically to the thumbnails set or the image when given a unique name value. This is especially useful in Drupal (or other CMS) installations where you might be displaying multiple photosets on a single page. Non-critical if incorrectly implemented.
$img_anchor = "photoset";
//$img_array describes the types of filename extensions that will be treated as images.
$img_array = array('.jpg', '.gif', '.png', '.JPG', '.GIF', '.PNG');
//$img_perline must be greater than 1. This is the number of thumbnails per line or row listing.
$img_perline = 4;
//$img_perpage must be in multiples of $img_perline. This is the maximum number of thumbnails displayed for a given page on this photoset album.
$img_perpage = 16;
//$img_maxwidth indicates the maximum width a zoomed-in image may occupy inside the browser window.
$img_maxwidth = 640;
//$width_table is the table width suggestion for thumbnails list; normally overridden by css; you can write in styles like "480", 480, "100%" or 100%.
$width_table = 480;
//$width_td is the cell width suggestion for thumbnails list; normally overridden by css; you can write in styles like "115", 115; I am not sure if percentages can be implemented here.
$width_td = 115;
//--- Settings Section End ---//
$env_script = $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
if (isset($_GET['imgindex'])) {
$imgindex = $_GET['imgindex'];
$env_script = ereg_replace("\?imgindex=(.*)$", "", $env_script);

Is there any PHP script which can allow me create a similar gallery as http://www.irisize.com :oops:

ajax? i don't think so. but the demos in irisize all look pure javascript to me. i guess you can emulate their javascript and put them on your pages for your use. be aware though that they explicitly say it's "optimized for ie on windows" though.

I was going to, but instead I sent them a message referring to this post to see if they would like to make a "loop patterns" section.
When I get an answer I will post it. Thank you anyway |
