Gallery Features

Summary
A Gallery is a collection of photo albums. You can have as
many Galleries as you want on your web server. Each
gallery contains as many photo albums as you want.
Configuration of Gallery and administration of the photo albums
is done entirely via an intuitive, web interface. You don't need
special privileges on your webserver to install, configure and
maintain Gallery. It's free, and we (the Gallery team) support it.
Gallery works with several different image processing toolkits
and is available in over 30 languages!

Administration
Installation/Configuration Wizard
Gallery comes with a handy web based configuration wizard.
This wizard helps to make sure that your web server and operating
system are set up correctly. It also allows you to
configure many of Gallery's options while determining as much as
it can from your environment. The wizard lastly creates and admin
account for you to administer your Gallery with. Later on if you
want to change settings, you can run the configuration wizard
and make changes without having to take down your Gallery.

Here are some of the features that you can customize in the
configuration wizard:

• Image Magick or NetPBM - pick which image manipulation
  package you have on your server or want to use.
• Auto Rotate Images - Gallery can look at information in pictures
  from digital cameras and automatically rotate them as needed.
• Image Quality and Size Defaults - You can limit the quality and
  size of images so that when images are uploaded, Gallery
  will resize them to save space.
• Main Gallery Page Settings - The configuration wizard contains
  all of the settings for how the main Gallery page looks and acts
  including showing or hiding the album tree, search engine, or
  album owner, and what frames to show around albums.
• Optional Binaries: zip, jhead, jpegtran - If you have these
  programs on your webserver, you can enable them to make
  gallery work better and be more flexible.
• Languages - Choose which languages you want your Gallery
  to support and how the user is presented with the choice.
• Email Support - Set up email support to have your Gallery
  email users when their accounts are created or when they forget
  their password, email you copies, email people when the
  Gallery is updated, and more!
• Gallery-wide Slideshow - enable or disable a slideshow that
  includes all pictures in the gallery
• Commenting - turn off or on the public commenting system
  and configure it.
• Logging - enable logging with syslog or the Windows logger
• RSS publishing - publish your Gallery with RSS!
• Album Defaults - set defaults for the way that all new albums
  will originally look

Accounts/Permissions
You start off with only one user, the Administrator (login name:
admin). This account can do anything with Gallery. Typically
you'll want to use the admin to create other users (which can
also be administrators if you want). Users can be granted
permission to create and maintain their own albums on a
er-album basis. Users can also self-register and sign up for
e-mail notification when things in the Gallery change.

Albums
An album is a group of pictures and movies inside of a gallery.
Albums can be nested inside of each other and can be
customized on an individual basis. Albums can have specific
permissions (ie, some users can modify it, some users can
add to it, etc), and the album owner can grant permissions to
different users. Albums can even be hidden to only allow logged
in or specific users access to even see that it exists.

An album's thumbnail defaults to a scaled version of the first
image added but can be set to be all or part of any image in the
album. Items in an album can be sorted based on date added,
date captured, etc, and the whole album can be deleted, moved
 or renamed. All captions for items in an album can be edited at
once without having to click on each picture. Comments can
also be viewed in once place for easy review and moderation.
Additionally, if polling is enabled for an album, the results can
be viewed by the album owner or optionally displayed at the top
of the page.

Album can also be easily watermarked (watermarking every
image in it) and customized by their owners in a variety of
ways. You can change the title, colors, background, fonts,
and borders. You can also specify a target thumbnail size and
a target intermediate photo size (so that folks with lesser
bandwidth can view scaled versions of big photos). The number
of rows and columns in an album is customizable, as well as a
variety of viewer options.

Photos
If you have the appropriate permissions, you can add photos
to an album. A default method is set in the config wizard,
but there are several ways to do this:

• Upload a ZIP file full of photos and movies
• Use a form to upload up to 10 photos at each time with
  and optional file containing descriptions.
• Specify a web page and let Gallery go slurp up all the
  photos and movies on that page.
• Copy all images to a directory on your webserver and
  let Gallery copy them directly into your album.
• Use the embedded applet and drag-and-drop
  pictures and movies to upload them.
• Use Gallery Remote or one of the Other methods available.

As you upload pictures, they will be automatically
thumbnailed, added to your album, and have intermediate
sized images created if needed. They can also be
automatically watermarked if you have enabled this feature.
Once photos are upload there are several things you can do
to manage them:

• Edit the title, caption, keywords, and other custom fields
  that you define.
• Modify the thumbnail with java applet, selecting only
  part of the image to show.
• Rotate the image in increments of 90 degrees.
• Move the photo to a different place in the same album or
  a different album.
• Hide the photo so that only the album owner or logged in
  users can see it.
• Delete the photo.
• Add a watermark of your choice to your photo.

Mirroring Albums
Gallery lets you mirror your albums on as many remote
servers as you like. This lets you run your Gallery on a
machine with limited bandwidth (like over a DSL line) but still
serve up your images quickly from a high bandwidth source
like an ISP. Gallery will not actually mirror the files for you.
You're responsible for doing it yourself. I use a program
called rsync. You can use whatever you want. If the remote
album is up to date, Gallery will use it. If not, Gallery will use
the local one. Or Synchronizing your albums with a mirror server

Gallery has a remote protocol to allow software other than
the web interface to interact with it.

• Gallery Remote - Gallery Remote is a java program that will
  run on any system that java will run on. Your users can use
  to upload photos to your Gallery via a drag-and-drop
  interface. On the standard file upload page there is a link
  to the Gallery Remote download page which will download
  the application from the SourceForge server directly to your user.
• Other methods are available to easily add pictures to your
  Gallery including ones that support Windows XP, Apple's
  iPhoto, Mobile Phones, perl, python, and more.
• RSS can be used to publish your Gallery and updates to it.

Embedding
Gallery can be embedded in several different content
management systems, here are the current ones that we support:

• Nuke 5.0+
• NSN-nuke
• Post-nuke
• Geek Log
• phpBB2
• Mambo

For the nuke systems, just put your Gallery directory inside
the nuke modules directory and you're all set, for the other
systems, documentation is included in the "contrib" folder
of the source code explaining installation.

Customizing
Gallery is extremely customizable. There are lots of included
customizations, many more that you can download, and
endless possibilities! There are 4 main ways to customize Gallery:

• CSS - Modify Gallery's style sheets, use your existing site's
  style sheet, or write your own to control colors, borders, spacing
• Themes - Gallery comes with lots of themes are there are
  plenty more to download. Check out The user contributions
  page to start looking for more skins and other easy
  customizations.
• html_wrap - Have an existing HTML template for your site
  but don't use a content management system? html_wrap is
  for you! You can include content above, below, to the left,
  and to the right of gallery to make it blend in with the rest
  of your site.
• changing code - Gallery is open source so you can easily
  change the source code to make it do whatever you want it to do.

The one thing you can't easily do right now is to change the
layout from a grid format to something else. However, in v2.0
we plan to introduce a templating system that will let you
write your own HTML to do customized themes and
layouts (or use the ones that we and other users provide).
You can find out more about MANY more customizations
further down in the user guide underneath the Customization area

Visitor Experience
Users viewing your album can easily navigate around using
the navigation bars at the top and bottom of every album page.
Each album can be given its own unique URL. Each photo
within the album in turn has its own unique URL. You can use
these URLs to get directly to a specific photo from outside the
Gallery (useful when you want to email photo links to a friend).
In addition to this, the album owner can allow the user to use
the following features:

• Languages - Gallery supports over 30 languages and you
  can choose which language you want to have and how
  they are presented to the user. The language can be
  automatically detected by Gallery from the user's
  browser configuration, or the user can be presented with
  a drop down box or pictures of flags to select a language.
• Unique, Short URLs - If your server supports mod_rewrite
  (a module for Apache), your albums and pictures can have
  short, easy to remember urls such as
  http://example.com/gallery/springbreak/thebeach
• Fit-to-window Images - If a visitor has a supported browser,
  Gallery can dynamically resize images to make them as
  large as possible while still fitting inside of the visitors
  browser window.
• Full or Resized Images - Visitors can choose if they want
  to see the full size images or scaled versions.
• Print Photos - Gallery supports several photo-printing
  services which allow visitors to order prints of pictures
  in your gallery.
• Keyword Searching - Visitors can search a gallery for
  text in Picture and Album descriptions and optional fields.
• EXIF Headers - Gallery can read information embedded
  in the exif headers of jpegs. Digital Cameras and some
  photo editing programs use these headers to store
  information about how and when pictures were
  taken or created.
• Click Counting - Gallery keeps track of how many times
  albums and pictures are viewed and displays them on your
  Gallery so that you know which items are most popular.
• Public Commenting - Visitors can comment on pictures
  and other visitors can view them. Logged in users with
  the proper permissions can delete comments and view all
  of them on one page.
• Polling - The owner of an album can choose to include a poll
  where visitors can vote on which image they think is the best,
  or what they think of every image. Results can be displayed
  at the top of the album or only to the album owner.
• Slideshow - Visitors can view the pictures and, if configured,
  pictures in sub-albums, as either a slideshow inside of the
  browser window or as a full screen slideshow.
• Album Tree - A tree of all albums and sub-albums with
  clickable links to them can be displayed on the front page
  of your Gallery to provide quick and easy access
  to all of the albums.
