PHP Based Automatic Photo Album Generator and Viewer
is a fully self-contained PHP3 based automatic photo album. Simply by placing
the one script it in a directory with image files (and, if you wish, sub-directories)
it will handle all the mundane details associated with maintaining an online
photo album - no other scripts or HTML files/knowledge is necessary. It is highly
configurable, extremly easy to use, multi-platform, and (besides the requirements
of a web server with PHP3 support) requires no administrative assistance to
set up or run (ie: you can set it up and run it without bugging your sysadmin).
Please note that this script is really old, really outdated,
and really poorly written - trust me on this. :-) There are much better scripts
available that do the same things and more - however some of them require database
support, and so I leave this script here in case some people need it to install
a simple photo album without any admin configuration needed.
Features
- Fully Automatic
- Simply place a single script in a directory with image files, it does
the rest.
- Completely Configurable
- Every feature has the ability to be turned on/off among other
options.
- Appearance
- Specify number of rows and columns per page (multiple pages are automatically
handled with slick navigation)
- Thumbnails
- Complete (and automatic) support for thumbnails (although you must
provide them)
- Album Comments
- Supports (and automatically uses) seperate comments files (the names
of which may be customized) for each directory (album)
- Image Notes
- Supports (and automaticllay uses) comments files for each photo (again,
the file names can be specified in the config details)
- Visitor Comments
- Has built in support for visitors to leave comments specific to each
photo which are then viewable on the photo page. Ability to turn on/off
this feature. (NOTE: You may need your administrator's help to activate
this feature - see installation instructions)
- Last Modified
- Ability to show last modified dates for directories (albums) so
that users can quickly and easily find new photos. Admin can turn off
this feature as well as specify what constitutes a "new" photo.
- New Markers
- Ability to turn on/off "New!" markers beside new photos.
- Popularity Tracking
- Ability to track the popularity (number of hits) on each photo.
May be turned on/off. Ability to show popular ("Pop!") markers
beside photos that exceed a specified number of hits. May be turned
on/off while still tracking the number of views. (NOTE: You may need
your administrator's help to activate this feature - see installation
instructions)

not of specific types (eg: .jpg, .jpeg, .gif)
