Drop Gallery is a very simple PHP and JavaScript based gallery. All you need to do is upload your images into a subdirectory of the gallery folder using your favorite method (FTP, SSH, etc). There is no post processing needed. The only requirement is that you also upload a set of thumbnail images into a subfolder under your images. Creation of thumbnails is no longer required. The thumbnails will be created on the fly.
If that sounds a bit complicated, here is a quick screenshot:
Notice the "test_gallery" folder? That is where all of the images reside. Now the thumbnails folder under there contains a set of thumbnails, each named the same as its cooresponding full-sized image. (Ignore that thumbnails folder as it is a remnant of a previous version and won't be used anymore.)
Of course, you can't simply upload the images and expect them to appear on your website. You'll need to add some code to your web page. First, add the following HEAD section of your website.
<script type="text/javascript" src="JavaScript/dropgallery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="JavaScript/jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="JavaScript/thickbox.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/thickbox.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />
Now, where you want the images to appear, add the following PHP code:
<?php
$gallerydir = "test_gallery";
include('includes/gallery.php');
?>
Finally, copy the "dot_clear.gif" image to an "images" folder.
The result can be seen above. (Click an image for a larger version.)
