This extension adds a simple photo gallery.

Photo links can be enhanced to include lightbox or similar by editing views\gallery.php. CSS is located at css\gallery.css.

Makes use of Yii's Cache if available. Currently you will have to clear the cache manually.

Requirements ¶

• Yii 1.0 or above

Installation ¶

• Extract the release file under protected/extensions

Usage ¶

Choose a location to store the photos: eg. /images/gallery Ensure that this location is writable by the webserver (if you want thumbnails generated for you).

Create some "albums" in the gallery and put your photos (and optional description.txt) in there eg.

+-images/
  +-gallery/
    +-sample/
    | +-image1.jpg
    | +-image2.jpg
    +-sample2/
    | +-image4.jpg
    | +-image5.jpg
    +-sample3/
      +-description.txt
      +-image6.jpg
      +-image7.jpg

If you name your folder by date (eg. 20091120) and create a description.txt you can sort your gallery by date, but show whatever album title you want.

Format of description.txt ¶

Line 1: Album title

Lines 2-n: Album description

Album title
An optional description of the album that will be parsed by Markdown.
It can have multiple lines.

Add the following code to your view:

$this->widget('application.extensions.gallery.EGallery',
		array('path' => '/images/gallery',)
	);
