fotofirmament webgallery

A webgallery that places the emphasis on where it belongs: Your Pictures.

Showcase gallery:

http://fotograf.mgrf.de/
This is my own customised instance of the fotofirmament.

Key features:

• calm interface experience through
  • unobtrusive, modest design
  • smooth transitions of UI elements and pictures
  • well structured panels and overview
• responsive webdesign
• easy to use
• preloading of fullsize pictures
• high quality interface graphics
• zoom for overview and pictures
• supports direct linking to pictures
• fullscreen capable
• supports showing EXIF data
• does not require javascript for minimal functionality
• keyboard-only usage possible
• localisation support (only german is currently set up)
• lightweight
• no third party library dependence
• good code quality
• easily customisable
• free software (AGPLv3)
• simple setup

Setup:

• clone this repository onto your webserver
• open ./index.php in your webbrowser
  • you should see the sample images
• place all your images inside ./images/photosFullsize/ and remove the sample images
• reload the page and see your images appear!
  • if you did not place your own previews in ./images/photosPreviews/, they are auto-generated, which may take a while

Requirements:

just a good webbrowser

• Mozilla Firefox >=23 works reliably
• Chromium >=27 works reliably (so webkit-based browsers will, I suppose)
• Microsoft Internet Explorer 10 does not work
• I have not tested any other browsers yet.

and a good webserver

• with php support
• php GD for automatic preview generation
• php gettext support for localisation

Customisation:

• config.php: Set the paths to your pictures and previews.
• index.php: Set a title, header (a predefined one can be uncommented), footer and more.
  A little more advanced:
• css/custom.css: Make style adjustments (for your title, footer, ...).
• js/fotofirmament.js: Constants are defined right at the top.
• locale/: Translate your page.

Contributing:

Please feel free to contribute to this project! I track my own ideas in the 2dos.txt. There may also be TODO-s in the code.
