Introduction ------------ bpgallery is a small static gallery generator, it generates an index file and thumbnails of your images. The index file is generated in the image folder, icons in a subfolder called icons. Requirements ------------ The ImageMagick tools (convert and identify) bash GNU find GNU xargs sed Installation ------------ Copy the file bpgallery.sh to a directory in your PATH. Usage ----- bpgallery.sh /path/to/image/files Also, the following files, if placed in the images directory, will be used to generate part of the index page: description.txt a simple text file containing paragraphs to go at the beginnings of the index page captions.txt filenamecaption style file, it'll add a caption to the images on the index page. The following environment variables can also be used: TITLE the title of the gallery WIDTH the width to make the icons MEDIUMWIDTH set the width of images in the medium size pages BPGALLERY_THEME set the theme to use (described below) BPGALLERY_THEME_DIR set an extra location to look for themes OUTPUTHTML sets the script output to be wrapped in a
 block

        GENERATEPAGESFORMEDIUMSIZE
            generate medium sized images and pages

        GENERATEPAGESFORFULLSIZE
            decide wether to generate pages for the full size images or not

        INDEXDOCUMENT
            name of the index page (e.g. index.html)

        PAGESDIRECTORY
            name of the directory in which to put the pages for fullsized and
            mediumsized images. Defaults to the image directory. This is
            relative to the images directory, so, for example,
            PAGESDIRECTORY=pages would create /path/to/image/files/pages

        MEDIUMDIRECTORY
            directory to generate medium sized images in, defaults to medium,
            works the same as the PAGESDIRECTORY variable

        ICONSDIRECTORY
            directory to generate thumbnails in, defaults to icons, works the
            same as MEDIUMDIRECTORY and PAGESDIRECTORY

Example Usage:
        TITLE="My Funky Gallery" bpgallery.sh /path/to/image/files

Themes
------
Theme support is very rudimentary, basically you create functions for each of
the parts of the template, and put them in a file named the same as the theme.
The functions that you need to declare are as follows:

        Available in all templates:
            ${BASEURL}
                Base directory (will generate ../ when making pages in a
                subdirectory for getting to the generated stylesheet or to the
                index page)

        bpgallery_ThemeName_head()
                what's it for?:
                        This sets up the header for the page, generally
                        everything until the first picture. So, the title bar
                        and any menus you would like to use
                available variables:
                        $TITLE       - the title for the index page
        bpgallery_ThemeName_tail()
                what's it for?:
                        Closes the page, is the last thing to be printed.
                available variables:
                        None
        bpgallery_ThemeName_description()
                what's it for?:
                        if there's a description set up (i.e. a description.txt
                        file) then this is what it'll be wrapped in. It comes
                        just after the _head.
                available variables:
                        $DESCRIPTION - the content of description.txt
        bpgallery_ThemeName_stylesheet()
                what's if for?:
                        It generates the stylesheet for the page.
                available variables:
                        $WIDTH       - the width of the images
                        $MAXHEIGHT   - the maximum height of the image
        bpgallery_ThemeName_thumbsline()
                what's it for?:
                        Whatever is in here is generated per thumbnail.
                available variables:
                        $link        - the page/image to link to
                        $filename    - the name of the file
                        $caption     - the caption as got from captions.txt
        bpgallery_ThemeName_page()
                what's it for?:
                        It generates the pages for fullsize image pages
                available variables:
                        $filename    - the name of the image
                        $previouspage - the URL for the previous page
                        $currentpage - the url for the current page
                        $nextpage    - the url for the next page
                        $caption     - the image caption

If any of the functions are not defined in a theme then the default theme
function will be used instead. The default theme is clean and simplistic, this
is deliberate!
