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 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: 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: $filename - the name of the file $caption - the caption as got from captions.txt 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! Author ------ Brett Parker: e-mail: www: http://www.sommitrealweird.co.uk/
