Since launch, the Fabjectory Gallery page has been a single page with a the flash Flickr photoviewer in it. At the time, this was a quick way to get pictures onto the site without a lot of hassle.
Lately though, I’ve found more and more people that have never been to Flickr (and therefore have to download a flash component just to see the pictures) and / or who don’t have or like Flash, etc.
So, I’ve just finished combining
Lightbox image viewer 2.03 + Working with Files in PHP + How to create thumbnails with PHP and gd = Super Newly Redone Gallery
I’m really pleased with the end result:
- To add new images, I just FTP images to a folder
- The page automatically reads through the folder and subfolders breaking them into sub-galleries (Mii and SecondLife currently)
- Thumbnails are created on the fly by PHP+GD, if a thumbnail already exists it’s skipped.
- No flash components, etc.
It’s still got one minor issue with IE7, where a placeholder image is missing, but overall it seems to be working really well. If anyone sees any other problems with it, please email me at:
Thanks!
