Hi, I recently came across one of your GALLERY sites and I thought to myself..
...WOW?!?! Where can I get a copy of this!! It looks pretty snazzy...

Well it seems that I can't. :cry:

[Problems]
(1) I want to setup a thumbnail CDROM for all the pictures I've downloaded off the net (1500+ pictures) for family/friends/neighbours but the problem is, that all the other programs (Thumbsplus, Photoshop etc) make really cr*p Thumbnail pages.

(2) Gallery:: is written in PHP, which of course I know nothing about.
I'm used to HTML (frontpage/notepad).
I've downloaded the Gallery.Tar.Gz files and the only thing I can open is the CSS Style file.

Is there a way that I can convert .PHP? -> .HTML
Or at least make it a little simpler?

I would really like to know if its at all possible because it would look really cool for a PHOTO ALBUM on CD.

If anyone can help me, it would be much appreciated.

ROB.

See the User Guide under the Scripts section.

I would say the short answer to this is NO....unless you are just trying to steal the look and feel of the gallery's formatting. If you want the ability to upload/add photos through a browser, you won't be able to. Every photo album and every image is presented through a PHP file...the gallery functions dynamically...each page you see doesn't really exist...it is generated from a PHP file template.

He's trying to get the files onto a CD, which doesn't require needing to dynamically add pictures :smile: See the User Guide under Scripts.

Look through the gallery devel mailing list for the last month or so.
Some code was introduced into CVS to make it easier to use 'wget'
to download a static html version of a gallery installation which you could
then burn onto a CD and access through a browser. Read the list for
details and download a cvs snapshot if you want to try it.
