<h1>Picturelicious v2.0</h1>
|
|
|
|
<h1>Installation</h1>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Edit the <code>lib/config.php</code>. Things you absolutely need to change
|
|
are the <code>$frontendPath</code> and <code>$db</code> (Database) settings.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Upload everything from the <code>picturelicious/</code> directory, so that the
|
|
<code>index.php</code> is at the root of your installation. Make sure you also
|
|
upload the <code>.htacces</code> file (it is initially hidden on MacOS).
|
|
</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Make sure PHP has writing permissions on the following directories:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>cache</li>
|
|
<li>data/avatars</li>
|
|
<li>data/images</li>
|
|
<li>data/thumbs</li>
|
|
<li>import</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>
|
|
You can change permissions (chmod) with your FTP client. Many server configurations
|
|
require you to set permissions to <code>0777</code> (all permissions set).
|
|
</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Import the <code>picturelicious.sql</code> with PHPMyAdmin into your database.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Register a new user on your site. You can give this user Admin rights, by changing
|
|
the <code>admin</code> value for this user to <code>1</code> in the <code>pl_users</code>
|
|
table. Again, use PHPMyAdmin to do so.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<strong>Important:</strong> If you want to use the vbb-Forum integration, you have to install
|
|
the forum and activate it in your config before(!) any users are registered.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
<h1>Mass importing images</h1>
|
|
<p>
|
|
You can import many images at once. Just upload all images you want to appear on your site into the
|
|
<code>import/</code> directory of your installation, log in as an admin user and choose <em>Import</em>
|
|
from the menu. You can then click on <em>Import Images</em> at the bottom of the page. Please note that
|
|
this may take a while.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h1>Customizing the Image Grid</h1>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The Image Grid or <em>"Image Cloud"</em> is highly customizable but requires some understanding.
|
|
When a page is loaded, all images are assigned to one of the available thumbnail sizes and the Image Grid
|
|
is then generated in a fixed width. This is important for users who have Javascript disabled. When Javascript is
|
|
enabled, the Image Grid will adept to the available width of the browser window. The width and height of each
|
|
thumbnail in this grid is also specified in the <code>style.css</code>. Therefore, if you want to change
|
|
the layout, you have to edit three different files:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>lib/config.php ($gridView)</li>
|
|
<li>media/picturelicious.js (boxDef, gridSize)</li>
|
|
<li>media/style.css (.b0, .b1, .b2)</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The Image Grid is ultimately defined by the different thumbnail sizes that are available. In the default configuration,
|
|
thumbnails are generated in 3 different, qudratic sizes 64x64, 128x128 and 192x192. Since the gridSize is set to 64,
|
|
the size of the thumbnails is only specified by 1, 2 or 3 - a multiple of the gridSize.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The percentage setting in the <code>lib/config.php</code> specifies how many of the images are assigned to each of the
|
|
box definitions. All of these percentage settings should add up to 1. The order of these box definitions is also important:
|
|
the first definition is the "least important", while the last one is the "most important", meaning that images with a bad rating
|
|
will be assigned to the first one, while images with a good rating, will be assigned to the last one.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Take a look at the <code>image-grid-examples.html</code> for some example configurations.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Please note that whenever you change the size of one of these thumbnail definitions, the thumbnails have to be regenerated. There is
|
|
no tool included for doing so <em>on the fly</em>. The simplest solution is, to move all images into the <code>import/</code>
|
|
directory, clear the database and import these images again.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h1>Using the Random Thumbnail Widget</h1>
|
|
<p>
|
|
To promote your Picturelicious site on other websites, you can easily embed some thumbnails from
|
|
Picturelicious by using the following code snippet:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<code><script type="text/javascript" src="http://example.com/random/4/64x64/"></script></code>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
This will insert 4 thumbnails in 64x64 wherever you put this snippet to. Also take a look at the
|
|
configuration (Random Thumbnail Widget).
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h1>Configuration</h1>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All configuration settings can be found in <code>lib/config.php</code>. Following is a list of
|
|
these settings and their meaning. Many of this settings are only needed for fine tuning.
