easiGallery is a gallery with page navigation that you can add to your web site easily and quickly, you can have it up and running in the time it takes to upload the files and images. easiGallery consists of 5 php scripts, a decrypt loader folder and a configuration file you can use to adjust easiGallery's settings... if you feel the need to. easiGallery can be customised endlessly by using the over 62 supplied preference settings allowing you to create a totally personalised design for your gallery.

You need no knowledge of scripting, in fact it is as simple as dropping the scripts and loader folder into your web site directory then adding a link to the gallery page.

easiGallery gives you the option to create the thumbnails on the fly and therefore be more efficient and so reducing the time needed to load the images, in most cases this will avoid the need to reduce the image size before uploading images. If the GD library in PHP is not available then the images will be pulled directly from the easiGallery image folder.
Note: easiGallery v.1.1 will read .jpg .gif & .png files.

What do I need to use easiGallery?

1# A copy of easiGallery, you can use a demo to get everything up and running. Download Demo

2# The server easiGallery is used on needs to be running PHP. easiGallery will only create images on the fly if the GD libary for PHP is installed and activated, otherwise it will default to loading the images directly from the 'easiGallery_image' folder.

3# A loader file to decrypt the easiScript, the loader used depends on the system and server type that the easiScript is used on. The default download of easiCaptcha includes the loaders needed for both Windows and Linux servers, if you need a loader for another server type such as OSX, FreeBSD, Solaris or other then those loaders can be downloaded from the ioncube loaders download page. If you are unsure as to which loader to use or have other questions you can Download a folder that will check the loader you need, or if you are having problems you can Contact us.

How much does easiGallery cost?

The license for easiGallery is $20 per domain (Not IP Address), this allows as many copies of easiGallery to be used on the same domain it is registered for. Once bought a license cannot be used for any other domain than the one it has been registered for, nor is it transferable. Each domain needs it's own licence. Buy easiGallery. You can Download Demo and get your gallery up and running before you buy.

How does easiGallery work?

easiGallery reads the contents of the 'easiGallery_images' folder and checks for files that are .gif, .jpg or .png files, it then creates a list of the files, sorts them and returns them relative to the navigation selected by the user.

If you select to create images on the fly then if the GD library is available it will be used to do this, otherwise easiGallery will load the images directly from the 'easiGallery_images' folder. Even if this option is selected we reccommend that you resize the images to the larger size that they will be viewed at, this is imperative if you have not the GD library installed or select not to use it, remember 75 dpi is sufficent resolution for viewing images on a computer.

easiGallery will not handle a mixture of portrait format and landscape format images, images in the galleries used with easiGallery are best kept to one or the other, so if you have both types of images then you should create a gallery for each. This is something that we will probably look at in a later version.

What control do I have?

There is a configuration script included with easiGallery, it includes 62 different settings allowing you to change the appearance of the gallery in many ways, here are some things that you have control over:

# The number of images across.
# The number of images down.
# Page title.
# Using a header text and control over it's style.
# Control over the page navigation links, text and style, so you can use easiGallery with other languages.
# Size of thumbs.
# Size of the larger view image.
# Image borders, widths and colours.
# Page background colour.
# and more...

You can see a couple of sample galleries possible from the thousands of combinations available.
BTW, These several Galleries took us about 10 minutes to create using easiGallery, that's 10 minutes to make all of them.

Do I get access to the code for easiGallery?

No, all easiGallery scripts apart from the config file come encoded, an 'Ioncube' decoder folder and an 'index.htm' page are also supplied, the index.htm file is optional and is supplied only so if someone drops 'easiGallery_gallery.php' from the end of the URL then they will be redirected to the 'easiGallery_gallery.php' page.

What if I want more control over the gallery styles?

You have a vast amount of control over the styles for easiGallery, but if you want total control to customise even more beyond that offered by the 'easiGallery_config.php' file then you can add your own css file. Download optional easiGallery css file. Alter the styles to your liking then upload the 'easiGallery_css.php' file to the 'easiGallery' folder, this file will then over ride the styles set by easiGallery.

How do I link to easiGallery from another page in my site?

You simply add a link wherever on your web site you want it to be, this can be done as follows:

A text link to the gallery including the URL might be as follows:

<a href="http://the_website_domain/easiGallery/easiGallery_gallery.php"> Image Gallery</a>

A text link to the gallery from a page within a directory that contains the easiGallery folder:

<a href="./easiGallery/easiGallery_gallery.php"> Image Gallery</a>

A text link to the gallery from a page one directory higher than the gallery:

<a href="../easiGallery/easiGallery_gallery.php"> Image Gallery</a>

A text link to the gallery from a page one directory lower than the gallery:

<a href="./directory_name/easiGallery/easiGallery_gallery.php"> Image Gallery</a>

If you are using Freeway to build your web site then there are Freeway 4 Pro examples here.
