Quick online galleries
Sometimes you want to post pictures online but don’t have time to make a post or add them to a proper gallery. I wrote little pieces of Applescript and a short action for Automat (for MacOSX then) that send on a webserver a folder containing the appropriate files to generate a gallery as well as your images. Otherwise, just add the content of Autogallerie.zip or AutosmoothD.zip in a folder containing your pictures and just send that folder to your server FTP.
- The first option is displaying two frames, one of them displaying the content of the folder and the other frame displaying the selected picture. Loading those pages are very slow to load since all full size pictures are loaded at the same time… The PHP code was available on the Internet but I forgot its source and author. If you have any hint about that, just let me know. Example of such a gallery
- The second solution uses SmoothGallery by JonDesign. This solution is generating a slideshow and looks really better. It is coded in JavaScript and is fully customizable. For more details, just have look at JonDesign’s website. Example of such a gallery
In both cases, remember to modify AutoXXX.scpt (This file just copies the gallery’s files into the folder containing your pictures) to adapt it to the location where you extracted upFTemP, Autogallerie and AutosmoothD files. Remember to modify upFTemP.workflow (This file sends files on a FTP server. In this case it will send the folder containing your pics and the gallery’s files) with the identifiers for your FTP connection. This Automator file requires Fetch FTP actions (free educational license).
Once all the settings are ok, you just have to save the .scpt and the .workflow as applications (.app). To create a gallery, just drag and drop the folder containing your pics on Autosmooth/Autogalerie’s icon. You will get a gallery located in http://upFTemP-website/Folder-you-drag-and-dropped-on-AutoXXXX/index.php
