Howto add a new page to the gallery
The gallery pages are created by means of igal2. This software works on your computer (Linux of course), allowing you to create a gallery page (including thumbnails and captions to pictures) that can later be uploaded to the website.
Before you start ...
Download and install igal2 software onto your computer. On Debian you just run aptitude install igal2 as root (or using sudo).
Step by step instructions
Make pictures
- Create a directory somewhere on your computer.
Download the two templates from the bottom of this page and copy them to the newly created directory. Make sure the names start with a "." character!
- Copy the pictures you want to include in your gallery page to the newly created directory.
- Change to the newly created directory that now holds all your pictures
Run the command igal2 -c --bigy 480. The -c creates a File named .captions that you can use to add captions to the pictures.
- Edit the .captions File.
Rund the command igal2 -c --bigy 480 again. Now the thumbnails and 480 pixels wide versions of your pictures will be created.
Copy the entire directory to http://sat.mur.at/ 's document root directory.
Edit the gallery.html file on http://sat.mur.at/ and add a link to the new gallery page.
