NAME

       Apache::Gallery - mod_perl handler to create an image gallery

SYNOPSIS

       See the INSTALL file in the distribution for installation instructions.

DESCRIPTION

       Apache::Gallery creates an thumbnail index of each directory and allows viewing pictures
       in different resolutions. Pictures are resized on the fly and cached. The gallery can be
       configured and customized in many ways and a custom copyright image can be added to all
       the images without modifying the original.

CONFIGURATION

       In your httpd.conf you set the global options for the gallery. You can also override each
       of the options in .htaccess files in your gallery directories.

       The options are set in the httpd.conf/.htaccess file using the syntax: PerlSetVar
       OptionName 'value'

       Example: PerlSetVar GalleryCacheDir '/var/cache/www/'

       GalleryAutoRotate
           Some cameras, like the Canon G3, can detect the orientation of a the pictures you take
           and will save this information in the 'Orientation' EXIF field. Apache::Gallery will
           then automatically rotate your images.

           This behavior is default but can be disabled by setting GalleryAutoRotate to 0.

       GalleryCacheDir
           Directory where Apache::Gallery should create its cache with scaled pictures. The
           default is /var/cache/www/ . Here, a directory for each virtualhost or location will
           be created automatically. Make sure your webserver has write access to the CacheDir.

       GalleryTemplateDir
           Full path to the directory where you placed the templates. This option can be used
           both in your global configuration and in .htaccess files, this way you can have
           different layouts in different parts of your gallery.

           No default value, this option is required.

       GalleryInfo
           With this option you can define which EXIF information you would like to present from
           the image. The format is: '<MyName => KeyInEXIF, MyOtherName => OtherKeyInEXIF'

           Examples of keys: ShutterSpeedValue, ApertureValue, SubjectDistance, and Camera

           You can view all the keys from the EXIF header using this perl-oneliner:

           perl "-e" 'use Data::Dumper; use Image::Info qw(image_info); print
           Dumper(image_info(shift));' filename.jpg

           Default is: 'Picture Taken => DateTimeOriginal, Flash => Flash'

       GallerySizes
           Defines which widths images can be scaled to. Images cannot be scaled to other widths
           than the ones you define with this option.

           The default is '640 800 1024 1600'

       GalleryThumbnailSize
           Defines the width and height of the thumbnail images.

           Defaults to '100x75'

       GalleryThumbnailSizeLS
           If set to '1', GalleryThumbnailSize is the long and the short side of the thumbnail
           image instead of the width and height.

           Defaults to '0'.

       GalleryCopyrightImage
           Image you want to blend into your images in the lower right corner. This could be a
           transparent png saying "copyright my name 2001".

           Optional.

       GalleryWrapNavigation
           Make the navigation in the picture view wrap around (So Next at the end displays the
           first picture, etc.)

           Set to 1 or 0, default is 0

       GalleryAllowOriginal
           Allow the user to download the Original picture without resizing or putting the
           CopyrightImage on it.

           Set to 1 or 0, default is 0

       GallerySlideshowIntervals
           With this option you can configure which intervals can be selected for a slideshow.
           The default is '3 5 10 15 30'

       GallerySortBy
           Instead of the default filename ordering you can sort by any stat attribute. For
           example size, atime, mtime, ctime.

       GalleryDirSortBy
           Set this variable to sort directories differently than other items, can be set to
           size, atime, mtime and ctime; setting any other value will revert to sorting by name.

       GalleryMemoize
           Cache EXIF data using Memoize - this will make Apache::Gallery faster when many people
           access the same images, but it will also cache EXIF data until the current Apache
           child dies.

       GalleryUseFileDate
           Set this option to 1 to make A::G show the files timestamp instead of the EXIF value
           for "Picture taken".

       GallerySelectionMode
           Enable the selection mode. Select images with checkboxes and get a list of filenames.

       GalleryEXIFMode
           You can choose how Apache::Gallery should display EXIF info from your images.

           The default setting is 'namevalue'. This setting will make Apache::Gallery print out
           the names and values of the EXIF values you configure with GalleryInfo. The
           information will be parsed into $INFO in pictureinfo.tpl.

           You can also set it to 'values' which will make A::G parse the configured values into
           the var $EXIFVALUES as 'value | value | value'

           If you set this option to 'variables' the items you configure in GalleryInfo will be
           available to your templates as $EXIF_<KEYNAME> (in all uppercase).  That means that
           with the default setting "Picture Taken => DateTimeOriginal, Flash => Flash" you will
           have the variables $EXIF_DATETIMEORIGINAL and $EXIF_FLASH available to your templates.
           You can place them anywhere you want.

       GalleryRootPath
           Change the location of gallery root. The default is ""

       GalleryRootText
           Change the name that appears as the root element in the menu. The default is "root:"

       GalleryMaxThumbnailsPerPage
           This options controls how many thumbnails should be displayed in a page. It requires
           $BROWSELINKS to be in the index.tpl template file.

       GalleryImgFile
           Pattern matching the files you want Apache::Gallery to view in the index as
           thumbnails.

           The default is '\.(jpe?g|png|tiff?|ppm)$'

       GalleryDocFile
           Pattern matching the files you want Apache::Gallery to view in the index as normal
           files. All other filetypes will still be served by Apache::Gallery but are not visible
           in the index.

           The default is

                '\.(mpe?g|avi|mov|asf|wmv|doc|mp3|mp4
                 |ogg|pdf|rtf|wav|dlt|txt|html?|csv|eps)$'

       GalleryTTFDir
           To use the GalleryCopyrightText feature you must set this option to the directory
           where your True Type fonts are stored. No default is set.

           Example:

                   PerlSetVar      GalleryTTFDir '/usr/share/fonts/'

       GalleryTTFFile
           To use the GalleryCopyrightText feature this option must be set to the name of the
           True Type font you wish to use. Example:

                   PerlSetVar      GalleryTTFFile 'verdanab.ttf'

       GalleryTTFSize
           Configure the size of the CopyrightText that will be inserted as copyright notice in
           the corner of your pictures.

           Example:

                   PerlSetVar      GalleryTTFSize '10'

       GalleryCopyrightText
           The text that will be inserted as copyright notice.

           Example:

                   PerlSetVar      GalleryCopyrightText '(c) Michael Legart'

       GalleryCopyrightColor
           The text color of your copyright notice.

           Examples:

           White:
                   PerlSetVar      GalleryCopyrightColor '255,255,255,255'

           Black:
                   PerlSetVar      GalleryCopyrightColor '0,0,0,255'

           Red:
                   PerlSetVar      GalleryCopyrightColor '255,0,0,255'

           Green:
                   PerlSetVar      GalleryCopyrightColor '0,255,0,255'

           Blue:
                   PerlSetVar      GalleryCopyrightColor '0,0,255,255'

           Transparent orange:
                   PerlSetVar      GalleryCopyrightColor '255,127,0,127'

       GalleryCopyrightBackgroundColor
           The background-color of a GalleryCopyrightText

           r,g,b,a - for examples, see GalleryCopyrightColor

       GalleryQuality
           The quality (1-100) of scaled images

           This setting affects the quality of the scaled images.  Set this to a low number to
           reduce the size of the scaled images.  Remember to clear out your cache if you change
           this setting.  Quality seems to default to 75, at least in the jpeg and png loader
           code in Imlib2 1.1.0.

           Examples:

           Quality at 50:
                   PerlSetVar      GalleryQuality '50'

       GalleryUnderscoresToSpaces
           Set this option to 1 to convert underscores to spaces in the listing of directory and
           file names, as well as in the alt attribute for HTML <img> tags.

       GalleryCommentExifKey
           Set this option to e.g. ImageDescription to use this field as comments for images.

       GalleryEnableMediaRss
           Set this option to 1 to enable generation of a media RSS feed. This can be used e.g.
           together with the PicLens plugin from http://piclens.com

FEATURES

       Rotate images
           Some cameras, like the Canon G3, detects the orientation of a picture and adds this
           info to the EXIF header. Apache::Gallery detects this and automatically rotates images
           with this info.

           If your camera does not support this, you can rotate the images manually, This can
           also be used to override the rotate information from a camera that supports that. You
           can also disable this behavior with the GalleryAutoRotate option.

           To use this functionality you have to create file with the name of the picture you
           want rotated appended with ".rotate". The file should include a number where these
           numbers are supported:

                   "1", rotates clockwise by 90 degree
                   "2", rotates clockwise by 180 degrees
                   "3", rotates clockwise by 270 degrees

           So if we want to rotate "Picture1234.jpg" 90 degrees clockwise we would create a file
           in the same directory called "Picture1234.jpg.rotate" with the number 1 inside of it.

       Ignore directories/files
           To ignore a directory or a file (of any kind, not only images) you create a
           <directory|file>.ignore file.

       Comments
           To include comments for a directory you create a <directory>.comment file where the
           first line can contain "TITLE: New title" which will be the title of the page, and a
           comment on the following lines.  To include comments for each picture you create files
           called picture.jpg.comment where the first line can contain "TITLE: New title" which
           will be the title of the page, and a comment on the following lines.

           Example:

                   TITLE: This is the new title of the page
                   And this is the comment.<br />
                   And this is line two of the comment.

           The visible name of the folder is by default identical to the name of the folder, but
           can be changed by creating a file <directory>.folder with the visible name of the
           folder.

           It is also possible to set GalleryCommentExifKey to the name of an EXIF field
           containing the comment, e.g. ImageDescription. The EXIF comment is overridden by the
           .comment file if it exists.
