    24 <h1>Degal</h1>

    25     <h2>About</h2>

    26         <p>

    27             <strong>Degal</strong> is a HTML photo gallery script written in Python.

    28         </p>

    29     

    30     <h2>History</h2>

    31         <p>

    32             Degal was origionally based on a similar HTML gallery script called <a href="http://pajukanta.fi/projects/egal/">EGAL</a>,

    33             written by Santtu Pajukanta, rewritten to add more features such as support for sub-folders (!).

    34         </p>

    35 

    36         <p>

    37             Releases 0.1 - 0.2 remained fairly simplistic single-module scripts which were manageable, but development

    38             in the old SVN repository quickly split the code up into a package. At this point the packaging and

    39             structure quickly fell apart, with the resulting code and CGI scripts being barely useable by myself.

    40         </p>

    41 

    42         <p>

    43             In early summer 2009, I picked up development again, heavily refactoring the old svn code into a (hopefully)

    44             better structure.

    45         </p>

    46 

    47         <p>

    48             Currently, the only releases are still from the old first-generation era, but hopefully we should be seeing a

    49             third-generation release fairly soon :)

    50         </p>

    58     <h2>Download</h2>

    59         <h3>Release versions</h3>

    60             <ul>

    61             % for filename, url in releases :

    62                 <li><a href="${url}">${filename}</a></li>

    63             % endfor

    64             </ul>

    65             

    66         <h3>Development version</h3>

    67             <code>hg clone http://hg.qmsk.net/degal</code>

    68     

    69     <h2>Installation and usage (for release versions)</h2>

    70         <p>Extract the archive file and move these files and directories to where your images are:</p>

    71         <ul>

    72             <li>.htaccess</li>

    73             <li>degal.py</li>

    74             <li>utils.py</li>

    75             <li>shorturl.cgi</li>

    76             <li>style.css</li>

    77             <li>templates/</li>

    78         </ul>

    79         <p>If you wish to use ShortURLs and run DeGAL with mod_userdir, you may need to modify the .htaccess to set the RewriteBase.</p>

    80         <p>If you now execute degal.py on the command line, it will scan through your images, create thumbnails, preview images, as well as generate the HTML gallery pages.</p>

    81         <p>Gallery (directory) titles may optionaly be specified in a file called title.txt in each directory. If present, it should contain a short title that will be used for all links to that gallery. You may also add a longer description (after the title, seperated by three dashes, ---, extra whitespace will be stripped away) which will be shown on the directory's index page.</p>

    82         <p>The same may be done for induvidual images (replace the file extension with .txt, i.e. DSC0001.jpg becomes DSC0001.txt) whereupon the URL for the image will use a simplified version of the image's title.</p>

    83         <p>It is also possible to specify a list of directories/files to index as command-line arguments to degal.py, in which case it will only process those files. Note that a directory index will only be updated if the directory itself is included in the filter.</p>
