Eh, I haven't put that into the code have I? Basically use it how you
want and when I put the license in the code all you have to do is
leave it in there. Free to edit and redistribute with the eventual CC
license intact.

Ya, that is kinda true. Especially with php since all of the code is
parsed server side and any comments are never seen by the browser.
But none the less, it is nice to have at least the original url in
there so that if there are ever any problems you have a good place to
look.

But then again, what does it really matter? You are getting something
for free.

99% of the time useless indeed, just something for the ego of the original
author. The other 1% is usefull though, people pointing out bugs/adding or
proposing features/discovering security issues might like to know where to
comment on it.

BTW: these are usually the same people who point out 'the futility of
war' movies make a valid point - ha ha ha ha ha :-)

Well, they sometimes make a point, they're just not going to change
anything. Wether it makes a point or not hasn't got anything to do with
being a good movie offcourse, allthough the preachy ones tend to forget to
include a descent story somewhat more often.

Re: Simple image gallery?

Just released a new version of my lightGallery php script.

Updates:

1. No use of a flat file database anymore. (unneeded thumbnail
removal)
2. JavaScript enabled and disabled versions, you choose now.
3. Other slight tweaks/optimizations.

Check out lightGallery 1.0: http://www.downupdesigns.com/lightga...ery.php?page=0

Very nice;

The previous and next links were non functional in the non javascript
version.

Yeah, sorry about that. They are functional, but I just didn't upload
enough pictures to fill more than one page. I'll go ahead and upload
the rest just so that no one thinks this is an issue.

Just wondering... is the ability to add descriptions to the individual
photos somewhere on the future "to do" list?

While not suggesting the above is the best way to do it - personally i
like some of the other image data to be displayed as well and in one
respect its actually a web design problem as no layout will ever be
perfect or suit everybody .

It really isn't in my plans to make such an addition. My initial
vision for this script was to just grab all of the images out of a
directory and display them with thumbnails and use a functional
navigation system for multiple pages of pictures. I've been trying to
keep it as light weight as possible and I don't really want to include
any database work (which would be needed for desciptions and other
information for each picture).

If anyone wants to take my code and create a more intuitive image
gallery with it, then by all means do so, but I feel that I have
created a solution for the initial problem that I had in mind.

I'm always free to suggestions, and I hope to be creating an actual
description page for this project in the near future so that it is
easier to understand any changes and to also make requests.

JAlbum gets round this by taking text from a .txt file.

photo1.jpg displays text from photo1.txt
photo2.jpg < photo2.txt and so on.

Unfortunately JA needs to be rebuilt each time the folder contents change
:-(

As this is dynamic, I like it :-)

Previous/Next links while the photo is open full screen would be nice too.
To work through an entire folder when there are lots of photos becomes a
drag continually returning to the index page.

Thanks,

That is definitely a decent way of doing that, but the thinking behind
my gallery is that I didn't want the user to really have to do
anything besides uploading the script and the images. To tell the
truth it really wouldn't be that hard to incorporate that sort of idea
into this script.

I'm guessing you are talking about the non-javascript version, which I
plan on fixing that in a small update, I just haven't gotten around to
it yet.

This one discussion is the only real place that I have publicly spoken
about the gallery.

On my photo upload page, I ask for text after the browse for photo. That
then gets stored together with the photo... same name different suffix.

JAlbum does the rest.
