# Gallery Generator
This is a [Jekyll plugin](http://jekyllrb.com/docs/plugins/) that generates galleries from directories full of images. It uses [RMagick](http://rmagick.rubyforge.org/) to create thumbnails.
This plugin is quite minimalist. It generates galleries with no pagination, no sub-galleries, and no descriptions. [See my gallery](http://geoff.greer.fm/photos/) for an example of what it looks like.

## Usage
1. Install the `jekyll-gallery-generator` gem, either by running `gem install jekyll-gallery-generator` or by adding `gem 'jekyll-gallery-generator'` to your `Gemfile` and running `bundle`.
2. Add `jekyll-gallery-generator` to the plugins list in your `_config.yml`:
```yaml
plugins:
- jekyll-gallery-generator
```
3. Copy your image directories into `jekyll-site/photos/`. Here's what my directory structure looks like:
```bash
$ ls jekyll-site/photos
best/ chile_trip/ japan_trip/
$ ls jekyll-site/photos/chile_trip
IMG_1039.JPG IMG_1046.JPG IMG_1057.JPG
```
4. Run `jekyll build` and be patient. It can take a while to generate all the thumbnails on the first run. After that, you should have pretty pictures.
## Dependencies
* [ImageMagick](http://www.imagemagick.org/)
* [RMagick](https://github.com/rmagick/rmagick)
* [exifr](https://github.com/remvee/exifr/)
* [Ruby](https://www.ruby-lang.org) >= 2.1

```bash
brew install imagemagick rbenv
rbenv install 2.4.0
rbenv global 2.4.0
gem install rmagick exifr
```
### Install dependencies on Ubuntu
```bash
apt install libmagick++-dev
gem install rmagick exifr

## Configuration
This plugin reads several config options from `_config.yml`. The following options are supported (default settings are shown):
```yaml
gallery:
dir: photos # Path to the gallery
symlink: false # false: copy images into _site. true: create symbolic links (saves disk space)
title: "Photos" # Title for gallery index page
title_prefix: "Photos: " # Title prefix for gallery pages. Gallery title = title_prefix + gallery_name
sort_field: "date_time" # How to sort galleries on the index page.
# Possible values are: title, date_time, best_image
thumbnail_size:
x: 400 # max width of thumbnails (in pixels)
y: 400 # max height of thumbnails (in pixels)
# The following options are for individual galleries.
galleries:
chile_trip:
best_image: IMG_1068.JPG # The image to show on the gallery index page. Defaults to the last image.
japan_trip:
best_image: IMG_0690.JPG
name: "日本の旅" # Defaults to directory name, replacing _ with spaces & capitalizing words.
awesome_stuff:
best_image: snaileo_gonzales.jpg
sort_reverse: true # Reverse sort images in gallery.
secret_stuff:
hidden: true # Don't show this gallery on the index page. People must guess the URL.
with_info:
info:
desc: "Gallery Description" # Info fields can be used in custom templates.
```
## Overriding layouts
If you want to customize the templates used by this generator, copy `gallery_index.html` and `gallery_page.html` to your Jekyll site's `_layouts`:
cp lib/gallery_index.html jekyll-site/_layouts/
cp lib/gallery_page.html jekyll-site/_layouts/
