Dropix
======

A Dropbox image gallery. **This project has been deprecated.**
For all the folks looking for an alternative, head over to
my new thing, [unicorn](http://www.github.com/mre/unicorn).

## Todo

This gallery is currently not working. [Here's why][2].

## Requirements

* Dropbox account
* Webserver with PHP support

## Setup

1. Due to Dropbox restrictions I'm not allowed to share my application
key. So you have to create a new Dropbox app at https://www.dropbox.com/developers/apps
and put the keys into `config.php`.

2. Upload the whole dropix directory to your webserver.

3. Authenticate dropix to access your dropbox account:
Open your browser, type `www.example.com/path/to/dropix/auth.php` and
follow the instructions.

4. Put some pictures into the gallery folder inside your Dropbox (no
spaces in filenames), point your browser to `www.example.com/path/to/dropix` and enjoy your
gallery :)

## Customization / Themes

The gallery is fully customizable via html and css. For a basic example,
see `index.php`.

## How it works

Dropix makes API calls to Dropbox using the awesome
[`Dropbox-API wrapper class`][1] by tijsverkoyen.
