Q : How do i install MyGaL on my Website ?
A : Just unzip MyGaL on the top folder you want to explore. Beware that as it is a PHP code, your Website need to support PHP with GD and EXIF module installed (note that you can test MyGaL locally on your computer if you install some PHP server like Wamp for example)
Q : How to access to the galery page ?
A : In your web browser address bar, type
http://yoursiteaddress/yourimagefolderlocation/MyGaL.php (respect min/MAJ).
If you rename MyGaL.php to index.php the address becomes
http://yoursiteaddress/yourimagefolderlocation
http://yoursiteaddress/yourimagefolderlocation/MyGaL.php (respect min/MAJ).
If you rename MyGaL.php to index.php the address becomes
http://yoursiteaddress/yourimagefolderlocation
Q : The preview of photos takes too much time to load, whats wrong ?
A : MyGaL can display JPG/TIF image thumbnails that are present in the EXIF section of your photos. If not present, it needs to download the whole picture for the preview which can takes some times. So in your case before uploading photos to your server, you should add thumbnail in your photo by using Exifer freeware (Exifer can add thumbnails for multiple photos at once if you select them in the same time).
Q : I want to see a comment of my photo in the window, how to do it ?
A : MyGaL displays user comment only when they are present in the EXIF section of your photos. Try to add/edit the comment by using freeware like Exifer.
Q : How can i customize the look of the album ?
A : You need to edit MyGaL.php file starting whith the style sections that you can edit. Change 'style.css' to other css style file like 'style_dark.css'. By default, at least 4 different style are present in the MyStyle2 folder (dark, blue, white and ocre themes), but you can create your own style. If you look further, you will find that you can change some other variables like $maxthumb that represent the maximum number of thumbnail to display per page.
Q : MyGaL doesn't display the same way in Firefox or IE.
A : MyGaL should be displayed correctly in Firefox 3 and IE8, but i don't know for older browser as Doctype is still html and not xhtml. The reason is that when i started to writte the code i was totally beginer in html/css/php programming and thus not aware of display compatibility problems due to web browsers.
