Q : How do i install MyOpE on my Website ?
A : Just unzip MyOpE 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 MyOpE 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/MyOpE.php (respect min/MAJ).
If you rename MyOpE.php to index.php the address becomes
http://yoursiteaddress/yourimagefolderlocation
Q : My photos are not previewed, there is an icon instead, or the preview takes too much time to load, whats wrong ?

Q : My photos are not previewed, there is an icon instead, or the preview takes too much time to load, whats wrong ?
A : MyOpE 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 balloon window, how to do it ?
Q : I want to see a comment of my photo in the balloon window, how to do it ?
A : MyOpE 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 do i change MyOpE icons ?
A : Just replace existing PNG file by your own images (note that a really big source for finding/asking for new icon is to be found at PngFactory).
Q : How can i create transparent GIF or PNG like MyOpE icons ?
A : You can use freewares like GIMP or Photofiltre (note that MyOpE icons have been created by using Inkscape, an open source Scalable Vector Graphic editor. Even if limited compared to GIMP, the SVG aspect of Inkscape seduced me. Once created i used Photofiltre to create transparent effect)

Q : How can i change displayed icon size, file type association or information ?
A : You need to edit MyOpE.php file. The file starts whith a parameter section (with comments) that you can edit. Try to have a look, you will find that easy to make changes like file names or variable numbers (note that you can choose to hide files or folder, but as it is in the script, you should protect these by yourself)
Q : MyOpE doesn't display the same way in Firefox or IE.
A : MyOpE should be displayed correctly in Firefox 3 and IE8, but i don't know for older browser (if you see a baloon window centered on the icon you survol with the mouse, then the display is not correct). That is because MyOpE 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 problem in web browser.
