jekyll-photo-gallery

Yet another jekyll photo gallery.

This Jekyll plugin generates galleries from directories containing images recursively. Thumbnails are created using rmagick.

Usage

1. Install the jekyll-photo-gallery gem by e.g. adding gem 'jekyll-photo-gallery' to your Gemfile and running bundle install.

2. Add jekyll-gallery-generator to the gems list in your _config.yml:

   ```

gems:

• jekyll-photo-gallery ```

3. Copy your images to your jekyll site. The directory structure should be as follows:

   ```

% tree . |- photos |- 2016 |- 2016-12-24 Christmas |- image1.jpg |- image2.jpg |- ... |- 2016-12-31 New years eve |- 2015 |- ...

    An infinite depth of recursion is supported. Folders are allowed to contain both images and folders. The original files are made available in the `_site` directory using symbolic links.


## Configuration

Configure the plugin in your  `_config.yml`:

photo_gallery: path: photos thumbnail_size: 256

The thumbnails are generated as squares with the [resize_to_fill](https://rmagick.github.io/image3.html#resize_to_fill) method and saved in `_site` inside the mirrored folder structure of `path`.

## Templating

All important html elements of the generated photo gallery have dedicated CSS classes which can be used for styling or incorporating a javascript photo slideshow script.
