Pyxy-gallery is an
AJAX image gallery in PHP and
JavaScript, which optionally uses lightbox.js. It is designed to
be an ultra-light-weight, "drop-in" image gallery. Its features
include:
- AJAX shininess
- Users can browse your pictures without leaving a
page. This provides for a smoother, more continuous user
experience. lightbox.jsalso includes a nice "image
loading" animation. (And AJAX skeptics can be reassured:
Pyxy uses fragment identifiers to let you bookmark and
link to individual pages within the gallery.)
- HTTP support
- Unlike some of the simplest drop-in gallery scripts,
Pyxy uses the HTTP headers that browsers send to
determine whether or not to re-send image thumbnails. It
supports keep-alive connections to drastically reduce
loading time latency.
- Ultra-lightweight
- Just drop it in and go! There may be only
one file to install: if your web host supports
it, pyxy-gallery will automatically install the
protype.js JavaScript library for you.
Note: Presently
lightbox.js installation cannot be performed manually.
See the documentation for more information. Pyxy
only requires PHP version 4.3.0 or later, with the GD
image library.
