Simple Web Image Gallery

Simple Web Image Gallery is a basic free open source image gallery written in Perl and JavaScript. It is not actively maintained at the moment - this project is just a code repository for "just in case someone finds this useful".

Major Features

While some functionality is pretty basic, the search features are quite robust.

  • Each image can belong to an "album" (aka "category") and a "location".
  • Each image can have a brief comment, and a longer description.
  • Gallery display can be filtered by album and location.
  • Gallery can be searched by image description.
  • Image attributes can be changed through the web gui, using an administrator password.

Download

You can download the latest release of the Simple Web Image Gallery from the Sourceforge File Release servers

Installation Instructions

Prerequisites: a web server, or access to one, with allows running perl CGI scripts.

  • Put the perl files (*.pl) into your cgi-bin directory.
  • Don't forget to make the perl files executable.
  • Put the rest of the stuff into your web root.
  • Start playing around. :)

Usage Instructions

This is very raw code, really.

Images have to be uploaded manually, image thumbs have to be created manually, and image records have to be manually added to the database. Maybe, one day, it will become more featureful. In the meantime, I hope you can salvage something useful out of this. :)

Demo

Here is a semi-functional demo of the image gallery. It will give you a basic idea of what kind of features we have.

You cannot edit the descriptions, though you can see what the edit interface looks like. (Authentication password is "admin".) Also it seems that search is somehow a bit borked, after I changed some field names in the process of putting this demo up. But it is what it is. I hope you find this useful.
