Main Features

Powerful Admin Panel: An advanced set of tools which allow you to fully manage your galleries and pictures. Anywhere.
Multiple picture uploading: This great feature allows you to upload a large set of pictures with just one click. It's faster than using your FTP client.
Easy Installation: Just follow a simple step-by-step wizard and the script will be ready to use. It really takes less than a couple of minutes.
Gerarchic galleries: Want to keep your galleries organized the same way as on your computer ? QuickGal2 allows you to create galleries within other galleries.
Hidden & password protected galleries: You decide who can see what. Any gallery can be set as: public, protected or invisible.
Picture caching: For faster page loading, QuickGal2 saves a cache copy of each dinamically resized picture, allowing fast access and reduced system load.
Slideshows: Enjoy your pictures in a fancy Flickr-like slideshow.
Easy layout customization & integration: You can change the look of your galleries by editing the HTML template file and modifing the stylesheet rules. The script can be easily integrated using PHP (example -> source code).
Modern looking themes: In addition to the default theme, you will find two additional bundled themes: clean, dark.
Multilingual support: Translating the front-end to your language is as easy as opening a file and replacing 20 words. Fast and easy.
Watermark: This feature allows you to upload an image and dynamically add it at the bottom-right corner of every full-sized image of your set of galleries. No image will be altered and the watermarking feature can be turned off whenever you want.

F.A.Q.

How do I install the script ?
To install this script, just point your browser to www.YOURSITE.com/QuickGal2/setup.php, and follow the on screen instructions. It's very easy.
How can I integrate this script into my website layout ?
You can choose between 2 options:
- Customize the HTML code of the script's template.
  Open template.php and template_slideshow.php and edit their code. Do not edit php code blocks and, when you have finished, put a link somewhere on your site pointing to "[installation_path]/QuickGal2/index.php".
- Include the script in one of your existing pages (using PHP).
  Put the following code snippet between <head> and </head>:
  <?php /** QuickGal2: include CSS+JS **/ $pathToQuickGal = 'QuickGal2/'; require $pathToQuickGal.'includeHeaders.php'; ?>
  (The value of $pathToQuickGal is the relative path to the folder containing the script and must end with a "/" character).
  
  And put this code where you want your gallery to be shown:
  <?php /** QuickGal2: include script output **/ require $pathToQuickGal.'includeQuickGal.php'; ?>
  Here is an example: example (source code).
How can I customize the CSS stylesheet ?
The easiest way is to open "css/GalStyle.css" and edit its code.
If you prefer adding a new theme, create a new CSS file, save it to the "css/" folder and it will be automatically added to the list of supported stylesheets which can be selected in admin panel -> 'edit settings'.
How to customize the front-end language ?
Open "lang/english.php" and, in each line, change the text between single quotes on the right side of the "=>" symbol. Once you are done, save the text as a new file called "YOUR_LANGUAGE.php" (in the same folder). Now you can go to admin panel -> 'edit settings', and choose your newly created language.
How do I change name/description of a picture in the admin panel ?
It's simple. Just click on the text you want to change, write some text, and finally hit enter.
How does multiple upload work ?
Go to admin panel -> 'YOUR_GALLERY' and you will see a box at the top of the page. To upload pictures, click on "Browse.." and select the pictures you want to load in your gallery (on Windows OS: draw a blue rectangle over the files holding down your left mouse button). Once you added the files, click on 'Start Upload' and wait until all the images are transfered. When asked, reload the page.
Multiple upload is not working, what can I do ?
Multiple upload is an advanced tool and works only on the latest flash-enabeled mainstream browsers (like Firefox, Chrome, IE, etc..). If you don't have such a browser and are not able to update your software (i.e: you are in an Internet café), you can switch to the "Standard upload" mode, which allows you to transfer one image at the time as you usually do in most basic gallery scripts.
If you are able to select multiple pictures but you get an error message each time the upload process is finished, open your FTP client and make sure that the 'galleries' folder(and all its sub-folders) has chmod = 755. If your website is on a windows machine, give write pemission to that folder.
Can I delete a gallery and all its sub-galleries ?
Sure, just login to your admin panel, select the gallery, click on the 'delete' tab and hit the "delete" button. All the sub-galleries will be erased.
Can I move a gallery in the galleries gerarchy ?
Yes. Go to the 'edit' tab of your gallery and select a new parent gallery from the dropdown list.
Is QuickGal2 standards compliant
Yes. The script was written in XHTML 1.0 Transitional and uses CSS3 (back compatible with CSS2). All the pages have been successfully validated.
