Exposition is a modern HTML 5 photo gallery software for the Web.
- Maximize the use of the window by dynamically adjusting the number of thumbnails and the size of pictures.
- Easy deployment. Rely on common web technologies. Apache with PHP and GD.
- No Database. No SQL. The filesystem is your database. An album is a directory. A photo an an image within.
- No complex administration console to upload and manage photos. Just upload files to the right place to add new photos.
- Designed with modern browsers in mind. The absence of compatibility with IE 6 is a feature, not a bug.

-
Upload albums and photos to PHOTO_DIR
- Each directory represents an album and each image file represents a photo.
- Albums can have sub-albums and/or photos.
- By default file names are used as titles, and items are sorted by alphabetical order.
- It is possible to modify the default behavior on for each album, by adding an album.json file, with the following syntax:
{ "version": 1, /* Mandatory. Integer. Must be 1 / "children": / Mandatory. Children of the album will be shown in the same order as appear in this array. Files which are not listed will not be displayed, but could still be accessed with a direct link (hidden album) / [ { / Item config / "filename": "filename", / Mandatory. File or directory name within the album / "title": "custom_title" / Optional. Use this title instead of basename */ } ] }
* Navigate to the **index.html** page. Exposition should now be working and displaying your photos and albums.
