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.
