Bizou is a very simple image gallery written in PHP following the KISS principle.
Bizou is free software released under the GPLv3 license.
(Bizou is a variant of "bisou", a french word for a kiss.)
Features
- No database needed. Just drop your images in a directory.
- Sexy URLs (/bizou/demo/index.php/2008 Corse)
- Album/directory preview (first image as preview)
- Fast browsing (next image preloading, HTTP Cache-Control headers)
- Keyboard navigation in image viewer
Install
Required: a web server with PHP5 and the GD extension.
- Untar the archive to your web directory
- Copy some files in the images/ directory
- For thumbnails, make sure the web server has write access on the data/ directory (probably not needed for FTP installs)
- Try it, have fun!
# And for commandline fans like me...
wget www.positon.org/bizou/bizou_vXX.tar.gz
tar -xzvf bizou_vXX.tar.gz
# allow we server to write in data dir
chgrp www-data bizou/data/
chmod g+w bizou/data/

All plugins are now included in Bizou archive. Many are disabled by default. To enable, move them from _disabled dir to plugins dir.
viewer
Enabled by default. An image viewer with prev/next buttons, keyboard navigation and next image preloading.
