# Prosopopee
More or less a small clone of exposure.co in form of a static generator. For
those of you who don't know what exposure.co is, this allows you to tell a
story with your pictures.
You can find example usages here:
* http://surleschemins.fr
* http://media.faimaison.net/photos/galerie/
* https://www.thebrownianmovement.org/
* http://outside.browny.pink
* http://such.life
# Why?
I wanted to learn a bit of advanced css and I wanted to self-host my data
instead of using exposure.co.
## Requirements
Installation needs Python, pip and virtualenv
apt-get install python-pip python-virtualenv
Gallery building needs graphicsmagick library
apt-get install graphicsmagick
## Installation
1. Create a virtualenv, and activate it
```
virtualenv ve
source ve/bin/activate
```
2. Download and install Prosopopee
```
pip install prosopopee
```
## Files organisation
The files organisation is quite simple:
* in the root directory of your project you need a settings.yaml file that will contains the title and subtitle of your gallery
* for each gallery you'll need a folder that also contains a settings.yaml file that will describe how to display the content on your gallery
* and you put the pictures of the gallery inside the gallery folder
### Root settings.yaml
The root settings.yaml should contains 2 keys : one for the title of your website and one for the subtitle. It should looks like that:
```yaml
title: My exploration of the outside world
sub_title: it's a scary place, don't go there
```
It can also optionally contain a menu and global settings.
#### Menu
It is possible to add a menu to your homepage that links to static pages. To do so, add a `menu` key to your `settings.yaml`, for example:
```yaml
menu:
- about: "About"
- first_gallery: "My first gallery"
- http://twitter.com: "Twitter"
```
For example, this could be the content of `settings.yaml` in `about` folder:
```yaml
title: "About"
static: true
public: false
sections:
- type: text
text: Some text, HTML is allowed.
```
You can use the `static` option to get a template closer to the one of the
homepage that is better suited for a static page. You'll need to specify
"public: false" if you don't want to list this page on the homepage. On you
case you didn't specified "public: false" you'll **need** to specify a "cover:"
entry like any other gallery.
**NOTE**: except the "static: " option to disepear quite soon for a more
generic approach to "choose your page style".
#### Global settings
Global settings can be set in your root `settings.yaml`, under the `settings` key.
##### GM
Currently a `gm` settings key allows to customize the default GraphicsMagick's behavior. It looks like :
```yaml
settings:
gm:
quality: 75
auto-orient: True
strip: True
resize: 50%
```
The meaning of the currently supported GraphicsMagick's settings is as follows :
* `quality` allows to customize the compression level of thumbnails (between 0 and 100)
* `auto-orient` change the orientation of pictures so they are upright (based on corresponding EXIF tags if present)
* `strip` removes all profiles and text attributes from the image (good for privacy, slightly reduce file size)
* `resize` can be used to resize the fullsize version of pictures. by default, input image size is preserved
Any GraphicsMagick setting can be customized on a per-image basis (either `cover` or `image`, see below).
##### Themes
Prosopopée has a support for various themes. As for now, only 2 themes are available:
* the default one called "exposure"
* "material" based on materialcss
To specify the theme, add the "theme" key in your "settings" key or your
**root** settings.yaml. For example:
```yaml
title: My exploration of the outside world
sub_title: it's a scary place, don't go there
settings:
theme: material
```
##### Licence
By default Prosopopée use CC-BY-SA for all the content, if you want use a another licence
you need add key in **root** settings.yaml. For example:
```yaml
licence:
name: WTFPL
url: "http://www.wtfpl.net/txt/copying/"
```
##### Share
If you want enable the share content on social network, add key in **root** settings.yaml. For example:
By defaut you can share on facebook, twitter, pinterest, google+.
```yaml
share: true
url: "http://prosopopee.com/"
```
### Gallery settings.yaml
This settings.yaml will describe:
* the title, subtitle and cover picture of your gallery that will be used on the homepage
* the tags is optional
* if your gallery is public (if not, it will still be built but won't appear on the homepage)
* the date of your gallery: this will be used on the homepage since **galleries are sorted anti chronologically** on it
* the list of sections that will contains your gallery. A section will represent either one picture, a group of pictures or text. The different kind of sections will be explained in the next README section.
Here is an example:
```yaml
title: Gallery title
sub_title: Gallery sub-title
date: 2016-01-15
cover: my_cover_picture.jpg
tags:
- #yolo
- #travel
sections:
- type: full-picture
image: big_picture.jpg
text:
title: Big picture title
sub_title: Some text
date: 2016-01-15
- type: pictures-group
images:
-
- image1.jpg
- image2.jpg
- image3.jpg
-
- image4.jpg
- image5.jpg
- type: text
text: Some text, HTML is allowed.
- type: bordered-picture
image: another_picture.jpg
```
And here is an example or a **private** gallery (notice the public
keyword):
```yaml
title: Gallery title
sub_title: Gallery sub-title
date: 2016-01-15
cover: my_cover_picture.jpg
public: false
sections:
- ...
```
#### Images handling
Images go into the `cover` or `image` keys.
Each image individual processing settings can be customized to override the default
GraphicsMagick settings defined (or not) in the root `settings.yaml`.
This is done by putting the image path into a `name` key,
and adding specific processing settings afterwards.
For example, you can replace :
```yaml
image: image1.jpg
```
by:
```yaml
image:
name: image1.jpg
quality: 90
strip: False
auto-orient: False
```
### Different kind of sections
A gallery is composed of a succession of sections as you can see on this [wonderfully
totally uninteresting example
gallery](http://psycojoker.github.io/prosopopee/first_gallery/) the gallery is
composed of 5 sections:
* a full screen picture with text written on it
* a picture with borders around it
* a group of 5 pictures
* and a fullscreen picture without text on it this time
In your settings.yaml, a section will **always** have a type
key
that will describe its kind and additional data. Underneath, the
type
key is actually the name of an HTML template and the other
data will be passed to this template.
You can find all the sections templates here: https://github.com/Psycojoker/prosopopee/tree/master/prosopopee/templates/sections
You often have an image
key. You need to give it a path to the
actual file. By convention, those files are put inside your gallery folder but
this is not mandatory.
#### Full Screen picture with OR without text on it
This displays a full screen picture as shown in the [example
gallery](http://psycojoker.github.io/prosopopee/first_gallery/) in the first
and last sections. How you should use it:
With text:
```yaml
- type: full-picture
image: big_picture.jpg
text:
title: Big picture title
sub_title: Some text
date: 2016-01-15
date_end: 2016-01-24 (Optional)
```
Without text:
```yaml
- type: full-picture
image: big_picture.jpg
```
#### Bordered picture
This displays a centered picture that is surrounded by white (the background) as
shown in the second position of the [example
gallery](http://psycojoker.github.io/prosopopee/first_gallery/).
How to use it:
```yaml
- type: bordered-picture
image: another_picture.jpg
```
#### Group of pictures
This displays a group of zoomable pictures on one or multiple lines as shown on
the fourth position (after the text) of the [example
gallery](http://psycojoker.github.io/prosopopee/first_gallery/).
```yaml
- type: pictures-group
images:
-
- image1.jpg
- image2.jpg
- image3.jpg
-
- image4.jpg
- image5.jpg
```
The first level `-` represent a line of pictures.
The second level `-` represent the list of images in this line.
**Know bug**: the images are left aligned, so if you don't put enough images on
a line, you'll have white space on the right.
#### Text
This displays some centered text as shown on the third position of the [example
gallery](http://psycojoker.github.io/prosopopee/first_gallery/). HTML is
allowed inside the text.
How to use it:
```yaml
- type: text
text: Some text, HTML is allowed.
```
#### Paragraph
This displays a h2 title followed by text. HTML is allowed inside of the text.
If no title is declared, a separator is added.
How to use it:
```yaml
- type: paragraph
title: the title
text: Some text, HTML is allowed.
```
#### HTML
This section is for raw html that will be centered (for example: inlining an OSM iframe).
How to use it:
```yaml
- type: html
html: some html stuff
