What?

DisImg is a picture album for close friends and relatives. The owner of the album uploads pictures and creates users/viewers for the album. The owner decides which pictures a viewer can see. Viewers can mark an interest in a picture (or quite possible the content...) and then the owner can view these markings. So the picture album can be used as a means to give away stuff no longer needed to friends and relatives.

Download and install

DisImg is on GitHub.

http://github.com/matslj/disimg/

Download it either by 'git clone' or as a tag-zip (preferably the latest tag) and then change the following define in 'config.php':

• define('WS_SITELINK', 'http://<your domain + path to where index.php is located>/'); // Link to site.

So if you for example have your index.php in localhost/disimg/ then the above define should read:

define('WS_SITELINK', 'http://localhost/disimg/'); // Link to site. (Observe that the sitlink MUST end with a slash)

That was the installation of the code. Now the database has to be configured. To do this edit the file /sql/config.php with information about your database. Then, back in the browser, point your browser to:

the location of WS_SITELINK followd by ?p=install, for example http://localhost/disimg/?p=install

and then follow the instructions to in order to set up all the necessary tables and stored routines required by disimg (press 'Destroy current database and create from scratch'). Some sample data will also be installed.

Also there are two directorys that may need to be added manually to the root of your installation. These are:

• log - log files will end up here. Make sure that the file permissions allow write. Toggle logging on off in config.php.
• uploads - the uploaded files (and created thumbnails) will end up here. Make sure the the file permissions allow write.

You are also required to enter the system file path to the location of your uploads directory in the config.php file (FILE_ARCHIVE_PATH). This could for example be: /var/www/disimg/. See config.php for further explanation.

Now the complete power of DisImg is at your hands.

In final deployment, the install directory (/pages/install) should be erased.

An example of a pure standard installation of DisImg is available here (not available yet). Review it before moving on.
