| 1 | During the Membership meeting in October 2012 to connect the meetings in New York City and Mexico City and member around the world a photo stream was created on [http://i.mayfirst.org] |
| 2 | [[BR]] |
| 3 | This was achieved with javascript and a email checking script. So that when an email is sent with a photo to a specified address the script pulls the image and uploads it to designated site. |
| 4 | |
| 5 | There are some dependencies that need to be installed from root on the server |
| 6 | |
| 7 | {{{ |
| 8 | apt-get install php5-imagick libjs-jquery-ui libjs-jquery |
| 9 | }}} |
| 10 | |
| 11 | The following information is available in the README files after you "git" them |
| 12 | |
| 13 | In your home directory on the server enter the following command |
| 14 | |
| 15 | {{{ |
| 16 | git clone git://git.mayfirst.org/jamie/get-picture-via-imap.git |
| 17 | }}} |
| 18 | |
| 19 | Afterwards copy the contents of the |
| 20 | |
| 21 | {{{ |
| 22 | ~/get-picture-via-imap/web |
| 23 | }}} |
| 24 | |
| 25 | to the /web directory on the server |
| 26 | |
| 27 | {{{ |
| 28 | $~cp get-picture-via-imap/web/*.* /path/to/web/ |
| 29 | }}} |
| 30 | |
| 31 | Once the files and directories are copied then proceed to to the subdirectory for galleria |
| 32 | |
| 33 | {{{ |
| 34 | $~/path/to/web/galleria |
| 35 | }}} |
| 36 | |
| 37 | Follow the included README file |
| 38 | Down load galleria: http://galleria.io/ and put it in this directory. |
| 39 | Then, create a symlink for galleria.js -> galleria-n.n.n.js replacing |
| 40 | n.n.n with the version of galleria that you installed. |
| 41 | |
| 42 | Do the same from the javascript director |
| 43 | |
| 44 | {{{ |
| 45 | $~/path/to/web/js/ |
| 46 | }}} |
| 47 | |
| 48 | Download both jquery (http://jquery.com/) and jquery-ui (http://jqueryui.com/). |
| 49 | Add symlinks: jquery.min.js -> jquery-n.n.n.min.js |
| 50 | jquery-ui.min.js -> jquery-ui-n.n.n.min.js |
| 51 | Replacing n.n.n with the appropriate version numbers. |
| 52 | |
| 53 | Symlink can be established with the follwing command |
| 54 | |
| 55 | {{{ |
| 56 | $~/path/to/web/galleria/ln -s galleria-n.n.n.js galleria.js |
| 57 | }}} |
| 58 | |
| 59 | same should be done in the js directory for the jquery and jquery-ui |
| 60 | |
| 61 | after the above symlinks are created please create an images directory on web |
| 62 | |
| 63 | {{{ |
| 64 | $~/path/to/web/images/ |
| 65 | }}} |
| 66 | |
| 67 | As the script is looking to place the photos in the /images directory |
| 68 | |
| 69 | The final configuration is the imap.cnf file. This file needs to be in the home directory as that is where the cron job will be looking for the configuration |
| 70 | |
| 71 | {{{ |
| 72 | username:password@mail.server.org |
| 73 | }}} |
| 74 | |
| 75 | if we are using the mayfirst server than mail.server.org --> mail.mayfirst.org |
| 76 | |
| 77 | Be sure to type the username and password with the : in between as the script requires it to check the emails and then process the images. |
| 78 | |
| 79 | Then please visit the site and test if the emails come through by uploading the images |
| 80 | |
| 81 | |
| 82 | ---- |
| 83 | |
| 84 | If you want to use the same site again for a future event please copy the contents of the /images directory and create a new folder under /web with a name for the event[[BR]] |
| 85 | Then copy the contents of the /web directory (excluding the images directory) to the newly created sub directory for the event. |
| 86 | |
| 87 | Then when people visit <said.site.org/photoevent> it will load the galleria software and script to display the images. |
