LuxGallery
Combined gallery and lightbox
Incredibly simple, all-in-one solution for web galleries
Responsive design at any size
Instructions
- Download LuxGallery (lux.zip - click the 'Raw' button)
- Unzip the downloaded folder (lux.zip -> lux)
- Upload the LuxGallery folder (lux) to the root of your website (where your homepage resides)
- To include a gallery on a page, copy and paste the following line of code into the head section of the page:
<?php include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/lux/luxgallery.php'; ?>
- If the page isn't already a PHP file, rename it (index.html -> index.php)
- Make a folder called "images" on the same 'level' (within the file hierarchy) where your gallery page is. In that folder, place the images you want the gallery to display.
- Finally, you can instantiate a gallery anywhere within the body of your page by including the following line of code:
<?php luxGallery("Your gallery name goes here") ?>

I made LuxGallery because I wanted a simple, elegant photo gallery that was plug-and-play. Most importantly, I created LuxGallery to be accesible and and usable by everyone, regardless of their familiarity with web development.
