excposure.co clone in a static web generating tool
Project description
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 more or less allows you to organise you picture in a way that more or less tell a story.
You can find example usages here:
Why?
I wanted to learn a bit of advanced css and I wanted to self-host my data.

Installation needs Python, pip and virtualenv
apt-get install python-pip python-virtualenv
Gallery building needs graphicsmagick library

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:
title: My exploration of the outside world
sub_title: it's a scary place, don't go there
Gallery settings.yaml
This settings.yaml will describe:
the title, subtitle and cover picture of your gallery that will be used on the homepage
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:
title: Gallery title
sub_title: Gallery sub-title
date: 2016-01-15
cover: my_cover_picture.jpg
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 <b>is allowed</b>.
- type: bordered-picture
image: another_picture.jpg
And here is an example or a private gallery (notice the public keyword):
title: Gallery title
sub_title: Gallery sub-title
date: 2016-01-15
cover: my_cover_picture.jpg
public: false
sections:
- ...
Different kind of sections
A gallery is compose of a succession of sections as you can on this wonderfully totally uninteresting example gallery the gallery is composed of 5 sections:
a full screen picture with text written on it
a picture with 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 display a full screen picture as shown in the example gallery in the first and last sections. How you should use it:
With text:
- type: full-picture
image: big_picture.jpg
text:
title: Big picture title
sub_title: Some text
date: 2016-01-15
Without text:
- type: full-picture
image: big_picture.jpg
Bordered picture
This display a centered picture that is surrounded by white (the background) as shown in the second position of the example gallery.
How to use it:
- type: bordered-picture
image: another_picture.jpg
Group of pictures
This display a group of zoomable pictures on one or multiple lines as shown on the forth position (after the text) of the example gallery.
- type: pictures-group
images:
-
- image1.jpg
- image2.jpg
- image3.jpg
-
- image4.jpg
- image5.jpg
Every sublist (the first level - represent a 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 display some centered text as shown on the third position of the example gallery. HTML is allowed inside the text.
How to use it:
- type: text
text: Some text, HTML <b>is allowed</b>.
Paragraph
This display a h2 title followed by text. HTML is allowed inside of the text. If not title is declared, a separator is added.
How to use it:
- type: paragraph
title: the title
text: Some text, HTML <b>is allowed</b>.
HTML
This section is for raw html that will be centered (for example: inlining an OSM iframe).
How to use it:
- type: html
html: <tag>some html stuff</html>
Panorama
This display a very large pictures with a drag and drop posibility on it.
How to use it:
- type: panorama

Example
As a recap, here is how the files of the example gallery are organised:
example ├── settings.yaml └── first_gallery ├── settings.yaml └── stuff.png
The content of example/settings.yaml:
title: "Example gallery"
The content of example/first_gallery/settings.yaml:
title: my first gallery
sub_title: some subtitle
date: 2015-12-08
cover: stuff.png
sections:
- type: full-picture
image: stuff.png
text:
title: Beautiful Title
sub_title: pouet pouet
date: 2015-12-08
- type: bordered-picture
image: stuff.png
- type: text
text: « voici plein de blabla à rajouter et <b>ceci est du gras</b> et encore plein plein plein plein de text car je veux voir comment ça va wrapper car c'est important et il faut pas que j'oublie de mettre des margins en % sinon ça va pas le faire alala là ça devrait aller »
- type: pictures-group
images:
-
- stuff.png
- stuff.png
- stuff.png

- stuff.png
- stuff.png
- type: full-picture
image: stuff.png
Build the website
Note: You need to be in an activated virtualenv.
In a folder containing the root settings.yaml file, simply do
prosopopee
A build folder will be created in the current directory, containing an index.html, static files (css & js) and pictures.
TODO
write documentation on how to overwrite the templates
allow to overwrite static files (for that we need a merge mechanism)
be mobile responsivepouetpouet (this mean css + resize pictures)
probably moar sections + allows to add legends on pictures or something like that
add --source & --destination command line options
add rss/atom
