JAlbum is a gallery software that makes web albums from your digital images.It is designed to make it the easiest to use and most powerful tool in this category — and it's free! So far over 7 million photo albums have been published with JAlbum and the software is started every 5 seconds somewhere in the world. Try it out and download JAlbum here.

"Skins" are plug-ins to JAlbum that determine the look and behaviour of the photo albums. Skins are developed by users in the JAlbum community all over the world. I currently have five skins in development. They are all based on the use of AJAX javascript libraries.

NEW SKIN

The Slideshow 2! Skin is a javascript class for Mootools 1.2 to stream and animate the presentation of images on your website. The Slideshow extension: Ken Burns includes panning and zooming effects. The Slideshow extension: Push includes a pushing effect that pushes one image out with another.You can hyperlink your show with a Lightbox, just click to view the full-size image in a modal window above the show. The Slideshow extension: Flash includes a flashing color effect during image transitions. Thumbnails are intelligent, auto-scrolling and tracking. It has a full-featured controller, animated captions - plain text or formatted with HTML, and is fully accessible - Slideshow can be controlled with access keys.

 

Skins

The LightBox 2 skin incorporates the AJAX libraries Lightbox (created by Lokesh Dhakar) and uses Lightview by Nick Stakenburg. It now includes an integrated slideshow within the lightbox as well as animation effects. Click on a thumbnail, background darkens and image appears. Click on upper right or left of this image to move from slide to slide. Click Play to start slideshow, Pause to stop.

 

 

The HighSlide JS skin utilizes the Highslide javascript library by Torstein Honsi. Clicking on a thumbnail opens up the image. You can open more than one image at a time, and arrange them on your screen by dragging them. Highslide JS is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 2.5 License. Highslide is free for non-commercial sites but costs $29 per commercial site. Please go to http://vikjavev.no/highslide to obtain a permission.

 

ImageFlow is a JAlbum Skin using the Mootools javascript library and is based on Apple's coverflow. It uses the Imageflow javascript at http://imageflow.finnrudolph.de. The gallery can be scrolled with the keyboard and or mouse scroll wheel. Includes a lightbox for a larger image from the gallery. ***The image reflections are done server side with a PHP script so you will need to upload the gallery to a server to view it. If your servers PHP version lacks the GD extension it may not show images as well***

 

Cycle Skin is built with the jQuery javascript library. jQuery is a fast, concise, JavaScript Library that simplifies how you traverse HTML documents, handle events and perform animations.
The slide transitions and timing are configurable. Transitions include fade
fadeZoom, scrollUp, scrollDown, scrollLeft, scrollRight, scrollHorz, scrollVert, shuffle, slideX, slideY, turnUp, turnDown, turnLeft, turnRight and zoom.

 

 

SimpleBox is simple and fast Lightbox.It is used to overlay images on the current page through the power and flexibility of jQuery. Basic lightbox functionality, lightweight and small file size, for those that just want a simple lightbox. Quick and easy!

 

 

 

SmoothGallery is a javascript gallery and slideshow system using the javascript library Mootools and incorporating Slightbox, a lightbox extension. It allows you to show popup images from within SmoothGallery in a lightbox.

 

I am a Veterinarian in the San Francisco Bay Area but at other times I am a Mac Consultant, Web Designer, photographer and a Jalbum Skin developer. I am interested in AJAX and I really like incorporating different javascript libraries into Jalbum skins. I enjoy running, swimming, playing music and I am a single parent to two teenage girls. Oh, did I say I love Macs? ( since 1984)
