Django Photologue Tutorial

Question

I have a hard time understanding how photologue works exactly. Is anybody aware of a Example Project Tutorial where I can display a gallery via Django-Photologue. Where Imagelinks are stored in a database?

Or how can I achieve that in Django? Or what else is out there to create a decent Photo Display?

Thanks for the time!

Answer 1

Here is an example project by the author of photologue:

Answer 2

The best way to get started with photologue is to start a new django project, and follow the installation instructions. Then, load up the django admin and start adding photos and creating galleries. You should be able to get a good understanding of Photologue that way.

Photologue is based around the concept of having gallerys of images with different photo sizes and effects. It's great if you want to show a gallery of images. If you are looking to intergrate images into your own apps, you might find ImageKit much more useful. I think it's based on Photologue, but instead of giving you automated photo galleries it provides hooks that you can use to do manage photos programmatically.
