Auto Photo Albums – jQuery Multi Level Image Grid Gallery

STOP ADDING YOUR IMAGES MANUALLY IN YOUR PAGE!

This is a plugin that scans a folder in your server containing images and folders.
The plugin will make a grid responsive gallery taking the folders as albums.

Put the plugin in your page once and then no more coding, you only need to take care of organizing your images in folders and if you want adding thumbnails.

There is no limit so you can keep creating folders/albums of images inside a folder inside a folder inside a folder and the plugin will read them all creating a breadcrumb at the top so you can navigate back.

This is an example of a directory that the plugin can read (as you can see you can organize your images in any way you want and the plugin will read your directory automatically):

Important: this plugin needs PHP in order to work!

Important Announcement!

I have made a PHP script that automatically generate the thumbnails for you, so you don’t have to build them with photoshop or something! you can download it here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/j7nbjqv4avl2tw5/thumbmaker.zip give it a try! it is totally free (support is not included)
