[[trail]] and [[transient]] plugins. The [[meta]] plugin is also
recommended.
+## Demo
+
+* [HTML page of thumbnails](http://ikialbum.hosted.pseudorandom.co.uk/album/)
+ as an entry point to the album
+* Each thumbnail links to
+ [a "viewer" HTML page](http://ikialbum.hosted.pseudorandom.co.uk/album/img_0120/)
+ with a full size image, optional next/previous thumbnail links, and
+ optional [[plugins/comments]]
+
+### Altered Demo
+
+[[!template id=gitbranch branch=cbaines/album]]
+This uses the album plugin, with some altered css, and with the css applied to
+all of the themes.
+
+* [Simple album, rendered using mutiple themes](http://cbaines.net/projects/ikiwiki/album/dest/basic)
+ using the ikiwiki logo.
+
+## Installation
+
+[[!template id=gitbranch branch=smcv/album5 author="[[Simon_McVittie|smcv]]"]]
+
+Available from [[smcv]]'s git repository, in the `album5` branch.
+I've called it `album` to distinguish it from
+[[contrib/gallery|plugins/contrib/gallery]], although `gallery` might well be
+a better name for this functionality.
+
+(The Summer of Code [[plugins/contrib/gallery]] plugin does the
+next/previous UI in Javascript using Lightbox, which means that
+individual photos can't be bookmarked in a meaningful way, and
+the best it can do as a fallback for non-Javascript browsers
+is to provide a direct link to the image.)
+
+Updated, June 2014: integrated changes from [[KathrynAndersen]],
+Lukas Lipavsky and kjs
+
+An `album6` branch is also available, but is less suitable
+for manual installation since it needs core IkiWiki changes
+(until [[bugs/trails depend on everything]] is fixed).
+
+### Manual installation
+
+First, you need a version of ikiwiki with the [[trail]] plugin merged in
+(version 3.20120203 or later).
+
+Manual installation requires these files (use the "raw" link in gitweb
+to download):
+
+* [album.pm](http://git.pseudorandom.co.uk/smcv/ikiwiki.git/blob/album5:/IkiWiki/Plugin/album.pm)
+ in an `IkiWiki/Plugin` subdirectory of your configured `plugindir`
+* [albumviewer.tmpl](http://git.pseudorandom.co.uk/smcv/ikiwiki.git/blob/album5:/templates/albumviewer.tmpl),
+ [albumitem.tmpl](http://git.pseudorandom.co.uk/smcv/ikiwiki.git/blob/album5:/templates/albumitem.tmpl),
+ [albumnext.tmpl](http://git.pseudorandom.co.uk/smcv/ikiwiki.git/blob/album5:/templates/albumnext.tmpl) and
+ [albumprev.tmpl](http://git.pseudorandom.co.uk/smcv/ikiwiki.git/blob/album5:/templates/albumprev.tmpl),
+ in your configured `templatedir`, or a `templates` subdirectory of your wiki repository
+* the album-related bits from the end of the
+ [stylesheet](http://git.pseudorandom.co.uk/smcv/ikiwiki.git/blob/album5:/doc/style.css)
+ (put them in your local.css)
+
## Changing the templates
When a viewer page is generated or inlined into an album, the template can
\[[!inline pages="..." sort="-age" template="albumitem"]]

## Bugs
* There's currently a hard-coded list of extensions that are treated as
* The generated viewer page should extract as much metadata as possible from
the photo's EXIF tags (creation/modification dates, author, title, caption,
- copyright). [[smcv]] has a half-written implementation which runs
- `scanimage` hooks, and has an `exiftool` plugin using [[!cpan Image::ExifTool]]
- as a reference implementation of that hook.

* There should be an option to reduce the size of photos and write them into
an underlay (perhaps just the transient underlay), for this workflow:
