Gallery 3 – Online photo organizer

Full sized images – disable
By default Gallery 3 re-sizes your uploaded images as defined in your theme settings. All images then link to the “fullsize” original upload.  There is also an icon which links to the full sized image. Many like myself optimize images locally, upload and only want that version available. Here’s how.

Method one:  Deny access to unregistered users, still uses server optimized/resized images.
Album Options -> Permissions -> uncheck “View Full Size” for “Everyone”

Method two: Remove fullsize links, options and display images you’ve optimized in Photoshop or other dedicated pixel management tools.

1. Re-sized image – you no longer need the re-sized image that Gallery auto creates with every upload. This step is not required but will save upload time and disk space.
   Go to: Appearance > Theme Options > Resized image size > set the size to 1.
2. photo.html.php
   – Remove JavaScript and IF statement lines 3 to 26.
   – Replace all code within g-photo DIV with the following – removing all FullSize code and calling your image directly not a resized version from /var/resizes/
   
   <?php defined("SYSPATH") or die("No direct script access.") ?> <div id="g-item"> <?= $theme->photo_top() ?> <div id="g-photo"><img src="<?= $item->file_url() ?>" alt="<?= $item->title ?>" class="g-resize" width="<?= $item->width ?>" height="<?= $item->height ?>" /></div> <div id="g-box" style="width:<?= $item->width ?>px;"> <div id="g-info"> <h3><?= html::purify($item->title) ?></h3> <div><?= nl2br(html::purify($item->description)) ?></div> </div> <?= $theme->paginator() ?> <div id="g-view-menu" class="g-buttonset ui-helper-clearfix"> <? if ($page_subtype == "photo") : ?> <?= $theme->photo_menu() ?> <? endif ?> </div> </div> <?= $theme->photo_bottom() ?> </div>

   <?php defined("SYSPATH") or die("No direct script access.") ?> <div id="g-item"> <?= $theme->photo_top() ?> <div id="g-photo"><img src="<?= $item->file_url() ?>" alt="<?= $item->title ?>" class="g-resize" width="<?= $item->width ?>" height="<?= $item->height ?>" /></div> <div id="g-box" style="width:<?= $item->width ?>px;"> <div id="g-info"> <h3><?= html::purify($item->title) ?></h3> <div><?= nl2br(html::purify($item->description)) ?></div> </div> <?= $theme->paginator() ?> <div id="g-view-menu" class="g-buttonset ui-helper-clearfix"> <? if ($page_subtype == "photo") : ?> <?= $theme->photo_menu() ?> <? endif ?> </div> </div> <?= $theme->photo_bottom() ?> </div>

3. screen.css – set icon display to none on line 840
   
   #g-view-menu .g-fullsize-link {display:none;}
