Instant Photo Gallery

To use the included photo gallery templates and views you need to first add photologue to your projects urls.py file.

# urls.py:
urlpatterns += patterns('',
    url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
    url(r'^photologue/', include('photologue.urls')),
)

Once your urls are configured you need to copy the directory photologue/templates/photologue to your projects "templates" directory:

myproject/
    myapp/
        ...
    templates/
        photologue/
            ...

If you'd rather, you can also add the absolute path to the photologue/templates directory to your TEMPLATE_DIRS setting.

# settings.py:
TEMPLATE_DIRS = ('/path/to/photologue/templates',)
