Folder Slideshow 0.9 released

Today I’ve released the first pre-version of my new WordPress plugin Folder Slideshow.

it displays a simple slideshow from a folder of pictures (uploaded by FTP) without the need to upload the pictures to WordPress Media Manager.

This plugin uses Slides JS 1.1.0 by Nathan Searles - http://www.slidesjs.com

Here’s a sample (using the code [folderslideshow folder="wp-content/photos" padding=5 border=2 effect=slide])

Folder Gallery 0.97

Yesterday, I’ve released version 0.97 of Folder Gallery. The main changes are related to the lightbox JS engine.

You can now choose between Lightbox 2 and Fancybox 2 to display your gallery. A third option (already available in 0.95) is to use Lightview 3. But you have to install Lightview by hand (see readme).

A last option (“None”) removes all lightbox script from the galleries generated by Folder Gallery. That way, you can use another plug-in to display the gallery pictures. This works with many lightbox plugin including Fancybox 1.0.7+ by Kevin Sylvestre, jQuery Colorbox 4.5+ by Arne Franken, Lightview Plus 3.1.3+ by Puzich.

You can get Folder Gallery at wordpress.org.

Enjoy !

Folder Gallery Plugin

For a long time, I was looking for a simple plugin for WordPress to create a photo gallery from a folder of pictures using short code, without the need to upload each photo using the media manager.

Yootheme had such a plugin for Joomla 1.5 but it seems the new WidgetKit doesn’t allow the use of shortcode anymore.

Since no plugin fulfils my needs, I decided to develop my own : Folder Gallery.
