Hi All
May be this is a n00b question, but I've tried to search a lot before post here.
I'm looking for a plug-in that allow me to create a gallery of images I've posted on my blog.
For Example.
I have ten images to insert in my post. Instead to put them all inside the post, I'd like that each image will be display inside one page.
I've seen it in a lot of blogs (not using S9y) and I've tried to use the plug-in available from the excellent s9y community, but no one seems to work for what I need.

Let me give you an example, in case I did not explain me what I'm looking for.

Today (all images included in the post):
[url]http://www.100ambiente.it/index.php?/ar ... ecie..html[/url]

Tomorrow (one image per page)
[url]http://www.autoblog.it/post/18063/aston ... e-immagini[/url]
(at the end of the post there are 3 thumbimages: the reader click on it and see the first photo, then click on "Foto precedente - Previews Photo" or "Foto Successiva - Next Photo")

Any kind of solution?
Please help. Thanks in advance

Hi!

Yes, the s9y gallery plugins are created so that the galleries are on their own pages, not within the posting.

To create a picture list, the only s9y plugin I currently know of would be serendipity_event_imageselectorplus ("Extended options for images"). However, it's usage requires some manual work.

You need to enter a code like this into your entry:

Code: Select all

<mediainsert>
<gallery name="MyHolidays/" />
<media type="gallery" />
</mediainsert>

This would show clickable thumbnail previews of all files uploaded to your mediadatabase inside the folder "MyHolidays" (/uploads/MyHolidays).

Another variant that you could use would be a flash gallery. This is the way I personally go with, I use Simpleviewer. The basic process is also described here: http://www.amoswong.com/how-to-integrat ... press.html

It's for Wordpress, but you don't require any of the actual wordpress plugins. You simply create the XML data for your gallery to use in your post, and then embed the Flash HTML code yourself:

Code: Select all

<script type="text/javascript">
	// <![CDATA[

	var flashObject = new FlashObject("http://www.yoourhomapge.com/viewer.swf","fm_viewer","480","900","6","#FFFFFF","","best","","");
	flashObject.addVariable("xmlDataPath","http://www.yourhomepage.com/gallery/imageData.xml");
	flashObject.write("fo_targ_viewer");

	// ]]>
</script>

HTH,
Garvin
