Folder Gallery

This plugin creates picture galleries from a folder. The pictures folder must be uploaded (using FTP) somewhere on the server (e.g. wp-content/upload). It must be writable (chmod 777). Folder Gallery Plugin does not include any lightbox JS engine anymore. You have to install one or use a compatible lightbox plugin. See FAQ. To include a gallery in a post or a page, you have to use the following shortcode : [foldergallery folder="local_path_to_folder" title="Gallery title"] For each gallery, a subfolder cache_[width]x[height] is created inside the pictures folder when the page is accessed for the first time. An Options page allow to set the default paramaters of the galleries : * Lightbox JS Engine: Lightbox 2 (if installed), Fancybox 2 (if installed), Fancybox 3 (if installed), Lightview 3 (if installed), Easy Fancybox Plugin (if available), Responsive Lightbox Plugin (if available) or none (default) * Display Thumbnails (thumbnails): all = standard Gallery, single = displays a single thumbnail linked to the lightbox gallery, none = displays a link to the lightbox gallery * Sort pictures by (sort) : pictures are sorted by filename (filename) or in reverse order (filename_desc) or by modification date (date or date_desc) or randomly (random) * Number of images per row (columns) * Thumbnails width and height (width & height) * Picture border (border) * Padding and Margin (padding & margin) * Caption Format (caption): default (title + picture number), filename, filenamewithoutextension, smartfilename (filename with underscores and front numbers removed), modificationdate, modificationdateandtime, modificationdater (RFC 2822), modificationdatec (ISO 8601), none * Show Thumbnail Captions (show_thumbnail_captions): yes (true) or no (false).
