Usage

There are three ways to use the DM Photo Albums Plugin in a blog post:

1. Photo Album Prefix.

   When using the photo album prefix (as defined below) followed by a link to the DM Albums™ Application (as defined below) in a blog post, the prefix and link will be replaced by the DM Photo Album.

   Example: Photo Album: Demo Photo Album

   Example Code: Photo Album: <a href="{album url}">Demo Photo Album</a>

2. [album:] Syntax.

   Simply type [album: {album url}] in your blog post and the photo album will be inserted into the post at that point. This will usually be the direct URL to your photos, or to one of the photos in your album:

   [album: http://yourdomain.com/path/to/albums/]

   It may also be the URL to your photo album including the Album Application (as specified in the DM Albums™ admin panel) plus the currdir parameter:

   [album: http://yourdomain.com/path/to/album/application.php?currdir={path}]

3. [album:] Syntax with parameters (for advanced users).

   DM Albums™ uses defaults you set up to control how each album looks. However, you can customize the look of any DM Albums™ by using parameters. When using the [album:] syntax, pass the parameters using a pipe-delimited name=value list. Simply type

   [album: {album url}|width={width}|height={height}|etc...]

   in your blog post and the photo album will be inserted into the post at that point using the parameters you specified.
