Hello,
I have been looking around for a way to recreate the gallery on this page:
http://bit.ly/9SN81
Exactly would be good but I think even just a auto playing slideshow would be fine too. I welcome any suggestions on going about this but my real question is about plugging in to the wordpress gallery feature...
Is it possible to just use the wordpress gallery feature and wrap jquery around it or something like that to create a slideshow from the images and captions already entered into the wordpress post or page?
Maybe it requires a plugin?
Thanks for your help.
Btw... I have given NextGen Gallery a try but my first attempt failed to get the simple slideshow working so I thought I would ask about my idea in the meantime.
With some tweaking, you can configure the WP Gallery to output a simple unordered list. There are many nice javascript based galleries that can automatically generate a slideshow from a list of images. I like Galleria, but there are other options.
I have some examples on my website: http://daltonrooney.com/current-work/wyman-park
You will have to hack your templates, though, I haven't found a plugin that I like for this. Best of luck.
Thanks, I think I am just going to do something manually. Seems the easiest for now. The Gallery Short code needs to be more flexible I think.
The gallery shortcode can't be anymore flexible, at least I can't think of any ways. If you're looking for a way to change it up, check out how it's done in the Cleaner Gallery plugin.
You'll want to filter post_gallery with your own custom function.
Hello greenshady,
This is what I ended up achieving using manual image code and a jquery plugin, whos name escapes me right now, but could this have been achieved using the Gallery Shortcode?

Thanks
Yes, you could do that with the gallery shortcode. Of course, you'd have to write a custom plugin to filter it properly.
If only I were up to that skill level. One day. Thanks
