Support » Plugins » Fotolog as a sidebar

  • Hello everyone!
    I’d like to make a sidebar on my blog with some pictures. I know that with the various plugins around I can post pictures, showing them on my posts. But I’d rather only display them on a sidebar, a-la links, or like I display the Archives (of course, if one could click on them to get them displayed it would be great).
    Is that possible? Or would I have to create another blog and have its recent posts displayed on this sidebar?
    Anyone could offer me a tipd on how to do the trick?
    Yours,
    Francis

  • I think you can accomplish this with something like Coppermine gallery and I forget the name at the moment but there’s a plugin on here that integrates WP and Coppermine. I got it all to work, but I still need to “skin” my Coppermine pages, and I’m not quite sure how to get the default listing of images (from the plugin) to create a table going from top to bottom instead of left to right.
    I’m pretty sure that’s how you would tackle it though.

    Thanks T Mo!
    I guess that’s the way I’ll go – I wonder if there was a more simple solution. Oh, well, better this than nothing… 😉
    Thanks!

    It also seemed that with Coppermine I can’t post pics by e-mail – I hope there’s a hack that allows me to do so.

    I managed this with just wordpress. I used the show/hides plugin to exclude a single category from the main posting area and then displayed the excluded category in the sidebar. I used Exhibit for the image work. You can see the results here. Its not 100% beacause its a test site and the comments link back to a different template.

    Ian, it’s just perfect!!!! Congratulations for your site!
    How can I display a different category on the side bar? That’s now the only piece I miss to make this works! But your solution is the best one, because I can post via e-mail and stuff. Great!

    I didn’t fnd the show/hide plugin! Where is it? I mean, is it the visibility under category, or is it a plugin I must install? I’ve searched for it at the wiki and found nothing.
