JabeHi!
I'm a WordPress beginner and I'm looking for a way to have some gallery (with a plugin?) which content will be automatically generated by images published when writing some post on the blog.
Let me explain...
On top of the blog there would be some "Gallery" link and when clicking on it visitors would have access on several gallery choices (in some external page to the blog with gallery only), for example:
-Pictures
-Drawings
-Portraits
-Caricatures
-Paintings
-Design
-Black & White
-Miscellaneous
etc.
And when publishing some post on the blog containing some image we would have to mention in which gallery we would like to add this image so this image will be visible on the blog (normal mode) but it will also be automatically inserted into the chosen gallery.
A same picture could be inserted into several galleries at the same time (for example into "Pictures" and "Black & white").
It would also be possible to see all images of all galleries and sort them out by chronological order (ascending or descending order) on a single gallery.
And date of pictures could be different than date of their publishing on the blog.
We could also publish images on a gallery without publishing some post on the blog, or publishing some image on the blog without having it on a gallery.
Visitors will be able to add comments on pictures of the blog as usual but also inside the gallery. And in the gallery there will be some link to the post of the blog where the image has been published.
The best would be that those would be Flash galleries, a bit like:
http://www.picsengine.com/
or like it's used here http://grivetart.free.fr/gallerie/index.php
I think it's possible to have a list of pictures to load in a Flash slideshow automatically generated with some xml file but I don't know how to do it by myself.
As a start, the fact of having the ability to publish some picture on a blog and on a dedicated gallery (even without Flash) @ the same time would be already huge!
I found a list of Gallery plugins here:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Photoblogs_and_Galleries#Gallery_Scripts
But I don't want to test them all one after the other in order to maybe not find what I'm looking for, that's why I'm waiting for your help ;-)
I read on French WordPress board that "NextGen Gallery" may do it but it doesn't seem to (or I don't know how to set it up).
Thanks for your answers.
Jabe
PS: I hope you understood as my English isn't @ its best.
