All in One Gallery

Description

Display and browse all the images on your wordpress website in one place using the [gallery] shortcode.

I wanted to have all the pictures that have been uploaded on my website to be displayed and browsable in one place, without having to create my own gallery logic. So the plugin is simply looking at all the categories and pages, then check if there are images in all the category’s posts (or pages) and, if there are, use the [ gallery ] shortcode to display the images.

The plugin should work and fit with every themes as it’s using the original wordpress gallery markup. Every themes normally have style this feature as you use the gallery shortcode in pages or posts.

There is a ‘exclude images’ features that let you select images that should be display in the Gallery page. But do to a wordpress bug in 2.9.1 with the include/exclude feature, this feature as been disable. It’s shame as the feature is pretty cool and easy to use. Maybe with the 2.9.2.

All-in-One-Gallery plugin work with the new [ gallery ] shortcode and therefor will only work with wordpress version older then 2.5. Also, I created this plugin for Anna Chocola and myself, you can try it on my website by clicking Image Gallery in the sidebar or on Anna Chocola’s website by also clicking on Image Gallery in the sidebar.

I use it with 2 other plugins: cleaner-gallery that is just a plugin that clean the wordpress gallery XHTML, works exactly the same way but with cleaner XHTML. And light-box-2 that does the lightbox effect/system. But you don’t have to.

A massive thanks to Karl Rixon aka the php Oracle for the pagination function and teaching me php.

FEATURES:

  1. Pagination and number of posts per page
  2. Fit into your theme as it’s using the same gallery that you use in pages or posts.
  3. Five style for the gallery menu (blue, green, grey, pink) plus a ‘no style’ to let you manage it yourself.
  4. Possibility to exlude categories without images.

FAQ

Please tell me if something isn’t working or if you have suggestions. Some people requested some features trough my website, like pagination, exlude images or don’t display categories without images and they did end up being implemented in the version 2.1. So any comments are welcomed.

The [ gallery ] shortcode only works with images you have uploaded with wordpress (starting with version 2.6 maybe 2.5). So if the gallery doesn’t display images from older posts the problem seems to come from wordpress.

Adding your Own Style:

There is two way to do this, the easiest and recommended way is to use the ‘no style’ option and manage that in your main stylesheet. If for some reason you don’t want to do this:
1. Copy one of the folder in the themes folder ( plugins->all-in-one-gallery->all_in_one_gallery_themes )
2. Rename the folder and rename the css file inside with exactly the same name. ex: If the folder name is ‘my-design-is-better’, the css file name has to be ‘my-design-is-better.css’
3. Edit the css file like you want to.
4. Upload your folder on your website in plugins->all-in-one-gallery->themes
5. Go to Pages->All in One Gallery in your Dashboard and select your design from the the dropdown menu.
note: the style in the themes folder only affect the ‘all in one gallery’ menu, the [gallery] design is up to your website Theme.
warning: make a copy of your style before updating the plugin
