## Description

 * Version 1.0.4 fixes a bug related to themes not having post thumbnails enabled.(
   See note below about post thumbnails)
 * Version 1.0.3 fixes a bug related to the onecolumn-page.php error.
 * Version 1.0.2 fixes an activation error that some users were experiencing when
   activating the plugin.
 * Version 1.0.1 fixes the PHP Warning that exists in v. 1.0. Please upgrade as 
   soon as possible.
 * Note – In order to use Ninja Galleries, your theme must have post thumbnails 
   enabled. If you do not, you can still install Ninja Galleries, but there will
   be no functionality.

First off, Ninja Galleries is based upon the excellent Media Tags plugin by Paul
Menard. If you are looking to simply tag your images, then Media Tags is the plugin
you need.
 Because Media Tags 3.0 is the tagging system used by this plugin, we 
strongly recommend that you do not use Media Tags and Ninja Galleries at the same
time. Although we have gone through great lengths to prevent any possible conflicts,
it would be best to use one or the other.

Ninja Galleries is designed to work with the Lighbox Plus plugin (v. 2.2.2). If 
you have this plugin installed, then Ninja Galleries will open all clicked images
in a Lightbox Popup.
 If you do not have this plugin installed, Ninja Announcements
will simply link to the image.

Features:
 *Create image galleries featuring as many images as you would like. *
Once a gallery is created and tags are selected, new tagged images show up automatically.*
Outputs each gallery as a set of

<

dl>

  HTML elements for easy styling.
 *Assign categories to each gallery for easy organization.*
Each gallery has its own url that you can to link from anywhere on your site. *List
your galleries by category using a simple shortcode.

Ninja Galleries uses http://www.yoursite.com/gallery/gallery-name as the url for
gallery pages. This means that you can’t have any custom post types with this url.
Unfortunately, this is
 fairly set in stone at this release. Future versions will
allow a custom url.

There are more screenshots and tutorials for Ninja Galleries at http://plugins.wpninjas.
net.

### Use

There are a few shortcodes included to make linking to your gallery or galleries
easier.
 *If you would like to list all the galleries within a given category: [
wpnj_gal_list cat=”Category1″] *You can list multiple categories by putting in a
comma-separated list: [wpnj_gal_list cat=”Category1,Category2,Category3″] *If you
want to put in a link to a specific gallery (which will use the featured image as
the link): [wpnj_gal_list gallery=”Gallery Name Here”] *If you want to list all 
of the galleries: [wpnj_gal_list]

### Advanced Styling

To get the gallery images to look the way you want, style

<

dl>

  and

  elements.

### Requested Features

*Ability to create a custom url. Currently, the user is restricted to /gallery/,
future versions of Ninja Galleries will correct this.

## Screenshots

 * [[
 * The add/edit gallery view.
 * [[
 * Editing a gallery. Underneath the description you can select any number of media
   tags to pull into this gallery. You can also assign a category and give this 
   gallery a featured image. The featured image will be the gallery thumbnail.
 * [[
 * Editing a picture/media. At the bottom of the page, you can assign media tags
   that exist or create new ones.
 * [[
 * The final product. The images are all inside
 * [[
