Automatic Image Gallery Creation (like wordpress.com, Posterous)

    Hi all,

    I’m setting up a private wordpress blog where email will be the main means of posting entries. I’m using Postie to handle this, and for text and one or two images it’s working great so far.

    However, I’d really like for multiple images that are attached to an incoming email to be automatically converted into a gallery – just like Posterous behaves (and I believe wordpress.com too). For various reasons I’m not interested in using either of those options. I’d really like to use self-hosted wordpress.

    Are there any plugins I can use to do this? How does wordpress.com do it? I’ve done a bunch of research on wordpress gallery plugins and none of them will do this automatically. Any recommendations?

    Many thanks!

    Zeke

    Looking for similar, one of two options:
    1) automatically add images from server to posts galleries
    2) create empty posts with images attached in the Image Gallery for each image uploaded to a server.

    So far I haven’t found a perfectly fitting solution.
    However, one plugin, Add Linked Images To Gallery seems very promising, and you will probably be able to use it.

    Just tried Cache Images plugin, and it works ‘out of the box’.
    The only downside for me is that I actually don’t need to save images locally, they are already on my server.
    Try it and let us know if it works for you, too.
