• I would like to use a wp Page as a gallery with other pages as details of images. I would also like to exclude these pages from the sidebar but include other pages… Any Ideas?

    Right now I have a flash gallery but I would like to include much more information about each piece of work and more than one image of each.

    Is there a way of linking to those individual pages off the gallery page through thumbnails as well? I am hoping to create a master gallery page with the detail pages as wp-pages…

    I hope this makes some sence…

    Thanks for any ideas you might have….

    Thats what everyopne has said but I’m not yet convinced that is the best solution… Any other ideas?

    Thank you by the way for replying….

    Out of curiosity, why not? It matches the stuff you asked for…is there something else we’re missing? Why is it that you don’t think it’s “the best solution”?

    I’m not trying to be annoying here, but if many people have told you this, then there must be something else that you want to have but haven’t said. If you don’t tell us, then there won’t be many more suggestions for you. There are other Gallery plugins, but Gallery 2 does it all, and very well. SO I guess if you said why you don’t want to use it would make it easier to come up with other options.

    I guess I am looking for a little bit more than just a photo gallery… I may be mistaken about what Gallery2 can do. I gusee in the end I am really looking for a way of using pages I design as a gallery… Much like this page

    http://olsonimages.com/a-little-more-about-me/

    except with a few more images and only a little text… I dont really need the images to expand. I guess what I am really looking for is how to limit the pages found when this string is run…

    <ul class=”counts”><?php wp_list_pages(‘title_li=’ . __(”)); ?>

    woohoo! I tried to put a limit property in it but that really didn’t work so well… It kinda destroyed it!

    Is this about a gallery or a site map? As for making a simple gallery, WP can do that easily. You can upload your pics in the write screen, and then just modify the code to what you need. For example, set up classes in your CSS file called something like alignleft and alignright. When you upload the image, add this to the code for the img: class=”foo”. Then add any text you may want on there, and repeat until you have your gallery.

    Jonlandrum That is exactly what I plan on doing. I plan on using many pages to show detail views but I dont want those pages showing up when I call for pages in the side bar.. Know how to limit that?

    This post is absolutely still about galleries. I am just thinking about a different way of going about it…

    but I dont want those pages showing up when I call for pages in the side bar.. Know how to limit that?

    Yeah, you can do that, actually.

    You can place the pages as a subcategory – so for instance, if you have “Galleries” and only what *that* to show up, but nothing else; then you have – as a subcategory – “Met”, “Smithsonian” – then *those* links can show up in your sidebar *only* when someone has gone to the “Galleries” page.

    Look for the “Fold Page List” plugin.

    Also, if you just want to leave out certain pages *period*, you can exclude within the page links:

    <ul>
    <?php wp_list_pages('exclude=17,38' ); ?>
    </ul>

    Will exclude Pages with the ID of 17 and 38. They’ll never show up in the nav list. (Remember, they *have* to be in order, too!)
