# Image Gallery Plugin

 * [15 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-gallery-plugin-3/)
 * So I’ve tested out NextGen, Smooth Slider and a few other plugins but I am really
   not happy with them. NextGen uses Flash and the JWPlayer which I do not like 
   at all.
 * All I want to be able to do is have our clients manage each image for each individual
   page. Something super EASY to use and with a very basic “FADE” script that goes
   from one image to another.
 * The company I work for is willing to pay for a premium plugin if we need to do
   that as well. I’m just tired of going with plugins that either do WAY TOO MUCH
   or incorporate FLASH.
 * Currently I have a basic PHP script in place:
 *     ```
       <?php if (is_front_page()) /* Is this the front page? */ { ?>
   
       <div id="slideshow" style="background:url(/wp-content/uploads/gallery/main/BC3769-flash.jpg) no-repeat;">
       <?php
       // images dir
   
       $path = "wp-content/uploads/gallery/main";
       $dh = opendir($path);
       while ($file = readdir($dh))
       if($file != "." && $file != ".." && $file != "Thumbs.db" && $file != "index.html" && $file != "index.php"      ) {
       {
           echo"<img border='0' src='/$path/$file' \";    >
           ";
       }
       }
       closedir($dh); // close dir
       ?>
       ```
   
 * For other pages I have the same thing setup but changed the “slug” name:
 *     ```
       <?php } elseif (is_page('boulder-photos')) { ?>
   
       <div id="slideshow" style="background:url(/wp-content/uploads/gallery/boulder-photos/mtns.jpeg);">
       <?php
       // images dir
   
       $path = "wp-content/uploads/gallery/boulder-photos";
       $dh = opendir($path);
       while ($file = readdir($dh))
       if($file != "." && $file != ".." && $file != "Thumbs.db" && $file != "index.html" && $file != "index.php"      ) {
       {
           echo"<img border='0' src='/$path/$file' \";    >
           ";
       }
       }
       closedir($dh); // close dir
       ?>
       ```
   
 * I am using that in correlation with “Custom Upload Dir” plugin which allowed 
   me to set the upload directory based on the “slug” of the page. Yeah I know, 
   not the perfect setup, but the PHP above is pulling those images into the jQuery
   for the FADING to each image stuff to work. I would LOVE a plugin to do this.
   This system isn’t perfect but the best way I could get this done without one 
   of those buggy plugins.
 * Anyway if anyone has any better ideas, I’m sure you do :), then let me hear em!!
 * Thanks as always,
 * Mark
