WordPress is a new Gallery plugin called NextGEN Gallery
My last and hopefully best plugin for WordPress is a new Gallery plugin called NextGEN Gallery . It’s named als “NextGeneration” according to the the development of the game consoles . More over it should indicate that I (try) to use all new possibilities of the great jQuery and the so called Web 2.0. Before I start writing the plugin I study all image and gallery plugins for WordPress, I figure out that some of them are really good and well designed, but I missed a simple and easy administration back end to handle multiple galleries.
Demonstration / Example pages
Here are some examples of a integration into a running WordPress blog. I’m not responsible for the content, but you can see the NextGEN Gallery plugin live in action. Send me your link if you would like to show your integration of the plugin.
At the moment I’m not sure if all my ideas comes reality, but I have a lot of fun in the work for now. It’s fantastic how the jQuery and the WordPress community creates daily new plugins and ideas and I hope I can integrate at lot of this stuff in the future.
Installation of this plugin
Unpack the zip file and upload the content into the folder wp-content/plugins/nggallery (the WordPress plugins folder). Note : Do not change the folder names.
For the slideshow you need also the free (for personal use) JW Image Rotator from Jeroen Wijering. Download the player from the website and upload it (only imagerotator.swf) also into the NextGEN gallery folder. Now you can activate the plugin.
