The UnGallery Extension
-
Hi folks,
I ported a gallery application to WordPress. It’s called UnGallery since the goal is for it to stay out of the way.
It embeds a directory tree of photos as a gallery within WordPress. There is no adding each jpeg via a WP admin page or storing files to the WP database. Once configured, the extension just reads the photo directory tree. Updates are picked automatically within WordPress.
The files are on github: https://github.com/mmond/ungallery/tree/master
An example installation is available on my site: https://markpreynolds.com/gallery
A few more details:
* Unlimited depth, breadth, and number of photos in library. Mine has approx 6,000.
* Photo library is managed outside of WordPress, simply update via FTP, SCP, etc. Un Gallery sees changes immediately.
* Set optional banner captions
* Hidden, private galleries
* Thumbnail cache files are added to photo directory for faster page loads
* Support for png, jpg, bmp, mov, avi, mp3, mp4This script is still beta. Feel free to use it, extend it or contact me with questions.
Much of the script is taken from other published sources and noted inline.Thanks for all the support efforts on this site.
