autogallery setup

I read the instructions and it looks like you have to set up a directory for each article/post in which you want the image to be displayed. Plus you need to edit the plugin file and change the settings variables $usehostname, $image_root, $thumbnail_prefix, and $allowed_files. Once these are all set, you need to put the tag <!–gallery–> in your Post.

I hope this helps. This seems a little bit complicated for me, although it may not be for you.

variable settings should be ok altough i am not sure what the image_root should be. at the mom my dir looks like this: public_html/wordpress/images. Images is the folder i created to put all my images in. also i am not sure where to put the directory for each article/post as you mentioned.

Look at the php file and readme to get additional information. That’s what I read. From what it says, the post directory should be under the images directory.

so this is how i made my settings:
as i said my images folder is in public_html/wordpress/images.
did i set the image_root correctly in the php file? thanks

$usehostname = “yes”; // If You want to use the hostname in image-URLs set to yes.
$image_root = “/images/”; // Set this to Your image-root.
$thumbnail_prefix = “^(150|thumbs|thumb)\-“; // Your thumbnail-prefixes as “regexp”
$allowed_files = “(jpg|png|gif)”; // Allowed files as “regexp”.

I have made a post in this address:
https://home.um.edu.mt/chaplaincy/wordpress/?p=21

Then went into public_html/wordpress/images/21 and inserted images there, however still nothing appears in the post :S

I didn’t see the <!–gallery–> tag in your post. Did you add it?

well i added it when i made my post somehow its not showing up in the source of the page though :S am i doing something wrong here?

As I said before, this does not appear to be easy. I think it is easier to use the WP Admin-Upload option. It puts the file in imagese directory and then displays a link for you to copy and paste into the Post. This seems easier to me. Why did you want autogallery in the first place?

i just wanted to add a photogallery option to my website, with different albums each containing a number of images. are there any better solutions? thanks
