Finding the right gallery solution

  • I’ve been looking all over the place for a plugin to display the gallery images belonging to a post in a simple 1 row horizontal thumbnail strip. The plugins I find seem to do lots of things I don’t need/want, and I can’t find one that does what I’m looking for out of the box.

    I wonder if anyone can point me to a good plugin or other solution to do what I want. Here are my goals:

    – Use the standard image attachments, modifying the [gallery] tag (so no NextGEN type of separate image management)
    – Display them a single row of image thumbnails.
    – Hide any thumbs falling outside the container, with next / previous buttons to slide/move to the others.
    – Clicking on a thumb opens the full images in a lightbox style layover.
    – Preferably jQuery based.

    I don’t mind modifying something, but I’m not naturally a web developer and I don’t know what plugin would be worth hacking.

    Any suggestions?

    I found that the Cleaner Gallery plugin does most of what I need, and is indeed simple and clean:)

    Now I only need to figure out how to make the thumbs into a nice sliding horizontal strip. I guess that’s more of a jQuery thing than WordPress related. Suggestions are welcome of course.
