Loading pictures from a folder into post?

  • Hi, i recently converted from joomla to wordpress.
    WP works great for me and is not overloaded! But there is one thing i miss in WP.

    A simple “gallery” plugin that searches the posts for a “code” like {gallery}yourpicturefoldernstuff{/gallery} and then loads the pictures from that folder.

    The Joomla bot was called “Simple Picture Gallery Plugin for content items” There is a free and a “pro” version.

    well i already tried to rewrite the code but i’m not really good in php and i cant even load the plugin ?? so maybe someone out there can do that? or help me doing it?

    Here you can find a Demo if you look at the .php file it aint much work, but i think the problem are those paths n stuff and database readout! well for me it is…

    thanks in advance!

    someone maybe?

    look through the plugin’s there are several for photo blog’s. normally all your uploads (images, songs, movies…)need to go into the wp-content/uploads folder.

    My AWSOM Pixgallery plugin does something like this. Check it out and download it from my development website Awsom.org

    hi and sry for my late reply.

    your awsom pixgallery works great for me! its exactly what i wanted!

    one thing i need to know…

    is it possible to add two galleries into one post?

    when i try to do that it always show only the first!

    If you mean you want to show 2 groups of thumbnails, one above the other, then no, that’s not currently able to be done (so, adding 2 <pixgallery></pixgallery> code snippets won’t show 2 groups of thumbnails)

    You CAN have multiple folders though, each one containing thumbnails of images. So on the main page would be 2 or more folder links that then go to each thumbnail gallery for each folder. To do this create a master folder for your images, then place a sub folder for each separate thumbnail gallery in this main folder, but have the <pixgallery> code refer to the main folder. You can see this in action on https://www.onezumiverse.com in her Art gallery. This is on a page, but it could be done in a post also.

    ah ok,
    well i tried it like this:
    a post including:

    “TEXT”
    <pixgallery>/myfirstmainfolder/subfolderone/</pixgallery>
    “TEXT”
    <pixgallery>/myfirstmainfolder/subfoldertwo/</pixgallery>
    that didn’t work.

    So your explaination means if i have a mainfolder called “flowers”
    including subfolders called “red” and “blue” including red and blue colored flower pictures.

    and i’ll link to the main flower folder it’ll show me 2 thumbnailed “folders”?
    and when i click one of them it brings me to the subfolder showing all pictures as thumbs? i’ll give that a try!

    btw awesome gallery ??

    Works exactly as you said.
