Yeah, ok, it’s another lightbox gallery plugin! But this one uses Christophe Beyl’s Slimbox – an ultra-lightweight implementation. If size really does matter, this one’s for you.
Display images by category and/or ID; either specified in the plugin options or deferred to one of the custom fields (or the article ID) so you can make article-based galleries. Negation of categories and IDs is supported (i.e. show me all images except the ones in the blah category/section, or all images except image id X).
Display customised caption/alt text with the thumbnails, group the images, add headers, sort them, split them into navigable pages and style it all with copious dollops of CSS. Also now localisable using MLP.
Requires smd_lib

Thank you, this plugin is great!
Stef, thank you for this plugin! Works a charm, and looks great too!
Fantasic! Thanks!
I have it set up and it’s wonderful, but it lacks image resize. My very wide panoramas can’t take full advantage of user monitor’s width and I don’t want to make them small.. What to do?
Kestas: Image resize is not part of the plugin because it is handled by Christophe Beyl’s Slimbox code instead. The plugin just generates the thumbnails, then hands off displaying the images to his code.
I believe image resizing has been requested in his forum before; I’m not sure if a satisfactory answer has been found yet, sorry. Try there and see how you get on. And if you find an answer, please post it on the smd_slimbox forum thread, thanks!
Excellent plugin
Thanks

Code not working. :(
Great plugin, thanks!
Thank you Stef!
I’ve just returned back to have a copy of a plug-in, it’s been 3 years since I tested it first time. It worked then, it works now.
cheers!
I realize I just posted a comment in the smd_gallery plugin, thinking I was using it. In fact, this is the plugin I’m using =) I’m having some trouble..
Each article within a certain section (using this gallery-article form I made) should have a gallery of it’s own. It should only show images related somehow to this specific article. Im sure it’s not a trouble for the plugin to pull these images out, but how would it work with the rest of textpattern?
Would I need the content managers to create a certain image category for each article they create? I’d like them to just upload images ‘to’ an article somehow, and show them in in the article.
I’m considering the category=“article-?id” thing, but can’t really make out how it works. Then I’m required to have a category named article-12 right? Thus creating that category for every article?
How would this plugin be practically used in normal cases?
