Zenphoto Gallery allows to use Zenphoto albums in WordPress posts. Other plugins need access to Zenphoto's database and/or require Zenphoto to be installed on the same webserver as WordPress. Not so this one!

Given a JSON frontend to Zenphoto's RSS facilities (included), Zenphoto Gallery pulls the images from both the general images feed and album feeds. That is you can access any Zenphoto install anywhere as long as you get its provider to add one file! Another possibility is to provide album and image file names yourself and let Zenphoto Gallery put together galleries from them; you can access any Zenphoto installation this way.

Zenphoto Gallery provides some humble means to customize gallery layout and behaviour. It also features a shortcode creator that integrates with the standard WordPress image adding dialogue and provides a dynamic preview.

Note that Zenphoto Gallery is written with the intention in mind to show off some images and lure visitors to your Zenphoto site. Newer versions enable you to style most elements of your galleries, though.

Features include:

  • Get images from remote Zenphoto
  • Provides shortcodes for
    • gallery with latest images,
    • album gallery,
    • custom galleries and
    • single images.
  • Restrict number of images in one gallery
  • Show first, last or random images
  • Clip or downscale images to configurable dimensions
  • Variable image link target
  • Variable image title and caption
  • Each gallery is individually configurable
  • Shortcode creation dialog with dynamic preview
  • Extensive styling options

This plugin is tested and runs with

  • WordPress 3.x
