This plugin provides two features, a gallery shortcode and a widget, which slide-show the images and webpages from the list that you define, as may be seen on demo pages demo 1 and demo 2. The list consists of URLs that point to images or web pages, residing either on your blog website or on some other web server on the internet. You can include one or more directories from your web server into the list, and all images and html/php files from the directories will participate in the slide show.
So you can display galleries on your posts and pages, but also in the widget areas of your blog. The galleries can display images and/or web pages.
Features
- Gallery shortcode with a large set of options, to be included in posts and pages
- Gallery widget
- Both pictures and web pages can be displayed in the gallery
- Multiple galleries can be set up on the same page/post, with different content and options
- Multiple widgets can be set up, with different content and options
- Gallery content can be post/page/tag/category/date/time… specific
- Each image from the directory can have custom title and link
- User-friendly links setup screen
- Export and import of the links list in TSV format
- Links list can be processed in external applications (OpenOffice Calc, LibreOffice Calc, Excel…) and imported into your site
- Various animations for switching between gallery items
- [premium feature] Gallery frame, preset or user defined
Each item in the list (picture, web page, directory) can be set up to appear on a specific page or post, designated by a slug, tag or category, or at specific date, day, hour, so your galleries can display different content each time the visitors come back to your site. These features can be used to set up a scheduled content to appear when certain conditions are met. For example, a restaurant can have a large slide show with today’s menu on the front page, and the menus for the next two days displayed as two separate widgets in the widget area (as shown in the example and tutorial here).
The animation used for transition between the pictures/webpages can be chosen from a predefined set, as shown in the animations demo page.
Demo and tutorial pages
- Various animations
- Restaurant menu demo and tutorial
- 5 minute setup
- Detailed URL list setup description
URL list setup
Links to pictures and/or web pages, that you want to display in your galleries, are specified in the URL list setup page. It is located in the WordPress dashboard under Settings / Galdget. The list setup is described on URL list setup page.
Default URL list
During plugin installation the initial URL list is provided as a sample, in order to facilitate first setup and run. It contains two links that point to the following web pages:
- https://plugins.unforget.rs/galdget, the web page of Galdget plugin, where documentation and tutorials can be found.
- https://www.topirot.com, the web page displaying a small city and surrounding landscapes.
Normally, you will delete these links and put your own in the list, but if you want to run a gallery out of the box first, all you need to do is put the “Galdget” widget in one of your blog’s sidebars and visit your blog, you will see a gallery with these two sites.
Once you put your URLs in the list, instead of the two above, they will not appear again.
