Based on wp 3.0.4 native wp gallery == Other Notes == == Usage == As it is a shortcode: ^ From the admin wp page->Posts/Pages->Add New or Edit, select HTML in the entry form and enter [galleryjb] ^ Attach one or more images to the post or define a PostID attribute which has attachements i.e. [galleryjb postid=123] ^ There are no mandatory attributes: it will show the attached images as a gallery if attachments are present in the current post or in postid, if postid as attribute is defined. ^ Optional attributes are all those you can see in wp 3.0.4 or 3.1 of native gallery plus: ^^ link: besides "file" (= images are linked to imagefile) and the default null string (= images are linked to the attachment's permalink) already present in wp gallery, there is now "null" (images are not clickable/linkable) and "url" (images are linked to external URLs defined in Description). Please note that if you choose link="url"¯, the Description textbox in Media library needs to contain a url (http(s)..etc) and not a textual description. On the other hand, Description is not used by wp native [ gallery ] in any case. ^^ target: boolean. if true linked objects open in a new/the same window, if false (default) in the same window ^^ author: true (default) or false whether you allow this plugin's author footer to be displayed or not (please, say yes). == Examples == [galleryjb link="null"¯] ==> Images are not clickable [galleryjb target="true"¯] ==> Images link to the attachment's permalink and open up in a new page [galleryjb link="url"¯target="true"¯] ==> Images link to external URL defined in the Description textbox (in Media library). These URLs will open up in a new page. [galleryjb link="url"¯] ==> Images link to external urls defined in the Description textbox (in Media library). They will open up in the same page (as default)
