Widget to display your Gallery 2 Image Block on your WordPress sidebar

== Description ==

This plugin will allow you to put one of the meny [Gallery2](http://gallery.menalto.com/) Image Blocks on your WordPress site.  You are required to have a running Gallery2 install to use this plugin.
  
This is a complete rewrite of [Chris Schierer (aka Lentil)](http://www.theschierers.net/blog) [Gallery2 Image Block Plugin](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/gallery2-image-block-widget) 0.1.4.  This rewrite uses the new WordPress 2.8 Widget API, so is only compatable with wordpress 2.8+.
  
All options described in the [Gallery 2 Image Block](http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery2:Modules:imageblock) documentation are included. User configuration of Image Block options are available in the Widget configuration panel.  Blank (empty) options use the Gallery2 defaults.  

As of version 0.5, wp-gallery2-image-block has full localization support, and ships with 5 languages besides English. Please contact me if you would like to translate it into more langages, I would love for as meny peaple as posible to be able to use this plugin.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

You may ask questions or ask for support form the [Gallery2 Image Block Forums](http://mattrude.com/forums/forum/wp-gallery2-image-block).

A: Sorry No, [Gallery2](http://gallery.menalto.com/) is required.

A: Sorry, this plugin will only work in the wiget sidebar.

= Q: Recived "SECURITY VIOLATION The action you attempted is not permitted" error on page load =
A: make sure the Gallery2 plugin "Image Block" is installed and active on your Gallery2 install. You should be able to see the random image by going to: `http://--gallery2url--/main.php?g2_view=imageblock.External` Where –gallery2url– is the value you put in the widget’s URL field. You should
see the random image with the default options.
