Is there a Wordpress Gallery Plugin similar to this Joomla plugin?

    Here is the "Simple Image Gallery" plugin at the Compaq CQ60 image gallery. It uses a plugin by JoomlaWorks where you just place a code in the body of an article text leading to the images on the back-end and it automatically generates the thumbnails with lightbox pop-up effect for the full size image. Sample code that goes into the article text {gallery}gallery/pictures/computer{/gallery}

    I would like to find a Wordpress plugin that does the same thing. Most Wordpress folks with large image gallerias just link to Coppermine Photo Gallery but I'd like to keep the gallery within Wordpress so it'll be indexed and tagged.

    This isn't "simple" but its easy to use and it should do the trick you're looking for.

    I use it here: notagrouch.com -- check out the "kern river camping" post with pictures. This is powered by Nextgen Gallery. Very easy to use and manage, you can also use templates and tweak the layout for your galleries exactly how you want it.

    To post a gallery on a post or a page you use shortcodes like this:

    [ngg gallery=X] -- or something to that effect.

    Nice, I hadn't seen this before. And you can't really go wrong with a JT plugin. If you're using Thematic or any of its child themes, this gallery plugin may be the best option.

    @abercrombie

    Thanks I did it. Now I just have to come up with more interesting posts.
