To build a website gallery

Greetings,

1. Any suggestion how to build a website gallery using wordpress/ scripts/ other cms etc

2. Anyone able to say which theme is used for html5mania(.com)? I prefer wordpress, anyone can point me to themes suitable for website gallery?

Thanks

 

I would suggest looking at the Shadowbox-JS plugin. It automatically adds the script needed to your images and you can use the basic gallery shortcode in your pages.

 

Thanks Dodger. I am trying to do something like html5mania(.com). Images will not open however click on a image would go to the respective website.

 

Nextgen gallery is also a good plugin for wordpress website

 

Ah, I see. In that case, you can create a category for your links section to hold all of the data you need (Page Title, Page Url, Image Source) then create a custom home.php (or any other custom page-xxxx.php file) then cycle through those links using wp_list_bookmarks().

And ShadowBox-JS handles iFrames as well, and you may be able to get those links to open that way rather than leaving the site.

 

This is a very helpful post, I hope this really helps me to complete my project.

 

You could use Pligg CMS (I am familiar with Pligg), I could help you with that, my friend

 

I use jquery galleryview and added php pagination with a seed to show random items.

If you don't know enough about coding and want quick and easy, do it with wordpress and a gallery plugin.

Another easy way, albeit VERY basic (static and not dynamic pages) is to export the gallery via Photoshop and let it build the pages for you.

 

i often use jquery for create a gallery, it had a lot of custom style gallery.
you just need to copy .js & add .css to your site,
and create 1 custom .php for handling the gallery.

if you still have a problem, don't hesitate to contact me,
i'll help you friend

 

I also do not quite understand but I want to learn in this thread!

if you are using wordpress, you can use nextgen, it's very easy to install and use

 

I am not using any gallery plugin just using inbuilt functionality from the theme. Working good now. Thanks

Thanks CSM, I couldn't use Pligg for this project, website is done. However I will be taking a look at pligg on my localhost, I will give you shout on your PM inbox if I need a help.
