I have been playing  with Gallery (Gallery 3 to be exact) software since I moved to the new host. I am not sure I will leave it installed but it’s interesting to play with. For now you can visit it here macblaze.ca/gallery.

At this point, I have a public album and a private one. If you want to see the private one you have to sign in:
User: test
Password: album

This mean I could set up private albums and control the permissions via viewing. There are also supposed to be shopping basket modules and ecommerce integrations which I will be playing with next. It will also automatically watermark the images for me.

One of the things I am supposed to be able to do is integrate images from the gallery into my WP posts. See the example below:

Smooth Gallery

Doesn’t work at all

[hgallery3 id=”4,6″ render=”smoothgallery”]

Jcarousel

[hgallery3 id=”3″ render=”jcarousel”]

Seems to skip all over the place

Dir Table

I can make this work.

[hgallery3 id=”14,16″ render=”dir_table”]

Single Image

Why?

[hgallery3 id=”14″ render=”single_img”]

Dir

Again, why?

[hgallery3 id=”4,14,16″ render=”dir”]
