PhotoJAR
PhotoJAR is a suite of Wordpress plugins enhancing the existing gallery functionality introduced in Wordpress 2.5. Prior to Wordpress 2.5 I had nearly completed a full-featured gallery plugin with (nearly) seamless integration into the WP backend. With the release of WP 2.5 I have redirected my efforts to making the existing Wordpress gallery system more usable. The following plugins are available or coming soon.
PhotoJAR
PhotoJAR: Base provides the groundwork and shared code for other PhotoJAR plugins. Additionally, PhotoJAR: Base provides a number of enhancements to Wordpress gallery functionality:
- Dynamically resizes thumbnails - changes to image sizes apply retroactively
- Allows custom image sizes (beyond “thumbnail” and “medium”)
- Caches resized images
- Integrates with LightBox, ThickBox, LightView, and many more javascript image viewers
- Provides an
[image]shortcode - Can change the default number of columns in a gallery
Downloads and additional details…
PhotoJAR
PhotoJAR: Post Thumbnailer displays a single thumbnail with each blog post containing a gallery. The gallery will display normally when viewed singly. If a javascript viewer (LightBox, ThickBox, etc.) is enabled PhotoJAR: Post Thumbnailer can display the full gallery via the viewer. See it in action on the PhotoBlog.

jfg69,
Thanks for trying PhotoJAR. Please check the version of PHP you are running. It sounds like you are running PHP 4. Check with your hosting provider to see if PHP5 is available.

That was it, thought I had already upgraded it.. Thanks!

I’m getting the same error as JFg69 (above) and I’m running PHP 5.2 on Linux. Pls help, thanks.

Not sure if perhaps it was my server settings but I uploaded the photojar plug and lightbox 2 and my gallery thumbnails disappeared. I went and cleared the cache in photojar settings page and got errors on pj-base.php line 118 to do with accessing the cache folder.
Anyway I solved it by creating a folder named “cache” in the photojar dir. Just wondering if maybe you forgot to ship with this folder created? Seems to work fine now.
Thanks for your work.

I found you plugin and I can not use it since I have php4 on my server. the only thing i really need is for lightbox to show the image titles underneath the photos. is there anyway you can help me out. i’m hoping to just hardcode a php_get_title_esque attribute somewhere, but I’m pretty sure it’s not that easy.
thanks in advance.

Using Photojar with Lightview. The Photojar Plugin loads Lightview but does not display the image.

Kugelblitz, It looks as though you have LightBox and LightView both enabled. There may be a conflict between the two. Try disabling one of the viewers.

eckert, you should be able to pair the LightBox 2 plugin and Gallery Plus to get what you need. That said, you should check with your web host about PHP5. It is be available, if not the default, at most hosts now that PHP4 does not have official support.
