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. Watch this page or the blog for news on new PhotoJAR plugins.

PhotoJAR

Base

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

PhotoJAR

Post Thumbnailer

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.

    Hi, just uploaded and tried to install to my wp, got the following error:

    [code]

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or ‘}’ in /home/fourn1/public_html/jfg69/wp-content/plugins/photojar-base/pj-image-resize.php on line 11
    [/code]

    Thanks!

    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.

  9. JARinteractive Says:

    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.

  10. JARinteractive Says:

    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.

    I just installed PhotoJar and Lightbox onto my wp blog. Tried it, and get this error:
    Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/content/s/t/a/(hiddeninfohere)/html/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/photojar-base/pj-gallery.php on line 30

    I just had my site upgraded to php5 - it should be up now. I am using wp 2.5.1 on a linux server.

    Any suggestions?

  12. chris Says:

    and I tried uploading pics after installing it - just to see if it only worked on pics uploaded after install. Same issue.
    thanks!

  13. JARinteractive Says:

    Chris, there are a couple options. upgrading to Wordpress 2.6 will resolve the issue. Alternatively, try putting orderby="menu_order, ID" in your gallery shortcode - [gallery orderby="menu_order, ID"]. I will improve the error handling in the next release. Thanks for using PhotoJAR!

    Hi James,
    I am just in the process of setting up my new blog and wanted to use photojar on some pages for galleries.
    The dashboard error message said that
    PhotoJAR Error: the PhotoJAR cache directory () is missing.
    Is this a different cache folder from the one that is already in the photojar files - (with a place holder.txt in it)
    (Permissions at 777 now).
    Sorry - I am a newbie - just learning about plug ins etc so any help would be appreciated.
    Regards
    Karen

    opps - sorry have I left my pleas for help in the wrong place?

    Hi Karen,

    What are the current and default settings for the PhotoJAR cache path. You can find this near the bottom of the PhotoJAR settings page.

  17. Karen Says:

    Hi
    The actual PhotoJar Cachee Path “box” is empty but underneath the box is this
    Default setting is ‘/home/artistsg/public_html/wp-content/plugins/photojar-base/cache/’.

    The next box (photojar cache Url) is empty
    and underneath is this
    Default setting is ‘http://www.artistsgarden.co.uk/wp-content/plugins/photojar-base/cache/’.

    Thanks ?
    Karen

  18. JARinteractive Says:

    Thanks Karen, try updating to version 1.0.2 or copy the default settings into the text field.
