PhotoJAR Hiatus
August 25th, 2009
PhotoJAR development is currently on hold. I have been busy with some iPhone development, photography, and a number of other personal obligations (including my day job). I will do my best to keep PhotoJAR working with future versions of Wordpress, but don’t expect any new features in the near future. If you are a PHP developer and would like to contribute to PhotoJAR I would be happy to help you add features to PhotoJAR. Thank you to all who have used (and are using) PhotoJAR.
Pagination in a PhotoJAR gallery
December 4th, 2008
This will work for some people, but won’t be the solution for everybody. A “real” pagination feature is still on my To-Do List.
This method uses the Wordpress <!--nextpage--> quicktag in conjunction with the (new in PhotoJAR: Base 1.1) offset and limit gallery properties. A post/page containing a gallery with 15 images per page would look like this:
[gallery orderby="post_title" limit="15"]
<!--nextpage-->
[gallery orderby="post_title" offset="15" limit="15"]
<!--nextpage-->
[gallery orderby="post_title" offset="30" limit="15"]
The offset will skip the images displayed on the earlier pages and the limit will restrict each gallery to 15 images. This example will work up to 45 images. Add another page break and gallery to increase capacity.
PhotoJAR Updates…
August 20th, 2008
PhotoJAR: Post Thumbnailer is now available for download. This is the plugin I am using on this blog to display gallery thumbnails on posts. The highlight feature is the display of a full gallery via Lightbox (or other viewer) when the thumbnail is clicked.
PhotoJAR: Base is also updated with many code improvements and a couple minor features. The linkto parameter can now be set to “viewer”, “default”, etc. to override the PhotoJAR settings on an individual gallery or image. The settings page has some minor organizational improvements. Also new: PhotoJAR will only display images in a viewer if it was added via an [image] or [gallery] tag.
Carnival Abstracts – July 2008
July 12th, 2008
A collection of photos from the 4th of July Carnival in Rolla, MO. This year I spent most of my photography time at the Starship 2000 ride. There is also a new take on the Octopus (my main focus last year – see one from last year in the Abstract gallery).

- Allows custom image sizes (beyond “thumbnail” and “medium”)
- Caches resized images
- Integrates with LightBox, ThickBox, LightView, and many more javascript image viewers
- Provides an
- Can change the default number of columns in a gallery

Wedding: Allison & Josh
June 17th, 2008
Allison and Josh were married on June 7th. I took the camera along and took a few photos while staying out of the way of the official photographer. Grandma had what she would call “a drinking problem,” which I kindly captured for posterity.
Wedding: Caitlin & Chase
June 16th, 2008
On May 31st, I had the pleasure of shooting Caitlin and Chase’s wedding with my good friend Bekah. These are a few of my photos from the day. The wedding was held in our college town, with an outdoor reception at a nearby camp. Each table had crayons and Caitlin & Chase pages to color on!
A couple notes about the gallery: Chase has been in a few metal/hardcore bands. Bekah gets credit for having them give us “the finger” (no, not that finger).
