JARinteractive

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.

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: 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.

My first Wordpress plugin, PhotoJAR: Base (beta), is ready for consumption! If you have a Wordpress-based website/blog, please try it out. PhotoJAR: Base provides a number of enhancements to the Wordpress 2.5 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 shortcode
• Can change the default number of columns in a gallery
