The default “general group” can’t be deleted but it can store all image slider posts from previously deleted groups. Customized Slider Special Effects Special effect: the GB Gallery slider special effect is the main feature for this wordpress plugin. If you go to the “special effect admin”, on your wordpress dashboard you will find that the image you want to work with is divided in to a 100 squares matrix. By clicking on any of the matrix squares, it will receive the number one. The second square you click will receive the number two and so on… these numbers determine in which order the image will be revealed. You don’t have to click on all 100 matrix squares. Whatever matrix will be left unclicked the Slideshow gallery plugin will complete it in a default manner top right to bottom left. You can unclick the last square, without it changing the square sequence you made before. If you make further changes it will affect the order of the entire matrix above the chosen box number. It will not affect the order of matrix numbers below. Once you are done don’t forget to click save.

Yet another gallery plugin. I was looking for a simple gallery where you can select a thumbnail, see the complete picture in a acceptable size but also have the oppertunity to see the details of the image. I searched the web for a way to do this and found the AnythingZoomer, a jQuery Plugin by Chris Coyier. I originally used this jquery plugin for this WordPress plugin. In version 0.5 the plugin was completely re-written. The generated HTML is completely different, the JavaScript was re-designed and the CSS was created from scratch. Also inner zoom was introduced. It works well for e-commerce sites like webshops or as a photo gallery. It is easy to adapt if you would want to, but the default behaviour should be very much usable by anybody. There is a settingspage to customize the images used and wheter or not to over- write the default gallery shortcode. If you want to use this gallery, simply use the [superzoomgallery] shortcode in your post or page, or enable the overwriting of the gallery shortcode and use the default wordpress [gallery] shortcode in your post or page. Since this is still an early version, I recommend to test it out first before taking it to a production site. If you have any questions or problems, I would be happy to hear from you and help you if I can!
