Slideshow transition types: Cross-fade Zoom Ken Burns Slide Swap Stack Flip (3D) Carousel (3D) Book (3D) Cube (3D) Cover flow (3D) Grid-type layouts: Grid Mosaic Strip Masonry Please note that this projector pulls data from a JSON file, which is automatically generated when you make albums with database-driven skins (Tiger, Photoblogger, Projector, Lizard, or Story). However, you can also ask jAlbum to generate this file with any skin; see “Settings / Advanced / Generate JSON data.” (Don’t forget to “Make album” and “Upload” after turning this option on.) If you’re using the album from another site, make sure this site supports Cross Origin Resource Sharing (CORS); otherwise, the projector’s access will be blocked. Note that if the WordPress site is under https, the album site must support HTTPS protocol, too! jAlbum is an album creator desktop application that creates web albums of images on your hard disk. This way, you can manage your photo collection from your PC without needing individual uploads to a remote server. Create albums with folders, custom pages, and external links No limit; you can use tens of thousands of images or videos jAlbum manages the uploads: you can upload to any site (different from your WP site), or you can host them on jalbum.net if you wish Widely customizable albums Tons of features: Google Maps, PayPal cart, Feedback, search, etc. For help with the plugin, visit your-site-here.com → Read more about jAlbum features → Get the jAlbum application from here → jAlbum Bridge forum on jalbum.net → Feedback is welcome, especially the positive 😉

This Plugin uses the SSP Director API to pull content from SlideShowPro Director. Features: Insert a single image from SSP Director into a post using a shortcode. Insert a photo grid with multiple images from SSP Director into a post using a shortcode. Query SSP Director for albums, galleries, tags and configure the sorting of the output. Photo grids with random images are possible. Insert widgets into your theme if you want to display a photo grid in a widget area. Sizing and image handling are according to your default settings but can be overridden by shortcode attributes. Use image metadata provided by SSP Director for formatting image captions. Enable/disable photo feed functionality which generates an encrypted RSS photo feed URL for photo grids. Use FancyBox to display photos in lightbox style. Shortcode Help Use this shortcode: [sspd]. List of allowed attributes: album: The id of an album to show (integer). gallery: The id of a gallery to show (integer). image: The id of a single image to show (integer). align: Alignment of a single image (left|center|right, default: left). caption: Whether or not to show the caption of a single image (yes|1|no|0, default: 1). limit: The maximum number of images to be shown in a grid (integer, default: 0). 0 if unlimited. tags: List of tags to filter the content by, separated by commas. tagmode: Mode in which the tag filter works. Match all tags or any out of the list (all|one, default: one). sort_on: The sort field (null|created_on|captured_on|modified_on|filename|random, default: null). sort_direction: The sort order (ASC|DESC, default: DESC). rss: Whether or not to show a RSS photo feed link below the photo grid (yes|1|no|0, default: 1). If no attributes are specified, the default plugin settings apply as defined in the sections “Photo Grid Defaults” and “Image Sizes and Handling”. Example: [sspd gallery="6" limit="10" tags="technology" sort_on="captured_on" sort_direction="DESC"]: This will output the 10 most recent photos of gallery 6 which are tagged with "technology". Using captions Image captions are automatically generated using image metadata. You can define different captions for preview images and images presented by FancyBox. Use placehoders like %placeholder% in your caption definitions and define how dates will be formatted. List of allowed placeholders: %caption%: The image caption as provided by Director. If the caption is not set in Director, the IPTC caption is used instead. %byline%: The IPTC byline %city%: The IPTC city %country%: The IPTC country %date%: The image capture date from the EXIF record Date formatting: Use common PHP date formats. Using HTML in your captions: You may use the following HTML elements and attributes: , , , , , Example: %caption% (%date%) Photograph by %byline% Known Issues A bug in the Director API v. 1.5.0 beta generates a wrong result when a query with multiple tags is done. See SSP Director Forum. photo grids and photo feeds don’t work for smart galleries and albums. (Seems to be a Director bug.) The plugin currently doesn’t check if the photo feed feature is installed correctly. The photo feeds don’t show the real sizes of the downloadable enclosures, but the sizes of the originals.
