alternatives to Gallery functionality

  • i am looking for a plugin that will give me more of a “sexy” “wallpapered” look to my images instead of the very clean functionality of the gallery function.
    i am thinking of something that would allow me to select sets of images and simply post them all together at various sizes with no trimming or shrinking or expanding and that would also allow someone to click on an image to go to the larger version of the image.
    i have nothing against POSTING this to flickr first and then using one of the flickr to aperture plugins but i was hoping someone might have some suggestions on something they have seen or used themselves previously.
    short of that it would be great to getsome keywords to search for in the plugin directory.
    thanks

  • I know that WordPress.com introduced tiled galleries just a few weeks ago. I don’t know if there’s a plugin for that on www.ads-software.com, but I’m guessing there must be.

    Have a look and see if something like this would work for you:

    If WordPress.com is an option, you could always port your site over there. If not, then maybe do a search for WordPress tiled gallery plugin.

    I just don’t know if the tiling effect is what you were wanting.

    hi christine,

    very interesting. nice to see something like this in the galleries. i hate to say it but i have not been a big fan of how galleries function within WP. i find it somewhat error prone on upload but also very tricky to get it laid out the way i want it or without cropping. the UI here seems excessively confusing to me.

    i will ask elsewhere but if i want to re-arrange the number of images or the order of the images i can never delete all the images from the gallery content tab which is very frustrating.

    anyway, i was going to post on the forum for this link you give but i wonder if you might know if this gallery function will CROP or stretch the images in any way. if it crops images it is not something i want to use even though it looks like a nice improvement.
