pPGallery -Plugin for Joomla!

Wiki / Quick start:

Installation:

• Install this plugin as usual.
• in Joomla!s Admin-Backend goto 'Extensions'-'Plugin Manager' click in column 'Plugin Name' on 'Content-pPGallery' adjust the desired settings and activate the plugin.

How to use:

• All images have to be placed/uploaded in Joomla!s 'images' directory or it's subfolder(s). This is the default folder/path when using Joomla!s 'Media-Manager'
• Insert {ppgallery} folder or images {/ppgallery} in the content/article where the gallery shall appear.
• Folder:
  If folder is used, all valid and supported images in the specified folder are displayed in order of their filenames. The 'root-path' is taken from Joomla!s 'Global configuration-Path to Media Folder' (Backend-Site-Global configuration-System-Media settings-Path to Media Folder).
  Syntax: {ppgallery}folder/subfolder{/ppgallery}
  » [Example (Folders)]
  For having displayed a 'caption'- and/or 'description'-text with the thumbnails and images (if selected in the parameter settings), a text/csv-file can be placed in the same image directory/folder. For specifications and example refer to:
  » [Example (text-csv file)]
• Images:
  If inserting images directly into the content/article, wrap
  {ppgallery}...{/ppgallery} around the inserted image(s) or image-tags
  » [Example (wysiwyg-editor)]
  » [Example (no-editor)]
  The images 'alt'-attribute (for caption) and 'title'-attribute (for description) can be used and will be displayed with the thumbnails and images (if selected in the parameter settings)
• Thumbnails will be saved -for better performance- in Joomla!s cache-folder and will be (re-)builded only if the images were modified or thumbnail-parameters have been changed. If needed, all thumbnails can be deleted at once via the backend-admin-panel (->'tools-clean cache').
• Inline » [parameter overrides] are available for all thumbnail-, folder- and prettyPhoto parameters.
• Adjusting the » [width and height] parameters in combination with the 'fixed thumbnail spacing' will result in different thumbnail sizes which has influence on the gallery layout.
• For the different thumbnail layouts/styles refer to » [thumbnail layouts].
