Description

Minigal Nano WP is a very simple image gallery. It adheres to the KISS principle and is very easy to install. Minigal Nano WP does not have a web admin interface: You just upload your images in the photo folder on your server (using FTP, SFTP…). It only requires php and GD (no database, no special libraries like PEAR or ImageMagick).

Minigal Nano WP uses a javascript Lightbox (Use left/right arrows for navigation), but it degrades gracefully if javascript is disabled.

Minigal Nano WP is based on Thomas Rybak’s version which seems to have been abandonned in 2010.

This plugin is based on the work of SebSauvage who took over the project. It adds new themes and icons, use more modern html/css, updates JS libs, and wants to be more community pull-friendly for the future.

Adding your photos

  • Simply add your photos to the wp-content/uploads/ directory via FTP or SFTP.
  • You can create as many subdirectories as you want.

Adding a comment to a gallery

  • Simple create comment.html in the gallery’s folder.

Adding a comment to an image

  • Create an html file. Filename must be the image filename plus .html. (eg. myimage.jpg => myimage.jpg.html)
  • The html file can contain:
    • comment
    • title::comment

Using a custom image for folders

  • Create folder.jpg inside a folder: This image will be used as default image for folder.

How does file captions work?

Create a file called captions.txt in the same subfolder to /photos as your image(s). To bind a comment to a photo, captions.txt must contain this structure:

image1.jpg|Caption 1
image2.jpg|Caption 2

etc…

But remember: captions.txt MUST be placed in the same folder as the image you want to comment!

Thumbnails

You do not have to care about thumbnails: They are automatically created in the thumbs directory.
If some thumbnails are wrong, you can purge this directory: Thumbnails will be automatically re-created.
