## Description

Gallery Widget is a simple plugin that let you show the latest/random images of

the wordpress media gallery inside a widget, directly in your templates (it is possible
to choose some categories to be included/excluded) or in posts/pages using a shortcode(
see faq on how to use them).

For more information on how to use this plugin see [splash 😉](http://blog.splash.de/plugins/)

Please report bugs and/or feature-request to the ticket-system: [TicketSystem/Wiki](http://trac.splash.de/gallerywidget).

For Support, please use the [forum](http://board.splash.de/forumdisplay.php?f=102).

## Installation

 1. Upload the ‘gallery_widget’ folder to the ‘/wp-content/plugins/’ directory
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in the WordPress admin
 3. Go to Design->Widgets, activate the “Gallery Widget”, adjust the title and max 
    number of images to your needs
     or
 4. use the php-object `$galleryWidget` in your template (see [here](http://board.splash.de/showpost.php?p=173891&postcount=3))

Warning: Cause of the way the attachments are fetched using the standard option (
all), even images of not yet
 published posts are shown. If this is a problem for
you, you should use the option (include or exclude), although it is less optimized.

## FAQ

  How can i adjust the look of the Widget?

Just use the CSS-Class “wGallery” to alter the ul- or li-tags.

  How can i get only the images of one/some categories?

Use the category-option include or exclude and enter the id’s separated by comma

in the options of the widget.

  Why doesn’t the images link to the parent article?

This option actually only works with “category-option” set to include or exclude.

  How do i use the shortcodes?

This is explained [here](http://board.splash.de/showpost.php?p=173891&postcount=2).

  Is it possible to show the images at any position in the theme (not only as widget)?

Yes, is explained [here](http://board.splash.de/showpost.php?p=173891&postcount=3)

  Shortcode-Example using CSS

This is explained [here](http://board.splash.de/showpost.php?p=173891&postcount=4).
