The PicLens Plugin for WordPress makes it easy for you to provide your visitors with an immersive slideshow experience for rich media on your blog.

Visitors simply click a “start slideshow” link you place in your blog entry, and a slick slideshow interface will instantly appear with your images. From there, visitors can play or pause your slideshow, or better yet delve into a full-screen experience that goes beyond the confines of the browser window.

Optionally, you can also enable our sidebar widget to display a mini slideshow of images from throughout your blog.

Installation

1. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
2. Set your options in the ‘Settings’ -> ‘PicLens’ menu in WordPress.
3. Setup the PicLens Slideshow Widget in ‘Presentation’ -> ‘Widgets’ menu in WordPress.

Faq

What is the difference between the plugin and the widget?

The PicLens plugin lets you create immersive slideshows to appear within any blog entry, using images from any server. The PicLens widget, on the other hand, creates a mini display in your sidebar, and loops images from your entire blog.

What do my site visitors need to do to enjoy my immersive slideshows?

It’s as easy as clicking a “start slideshow” button you place into your blog. To enjoy the full features of your presentation, your visitors must have Adobe Flash Player v.9.0.28 or higher, or our free PicLens browser add-on.

Can I use the PicLens plugin and widget on a blog hosted at WordPress.com, i.e. myblog.wordpress.com?

Not yet, since blogs hosted on WordPress.com do not support plugins. Our plugin and widget work only on WordPress blogs hosted on your own domain and server at this time.

Can I add audio or video?

Currently, audio and video works only on PicLens Lite installed on websites. The audio on/off button on the PicLens Lite console is not yet functional with this plugin.

Why does WP PicLens require at least PHP verison 5?

PHP 5 supports libxml functions which the plugin uses to create the Media RSS feed. PHP 4 at the time of writing this plugin has reached its end of life and will no longer be supported by the PHP development team.

I got a Fatal PHP error when I activated the plugin, how do I fix it?

Make sure you are using php version 5, to remove the plugin, simply delete the wp-piclens folder.

As said in the description before, this plugin is a widget that can display up to 10 of your latest Flickr photos. The plugin is still in development, here are the features:

• Easy to setup and configure (feed with Flickr RSS or Screen name)
• Up to 20 Flickr photos in your sidebar or any other widgetized area
• Fully customizable widget (editable before.widget, after.widget, before.item, after.item, etc.)
• You can pick the photos display size: thumbnail, square, small or medium
• You can choose the _blank target to the flickr links
• Images are displayed with the Flickr photo description in ALT and TITLE attributes
• Ability to show titles next to your images
• Very easy to customize CSS
• Supports Thickbox!!
• Filter by tags now available!
• Ability to pick photos randomly
• Ability to use javascript instead of php (for those who had hosting issues, read the faq)

If you’d like to participate in the plugin development feel free to contact me, I’ll be glad to share some thoughts and guide you into the current development stage..

And YES, I do consider feature requests, and that is what makes this plugin work. The discussions are here: Quick Flickr Widget

Oh, and a big shout out to Donncha O Caoimh for his Flickr Widget. Thanks mate!

Installation

1. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
2. Check out your sidebar widgets configuration

Faq

PHP or JavaScript?

If you haven’t got any problems with PHP, then use PHP. JavaScript is for those who have hosting issues disallowing them the usage of the filegetcontents function.

I entered my username but the Flickr images aren’t showing up!

Okay. Let’s start off by saying that it’s not your Flickr username that I need (unless you’re using an RSS feed, in which case go ahead and bug me). And it’s not your Yahoo ID! It’s your Flickr screen name (in the Your Account section). Next. Make sure that safe_mode is turned off on your hosting account, cause as far as I know, that disables cross-domain usage, and the only way out is to use javascript or frames, which is rediculous. Now, if that didn’t help, then feel free to bug me on this page: Quick Flickr Widget Cheers!

Screenshots

This is the widget configuration options. As you can see it’s HTML is fully customizable!

This is the output from my Flickr RSS feed in middle size.

Here’s a screenshot of how it look swith the standard wordpress theme and small-sized flickr photos.

Oh. Did I mention that you can switch on the Thickbox effects?

Faq

When I try to activate the plugin I get the message : “Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.”
This problem could happened if you have a low memorylimit in your php environment and a lot of plugins installed. For a simple test deactivate all other plugins and try then to activate Flash Album Gallery again.

I get the message “Fatal error: Allowed memory size of xxx bytes exhausted” or get the “Error: Exceed Memory limit.”. What does this means ?
This problem could happened if you have a low memorylimit in your php environment or you have a very large image (resolution, not size). The memory limit sets the maximum amount of memory in bytes that a script is allowed to allocate. You can either lower the resolution of your images or increase the PHP Memory limit (via iniset, php.ini or htaccess). If you didn’t know how to do that, please contact your web hoster.

Read as startup http://codeasily.com/wordpress-plugins/flash-album-gallery/flag-review/

When writing a page/post, you can use the follow shortcode:

[album gid=x name=”Album_Name” w=width h=height] – (example: [album gid=1,3,5,6 name=”New Year 2009″ w=100% h=400] )

Adds local (private) avatars for your users. Maybe your users don’t want a global avatar, aren’t IT savvy enough to set a Gravatar up, simply want a private avatar for your blog, or any other reason too…

The plugin also delivers the much requested feature of allowing users to upload their own local avatar. This feature can be turned on and off by Administrators.

The local avatar feature list:
Have global or local avatars for your users.
Allow avatars to be included in posts. This is achieved securely; e-mail addresses are not exposed.
Detailed control over the default avatar to use for those users who do not have a global or local avatar. Allows a choice of a custom image, ‘mystery’ blank image, blank, Wavatar, Monster ID, or Identicon.
Wraps avatars in code to support SnapShots (www.snap.com), should your site use these.
Permits users to upload their own local avatars.

Usage & Settings

• Use the form, Users -> Avatars, to define any local avatars for your users. Specify the URI for an avatar image, something like http://your.domain/avatars/image.jpg, where avatars is a directory containing your local images.
• Also, you may set a default size (in pixels) for avatars and define a default image (e.g. http://your.domain/avatars/default.jpg) to use when no local or global avatar is available.
• Plus, you can also take advantage of the Gravatar.com feature to use Wavatar, Monster ID or Identicon.

Note

This addon will require the FTP + Filemanager premium option for you to define any local avatars for your users.

Description

Faster Image Insert aims to do one thing right:

Moves built-in Media Manager down in a meta-box, right next to main editing panel, so you have full control of the manager: opens it, makes it collapse or hidden from the interface completely.

Best of all, is now you can insert image(s) much faster, and precisely where you want them to be.

• No thickbox, using metabox with zero interface blocking, quite similar to the uploader in WordPress 1.5
• No hacking, default upload interface is not affected, only enhanced.
• Insert multiple images in gallery & library mode, without using shortcode; can also insert images in reversed order, and even control spacing between images.
• Mass info editing, change title/captions in one-shot.
• Smart switches: set default uploader, disable captions & toggle all items.
• Initial load time is still limited by server, because the default media manager is not fully client-sided.

This plugin is designed for:

• Screenshot lovers – movie, game or anime reviews etc.
• Howto gurus – cooking guide, hardware DIY guide etc.
• Photo loggers – author can comment below each photos.
• Bloggers that have been shouting “run, manager, RUN!” to their thickbox loading screens.

Usage

• (Optional) Change options in “Settings” menu
• Navigate to post/page editing panel, a Fast Insert metabox should appear

Faq

Does the media manager behaves the same in meta-box ?
Yes, except less annoying (I hope).

Would you mind slowing down releases ?
Fine, this version should be good for a while, until new bugs show-up

Why my items’ ordering are not saved ?
Remember to press “save all changes” button after re-ordering images. “Insert selected images” only outputs in listing order, NOT by ordering numbers.

Why reversed ordering starts with the number 500 ?
It’s just a number, I figure 500 should be enough for everyone; but you’re free to change it. Note that ordering number can be negative, you may use drag-and-drop to set them back to positive numbers.

Why doesn’t media manager load ?
Navigate to its options page, Try setting it to use html-based iframe, that should resolve the problem; otherwise you should look into possible plugin conflicts.

Conflicts with Custom Field Template plugin ?
One way to workaround this problem is to enable the multiple image insert option in CFT’s settings page. If you don’t feel like hacking wordpress core, media-manager popup within CPT meta-box will cease to load, but other function should work as usual.

Conflicts with Admin Drop Down Menu plugin ?
Schedule and Farbtastic libraries in wordpress can NOT live next to each other. Unfortunely, they met in the add new post section via these two plugins, which rendered the page as blank. One workaround is to uncomment the line on wpderegisterscript(‘farbtastic’) in faster-image-insert.php, it resolves the problem between two plugins, but also disable any color pickers.
