Notes

  • This plugin works with BP Gallery RC2. Release of RC3 is forthcoming and any necessary changes will be made at that time.
  • I have no connection to to BP Gallery other than being a satisfied customer.

Installation

  1. Upload `bp-gallery-sidebar-widget.php` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
  3. Use the widget in the widget editor.
  4. For best results, use the same dimensions for thumnail display that are specified for bp-gallery. The bp-gallery thumbnail is used for this widget, so using the same size means nice looking thumbnails.

Options

The widget lets you specify the following parameters:

  • Maximum Galleries: the number of galleries to show.
  • Gallery Order: choose from Random, Earliest, and Latest
  • Thumbnail: choose cover, first, or random image to determine which image is used for a thumbail in the sidebar. Cover image is specified in bp-gallery.
  • Thumbnail width/height: the HTML attributes width & height.
  • Thumbnail padding: used for padding-right and padding-bottom for each thumbnail

Screenshots

This shows the widget on the front end. Thumbnail size is 120 x 100, and padding is 1.

Here's the widget settings panel.

Ok, that’s it for now. Hope you enjoy this!
