ptAlbum
[PTALBUM=7 small WIDTH=b]
ptAlbum is a plugin for WordPress which let you display media album inside post. It is not a gallery plugin. For this, you may use NextGen gallery. ptAlbum aims to facilitate insertion of any media inside post.
The concept: I wanted to have a simple and unique way to manage and insert albums of all kind of media in a blog. ptAlbum is not a gallery. It’s purpose is to insert album in posts, not to have posts lost among galleries.
Main functions
Administration
- manage pictures (local or remote), mp3, flv and youtube videos as single media.
- manage album. Albums can be a mix of all single media and can include a FlickR set in addition.
- single media can be uploaded to the server (multiple upload is available for pictures) or created from a server path.
- thumbnails are dynamically generated.
- a FlickR set can be created to FlickR.com from an album.
- multi-user: each user has his own upload space.
Usage
- Display uses some javascript to expand content in pop-up frames. Several frames can be expanded in the same time (the idea is: you can listen to music while going through pictures ;)).
- Album insertions in posts are done with tags.
- FlickR sets can be inserted directly with a tag, or by adding a specific class to the html link.
- Album can be inserted inside text. It can be just an expanded frame firing from a text, or a presentation with multiple options available.
- Display options includes simpleviewer, simple horizontal list of media, links to mp3 or video attached to the album and FlickR options.
- Thumbnail and picture sizes are compliant with FlickR’s standard.
- Multiple options are available with tags to control display: size of thumbnails, size of pictures, primary pictures,…
