All in One Gallery – WordPress plugin

Display and browse all the images on your wordpress website in one place using the new [ gallery ] shortcode.

All in one Gallery is my first plugin for wordpress and my first program in php. I wanted to have all the pictures that have been uploaded on my website to be displayed and browsable in one place. I didn’t want to use another system then the default new gallery system of wordpress, because I wanted full compatibility and prefer to be pluged to the core of wordpress instead to depend on another gallery system. So the plugin is simply looking at all the categories, then check if there are images in all the category’s posts and, if there are, use the [ gallery ] shortcode. I use it with lightbox-2 plugin and cleaner-gallery plugin.

All-in-One-Gallery plugin work with the new [ gallery ] shortcode and therefor only work with recent version of wordpress ( 2.6, maybe 2.5 and probally future released ). Also, I created this plugin for Anna Chocola and myself, so I can’t garanty that it will work properly. But the plugin is so simple that it should work for everyone. You can try it on my website by clicking Image Gallery in the sidebar or on Anna Chocola’s website by also clicking on Image Gallery in the sidebar.

For up to date infos, latest and older versions, please go to the plugin page on wordpress.org

The plugin is pretty simple, there are only 3 options that you can find under Settings/All in One Gallery:

Style and Place the Gallery :

  1. Select the page where you want the gallery to be displayed. Note that you have to create a page to be use for the gallery.
  2. Select your color style for the menu, default is blue.
  3. Select how many columns in gallery (Just changing the attribute of the [ gallery ] shortcode.), default is 4

Exclude categories or Pages:

  1. In case you have some texts only categories or what ever is the reason why you don’t want some categories to be in the gallery.

Welcome message:

  1. Switch welcome message ON and OFF
  2. If ON, the gallery will display a default message that you can alter.
  3. If OFF, select the category’s gallery to be displayed

It’s also simple to install, like most wordpress plugin:

  1. Download all-in-one-gallery.zip
  2. Unzip and Upload the folder to  wp-content/plugins/
  3. Activate in the plugins tab in your dashboard
  4. Create a page for the gallery
  5. Set your settings under Settings/All in One Gallery

There might be other plugins that do that sort of things but I only seemed to find plugin that replace the default gallery system. I don’t want to change the core of my wordpress and also wanted to try something in php.

Repulsion

I am currently working on a game for Avert. For that, I did some test on attraction/repulsion with Traer’s physics library ( brilliant lib ), and obviously got carried away playing with lights and physics. The game is not going to be like that as it has to run online and on the largest panel of computers.

No Ball Game / futur 1985 / Slovenia

<p>No ball Game - Futur 89 Exhibition</p>

No ball Game - Futur 89 Exhibition

No ball Game was presented at the FUTUR 1985 exhibition for the 13th International Festival of Computer Arts, a festival of Art and Technology for the Future, in Slovenia. Thanks to Jankenpopp and the collective ‘la vitrine‘. I wasn’t there to perform it so Jankenpopp did it for me. I quite like the idea of having one of my performance performed by someone else.

FUTUR 1985 proposed a physical confrontation to generative and dynamic tools.

“The audience was invited to attempt to both responding and expressive art configuration in which digital and performative dimensions overlap. Since the collective la vitrine enjoy digital art that smell like sweat, they will propose a real physical point of view intentionally out-stepped from the finality of new medias “ – quoted from la vitrine’s website.
