[flashgallery img=’2010/09/temp’]
I have used an freely available flash gallery that extracts images from a folder, this is a great solution as it doesn’t involve the editing of an XML file which, although is not complicated, does add an extra learning curve to clients wishing to utilise such a solution.
I have added a simple shortcode into the functions.php file which facilitates the scripting and calls on the image folder location and am using a plugin that allows for further categorising of image uploads (Custom Upload Dir).
The only drawback is that WordPress, by default, creates multiple images when you upload files so I will need to find a solution to that as ideally I don’t want to be using FTP.
