Image Gallery

[gavinjb]

I have just install BackCountry Theme and trying to work out how to get a Gallery working, I first of all looked through several of the plugins, but as yet I have been unable to find a Gallery I like, all I am after is something similar to the basic Gallery built into WP, but with forward/back buttons & a link to return to the post the gallery is in, it must have however the facility to comment on each photo in my gallery.

I have doing some googling I found an article on creating an image.php file which I have managed to get the back/next buttons to be displayed with its help, however I now have lost the comments at the bottom and it is not apply my theme, so any help would be appreciated.

The link to the article I found is http://ottopress.com/2011/photo-gallery-primer/

and the code I have so far done for the gallery is as follows (more or less copy and paste from the article!)

<?php  // Get Parents Title
echo &quot;<a>post_parent). &quot;'&gt;Go back to &quot;. get_the_title($post-&gt;post_parent) .&quot;</a>&quot;; ?&gt;

&lt;?php // Navigation
echo previous_image_link(false,'Previous Photo');
echo next_image_link(false,'Next Photo'); ?&gt;

&lt;?php // display image
echo wp_get_attachment_image( $post-&gt;ID, 'medium' ); ?&gt;

&lt;?php  // get image data
$imagemeta = wp_get_attachment_metadata();

if ($imagemeta['image_meta']['camera']) {
    echo &quot;Camera: &quot; . $imagemeta['image_meta']['camera'];
}

if ($imagemeta['image_meta']['shutter_speed']) {
    echo 'Shutter: ';
 
    // shutter speed handler
    if ((1 / $imagemeta['image_meta']['shutter_speed']) &gt; 1) {
    echo &quot;1/&quot;;
        if (number_format((1 / $imagemeta['image_meta']['shutter_speed']), 1) ==  number_format((1 / $imagemeta['image_meta']['shutter_speed']), 0)) {
            echo number_format((1 / $imagemeta['image_meta']['shutter_speed']), 0, '.', '') . ' sec';
        } else {
            echo number_format((1 / $imagemeta['image_meta']['shutter_speed']), 1, '.', '') . ' sec';
        }
    } else {
        echo $imagemeta['image_meta']['shutter_speed'].' sec';
    }
} ?&gt;

I feel I must mention that my knowledge of php & html is limited and until last week I had never used WordPress so I am somewhat of a beginner and I am getting the feel that I am trying to do something a bit advanced.

If anyone knows of an plugin that can help with my requirements please let me know as I am at the stage of after something nice an easy to setup.

Thanks,

Gavin,

Jetapack includes different galleries which hook into the native WordPress gallery functions. These allow commenting on images and you can also install a plugin to link each image to a custom url.

Thanks, just found that, looks good, one other problem is there a way in a gallery to set the image size to Full and not medium (when viewing the single image), I have found an article (see below), but it relies on copying single.pgp as image.php and editing it, the child theme I am using doesn't have a single.php and haven't been able to find any other solutions so far.
