New Gallery Feature Added

Wednesday, 03 September 2008 05:00

We are pleased to announce that we have updated all Simplweb sites with a handy new feature... galleries!

Our new plugin allows you to automagically display the contents of a whole image folder as smaller thumbnails in an article. No more adding images one at a time. Even cooler, when clicked on, the images popup in an eye-catching web 2.0 effect.

Just add for example { gallery}myphotos{/gallery } inside any article and all images existing in the folder "myphotos" will be presented as an image gallery, with stylish shadows on each thumbnail and "lightbox" popups to display the original images (when the user clicks on a thumbnail)! The thumbnails are generated on the fly which means that the original images are resized and resampled, too!

So, now, a) you don't need to have an additional gallery component to display a few images, b) you don't need to tell your visitors "to see our photos from Paris click here" and c) you focus more on content writing and less on managing the images!

Read our latest "How to" and learn how to use the gallery tool.

We hope you enjoy this great new feature from Simplweb!
