Overview:
I wrote this plugin because my pre-widgitized theme incorporated a Gallery 2 ImageBlock. So when I converted the sidebar to a widgitized format, I needed an equivalent feature. Voila!
What it does:
Well, you’re looking at my blog now, right? See that picture in the sidebar? That’s what it does. See the above Gallery2 ImageBlock link for more info.
Options:
Title: The text you want displayed above your image. The standard widget title applies.
Gallery URL: The full path to your Gallery 2 install excluding the closing slash. For example, mine is: http://www.theschierers.net/gallery Note: Don’t include the closing slash.
All remaining options are passed directly to the Gallery2 External Block code. See the Gallery 2 ImageBlock help for more info.
g2_blocks: The G2 block or blocks to display.
g2_show: The details to show about the block.
Requirements:
Developed with WP2.5.1. Running (but not thoroughly option tested) on various versions between there and 2.6.2. Your mileage may vary.
My webhost has url_fopen disabled, so this is implemented using the libcurl() method. See the Gallery 2 Article: related How to Use the External Image Block When url_fopen is Disabled for details.
