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 2.8.4. Your mileage may vary. There have been some reports with problems on WP2.7.
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.
