PhotoXhibit
If you are getting a hanging error when trying to add a gallery, please use the code at the following link [http://pastebin.com/f5a51e4b3] and overwrite all the code in the /photoxhibit/common/inc/px.php file. There is an issue with some servers with a php function that helps with foreign characters and this code helps
PhotoXhibit, formally Benjamin Sterling Galleries, was born out of the fires of so many not-so-great gallery/image manager plugins for WordPress.
This plugin uses photos from your Flickr, Picasa, and/or SmugMug accounts as well as allows you to upload and build Albums to help you build inviting Photo Galleries on and through out your site.
Features:
- Independent gallery creator for post, pages, and sidebar
- The ability to create a gallery based of some of the most popular JavaScript based gallery plugins
- Ability to customize each gallery’s appearance with a styles editor
- Ability to grab your photos from Flickr, Picasa, and/or SmugMug
- An easy to use interface for adding photos directly to a post or page from Flickr and SmugMug (Picasa and Albums coming soon)
- Easily create and upload Albums with a single thumbnail or two different size thumbnails
- Easily turn features on and off via the options tab
The following list of jQuery plugins are used in PhotoXhibit to help you build out your galleries:
- Image/Photo Gallery Viewer using jQuery
- jqGalViewII (Photo Gallery)
- jqGalScroll 2.0 (Photo Gallery)
- Cycle Plugin
- LightBox
- Thickbox
- lightbox (balupton edition)
- jqShuffle
Examples
Here are some examples of what the plugin will dump out:
Requirements
Till I have an alternative built in, “allow_url_fopen” must be turned on on your server for the Gallery Builder to work for the services other then Local and AlbumI have decided to go complete JSONP for all outside service calls.- JavaScript must be turned on
Flickr and SmugMug requires an API key for the advanced stuff, I am working to removing this requirement, but you will need it in the mean timeI resolved this need.

Known Issues
Opera chokes on some of the jQuery UI stuffIE6 and IE7 are now having issues when building a gallery and you click the next buttonThe Lightbox plugin has the path for the images used hardcoded into the js, so if you going use it, give it the full url to the imageFixed as of 2.0.10- Some themes use the_excerpt() on category, archive, tags and search pages and code will be echoed out for these pages for the posts that have a gallery on it. Check out the FAQ on how to get around this.
