The Rambling Chronicles: Notes

24th Jun 2008

There appear to be two ways of doing this:

WP2G plugin This way is supposed to be quick and painless, but I found it was pretty much the other way. Lots of things you need to do to get initially setup, and does not integrate well with themes that are not specifically designed for it¹. Overall, a lot of effort.
use an iframe Ok, not XHTML strict compaitible, so you could use the object tag², but this does allow the gallery to work flawlessly without any fuss, apart from long pages causing scroll bars. The gallery was embedded in a page using the template system, and is currently hard coded. This isn’t perfect, but it works.

The widgets that come with the WP2G plugin are tightly integrated with it, so I ended up making my own. Needs a lot of work before I can release it though, as it’s current state is about as secure as a prison made of jelly.
