Notes

fGallery is still in beta, so any feedback and bug reports is greatly appreciated. If your site look funny after installation, take a look in the FAQ section below.

Installing

  1. Unzip to wp-content/plugins/fgallery.
  2. Create wp-content/fgallery for the images, chmod 777.
  3. chmod 775 css/fim_style.css, to make it edible.
  4. Go to WP admin->plugins and activate fGallery.
  5. Add a new link to your site to view the photos.
  6. Example http://www.mydomain.com/wp-content/plugins/fgallery/fim_photos.php.
  7. Or if you are using fancy URL:s http://www.mydomain.com/photos.
  8. If you updating from earlier version, deactivate and activate.

Modifying the page template

The page template used in fGallery is called fim_photos.php and looks like this:

<?php define('FIM', true); ?><br />
<br />
<?php include("../../../wp-blog-header.php"); ?><br />
<?php require_once("functions/fim_functions.php"); ?><br />
// Start editing, please do not edit above this line.<br />
<?php get_header(); ?><br />
<br />
<div id="content" class="narrowcolumn"><br />
		<div class="entry"><br />
			<?php echo fim_get_the_content(); ?><br />
		</div><br />
</div&gt;<br />
<?php get_sidebar(); ?><br />
<br />
<?php get_footer(); ?>
// End editing

Even if this template is good for many themes it is far from working on all of them. The template is taken from the wordpress default theme Kubrick. If this template isn’t working for your particular theme you have to modifiy it. Make changes so the template reflects your theme’s page layout
.

Using lightbox

If you want to use lightbox edit lightbox/js/lightbox.js line 62 and 63 to reflect your installation.
WordPress installed in root of the server i.e http://www.mysite.

"/wp-content/plugins/fgallery/lightbox/images/loading.gif";
"/wp-content/plugins/fgallery/lightbox/images/closelabel.gif";

WordPress installed to another folder i.e http://www.mysite.com/blog:

"/blog/wp-content/plugins/fgallery/lightbox/images/loading.gif";
"/blog/wp-content/plugins/fgallery/lightbox/images/closelabel.gif";

FAQ

Q: My site looks funny after installation.
A: This probably has to do with the theme you are using . If you take a look in header.php you probably see:

<div id="content">

Move this line to index.php just under where it says:

<?php get_header();?>

Q: Where do I change if I want more spacing between the thumbnail?
A: Change the width and height in the css file look for “.fim-tn-border-album”.
