After installing the wonderful fGallery plugin I was rather dissapointed that I could not insert the images into my posts. I had a play with using PHP to insert the images, but this got very messy, very quickly.

“There must be an easier way?” I thought, so I set about seeing how these plugins work. Using the SimpleTags plugin as a guide I set to work on fGalleryTags.

Following a small amount of cursing I manage to get the plugin working. It turns out that the Wordpress plugins are not quite as difficult as I first thought. The Wordpress API works very well and allows you to add in filters for content easily.

The result of this has been the development of fGalleryTags. fGalleryTags works by allowing the user to enter an [fGallery] tag into a post, where an fGallery image thumbnail is needed. An example of the thumbnail produced is shown on the left. Clicking on the image will then take the reader to the Album containing this image.

To download fGalleryTags and for more information please see my fGalleryTags page
