Image Galleries from DropBox
My previous post gave a little sneak peek to my very first wordpress plugin “Dropbox Gallery”.
Although it is not ready for press right now, I’ll tell you about its features and advantages.
No (manual) upload needed
All you do is drag a file to your Dropbox folder. You should upload an image with a reasonable filesize, so don’t use your 20 megapixel raw image. Thumbnailing is done by dropbox.
Caching, not copying
The images from your Dropbox are cached for faster access. The cache has a configurable lifetime.
Update galleries or individual pictures
On the other hand every new revision of an image is detected and updated. You altered your image in Photoshop? No need to update your image in WordPress.
Choose any folder from your Dropbox account
You may choose any folder to create an image gallery out of its contents. All images of the folder you chose are displayed in your article.
And here is what you get
Ohhh I’ve been desperately looking for such a plug in for long-long time !! It would be really priceless if you can create a “wordpress widget” as well for this plug in, which lets us integrate the galleries from dropbox into our side bar, like “flickr” users are doing.
Thank you very much, would be glad to get updates of this promising plug in.
