Auto Albums – Multi Level Responsive Grid
STOP ADDING YOUR IMAGES MANUALLY IN YOUR PAGE!
This is a PHP plugin that scans a folder in your server in which you can put as much images, folders and levels you can imagine and the plugin will make a grid responsive gallery taking the folders as albums.
Put the plugin in your page once and then no more coding, you only need to take care of organizing your images in folders and if you want adding thumbnails.
There is no limit so you can keep creating folders or albums of images inside a folder inside a folder inside a folder and the plugin will still reading them all creating a navigation at the top so you can go back in whatever level of your choice.
This is an example of a directory that the plugin can read (as you can see you can organize your images in any way you want and the plugin will read your directory automatically):
The Alubms will show the number of images and Albums inside and when you click on it it will load all the content inside (images and Albums).
The Images will show its name on the caption and when you click on it it will open the lightbox.
Also you don’t have to load all the images at once (for performance purposes) so you can specify the number of images to load when it first load and the number of images to load when you click the “load more images” button.
IMPORTANT!!
I have made a PHP script that automatically generate the thumbnails for you, so you don’t have to build them with photoshop or something! If you have bought the plugin and you want to try it, email me so I can send it to you.
