Integrate Gallery into WordPress
Filed in: Site News, WordPress, WordPress Plugins — January 23rd, 2005
After spending the whole Sunday afternoon, I integrated my photo gallery with wordpress, finally. Check it out! 
I choose Gallery(http://gallery.menalto.com) as my gallery script because of it powerful functions and easy to manage.
The integration process took longer time than I expected, though. Most of the time are spend on searching for guides and layout troubleshooting. (It is still not perfect… I cannot set border frame to the image thumnails. If set, the image will become 1pixel width only…)
If you also want to integrate Gallery with WordPress, here are some useful links for you.
Gallery Integration Guide
- Incorporating Gallery into Wordpress — the first useful guide I found. Simple and works!
- Wordpress and Gallery integration — very similar with the first one, with extra note on CSS.
- Gallery Integration with Kubrick and Wordpress — If you use Kubrick template(me!) then this is for you.
- Tips & Tricks for customizing Gallery v1.xx — guide to customize Gallery to your needs. Useful for Gallery integration to ANY website.
WordPress Gallery Plugin
- WP-Gallery — easily insert Gallery photo thumbnail(with link to original photo) into wordpress post.
- Gallery-RSS Wordpress Plugin — take Gallery RSS feed and display recently updated galleries(with thumbnail).
- Gallery Random block for WP — display random image in wordpress.
Thought:
The integration is quite simple. Only cut the header and footer of wordpress template and put in Gallery HTML wrapper header and footer. I wonder how come I spend so much time to do it… 
Anyway, more photos are coming!

[...] press layout into the Gallery, but it’s hard work. I followed the guides referenced here to the letter, but the page [...]

Great stuff but a little more work needs to be done on your css and layout. I get overlapping menu on your home/profile/archives…. on your header -
Wait. I see this on all your pages, so either the CSS hasn’t been tested across browsers, or you want it to be like this.
Anyway, great info on getting the Gallery into WordPress! Thanks.

There’s a bug - when you are looking at particular photos the “blog” link in the main navigation tab goes to gallery/wp instead of wp.
See http://www.liewcf.com/gallery/genting2004/tarc1999_genting_trip_2004_02 for example.

Hi, I like your site and I plan on integrating the gallery into my WP. I have a little question for you if you would be so kind to answer. How do you get your categories to display in an indented form for the children categories? I read the WP wiki and it says that you should use wp_list_cats with the argument children=1 but it doesn work for me. So what do you use for the categories display?
Thanks in advance.

Here is what is in template to display the category:
list_cats(0, ”, ‘name’, ‘asc’, ”, 1, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0,”,”,”,”,”)

I got a cookie error from http://scatteredthoughts.us/ and the tutorial on pibby is for the older version of WP. Are you using WP 1.5? Would you mind to list out the steps?

I am now using WP 1.5 and removed gallery(due to high traffic in for cute girls photos). I probably will install gallery on WP 1.5 later and write the instruction.

Haha! Thanks! You’ve done all my research for me. Good guide links.
