Help/PhotoAlbumPlugin

The PhotoAlbum plugin makes an 'album' by displaying a set of photos listed in a text file with optional descriptions.

Usage

<<PhotoAlbum
         src=http://server/textfile
         mode=[column|row]
         align=[center|left|right]
         desc=true
         sort=false
         height=100%
         width=100%
>>

Arguments

Only the src parameter is required.
