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%
         weblocation=>false

  • "list" - WinXP list style
  • "slide" - slideshow mode, needs Javascript on client

  • "none" - No descriptions next to photos
  • "name" - Only filename shown
