Hi guys, I’m pleased to tell you that I’ve just released the pro version of Magic Gallery 3.0! You can get it for €9 at www.magicgalleryplugin.com The free version will be released at the end of januari 2012.
Description
Today I give you a brand new plugin for WordPress: Magic Gallery!
It is a simple image gallery with abilities to create albums and upload images from the WordPress admin area. For a list of all the features check below.
You can download the plugin here.
You can find the support forums over at the WordPress Support Forum.
– Creating/editing/deleting albums.
– Uploading/editing/deleting images in these albums.
– Set thumbnail dimensions.
– Uses a shortcode to display one (or multiple) album inside a post or page.
– Option to choose between different gallerys (Lightbox2, Pikachoose so far).
– On the fly thumbnail generation thanks to Smart Image Resizer (PHP), found on shiftingpixel.com.
– Option to hide/display image titles in the gallery.
– Set a maximum amount of characters for the titles.
– Option to show all images into one album.
– Widget with the ability to show the images of an album in the sidebar.
– Synchronize images via FTP.
I’ve been working on an update, version 2.0 has just hit the WordPress Plugin Directory! It includes the following fixes/functions:
- You can now use multiple albums on one page without any problems (for both gallery types!).
- There is now a widget included that will display a small gallery in the sidebar. The widget has options like title, height and width to make it fully customizable (and again, there’s one for both gallery types!).
- The plugin now uses wp_register script to load all the css and js, so it won’t be in your body anymore.
- All thumbnails now have editable dimensions, and the cropratio changes with it too.
- Album titles and descriptions can now be edited.
- Image titles are now editable, as well as the ability to move a picture to a different album.
- You can now upload images to albums via FTP, and then go to the new Synchronize Images page and add all the new images automagically to the database.
- The name Magic Gallery has now been properly spelled in the code :p
- The options page is reordered into a more clear and user-friendly page.
- More Pikachoose options, like transitions and speed of the effect.
- The Pikachoose gallery now has editable dimensions (for both the big image and the thumbnails).
Many thanks to Mauricio Cunha from mcunha98.com for adding some of these new features and sharing them with us!
I’ve been working on an update, version 1.8 has just hit the WordPress Plugin Directory! It includes the following fixes/functions:
- The gallery will now be displayed inside the_post (meaning it won’t always be on the top of the page anymore, but on the place where you placed the shortcode).
- The URL to the thumbnails is changed to one that works for more people (I hope 
).
- The imageconvolution error is fixed.
- The gallery images are now sorted by ID, so that they will be ordered in the same order you’ve uploaded them.
- The Pikachoose gallery type now has the option to enable or disable the autostart of the slideshow.
- The Lightbox loading image and close image have been fixed, they are working again.
Magic Gallery 3.0 is coming!

LikeFor me the error with the admin area was due to Magic-Gallery deregistering jquery and loading its own jquery when using the Pikachoose gallery. I went into the gallery.php file and around line 126 to 128 I commented out
wp_deregister_script('jquery');
wp_register_script( 'jquery', ''.WP_PLUGIN_URL.'/magic-gallery/js/jquery.js', null, null); wp_enqueue_script('jquery');
The gallery still appears to be working properly and all of the features in the admin system appear to be working now.

Likeashu Hi ashu, the fix below from greg_inconcert is correct. Some versions of Wordpress and Magic Gallery have a Jquery conflict. In the new version this is all fixed, the plugin only loads it's own JS and CSS at the pages where the plugin is loaded. As of today, all of the new features are showcased on http://www.magicgalleryplugin.com, as well as screenshots of all the new features. Let me know what you think of it, I'd love some pre-launch thoughts.

LikeHi Gerban,
Thanks for this plugin! I love it except that when I activate/use it, it places a black bar/background around any H3 areas. Any idea what is causing this and if I can get rid of it?
It looks very similar to the black title area that is under a thumbnail, but it is on my actual site and not just in the Gallery.

Likevaprofessionals Hi Va professionals, this is a bug in the CSS. You can edit it and search for the h3 tag there and delete it. The version of the plugin you are using loads the front-end CSS in the backend, this is fixed in the new version of the plugin that is coming soon.

LikeAny chance of adding a feature? - use images attached to a post - so all you have to do is put the plugin's shortcode in the post and it pulls the images automagically and voila.

Likejasondaydesign Hi Jason, sorry for the late reply, but I've been working hard on the new version of the plugin. About your request: I made a plugin for this before, you can find it here: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/post-image-gallery/
I will add this on the roadmap of a future release of Magic Gallery, so you won't need two plugins anymore.

Likeremo118 Hi there. What version of Wordpress are you using? Normally there would be an extra menu item called "Magic Gallery" in the admin navigation.

LikeHi there guys, due to my new website the old comments have been archived. I'm hoping to import them here again a.s.a.p, and I'll try to get back to your questions about the plugin after this site has been finished.
