Tips and Tricks
- If you want icons to be displayed for any folders, just put inside the folder an image (jpg, gif or png) with same name as the folder.
- If you want folders to be displayed in your sidebar, use the LG List Folders widget, or add this line to your “sidebar.php”:
<?php if (function_exists(lg_list_folders)) lg_list_folders("title"); ?>
You can use whatever title you want. - If you want a random image to be displayed in your sidebar, use the LG Random Image widget, or add this line to your “sidebar.php”:
<?php if (function_exists(lg_random_image)) lg_random_image("title", count, "folder_name", true ); ?>
Where:- “title” = the title above your images
- count = the number of images e.g 4
- “foldername” = the name of the folder from where the inages will be selected ( “” = all folders )
- true or false = include subfolders or not
- If you want to link an image in your post or page you can use this shortcode:
[lg_image folder="foldername" image="imagename.ext" align="value" width="value" height="value" caption="value"]
Where:- every atribute but “folder and image” are optional
- foldername: path to the folder, relative to the gallery directory
- align: could be left, right or center
- width and height: an integer value
- if caption is provided this will override the xml one
- If you want to show thumbnails for a folder in your post or page you can use this shortcode:
[lg_folder folder="foldername" count="value" cols="value" paging="value"]
Where:- every atribute but “folder and image” are optional
- foldername: path to the folder, relative to the gallery directory
- count: number of images to show
- cols: number of columns in display
- paging: show -next- and -prev- to show more images
- If you want to have a slideshow with images from one folder, you can use this shortcode
[lg_slideshow folder="foldername"]
Where:- foldername: path to the folder, relative to the gallery directory
- To enable comments, you have to have the line
<?php comments_template(); ?>
in the page template for your gallery. If you can’t find this line, please check single.php for the correct syntax and position.

Hi,
Fixed the PHP 5.3.0 error. Found it in lazyest-comments.php lg_add_column()
Replaced
$fields = mysql_list_fields( DB_NAME, $lg_tb_comments );
With
$fields = $wpdb->query(”SHOW COLUMNS FROM ” . $lg_tb_comments);
mysql_list_fields is deprecated.
Hi Grant,
Thanks for the fix.

Is there a way to get the images in a slideshow to be centered rather than absolute left 0px (seems to be coming from around line 200 of cross-slide.js)?
Thanks!
Yes, there is, but I haven’t had the time to make changes yet.
Is there some search and last-photos functions?
no sorry not yet
Hello!
Is it possible to set the a gallery so that subscribers can ONLY ADD, put the caption to their pictures and that’s all. I do not want them to change somebody else’s pictures or to delete something else.
I am trying long time different settings, but I think it’s not possible. Am I right?
sorry, LG has no user related settings.
When I use [lg_image folder="xxx" image="yy.jpg" width="320"] the resulting image on the screen is the thumbnail (albeit horribly upscaled to 320px wide). I’ve examined the resulting HTML and the image source is indeed coming from the thumbs directory.
Is this by design? Have I misread the instructions?
Yes, it is by design.
Hmmm… I’d have thought the tag to be [lg _thumb].
I know I can just add in the desired image with ye olde HTML but I was looking to keep my LG image usage consistent. Any chance of this being added (say [lg_fullmage ...]) with the same attributes as [lg_image]?
Great Idea!
I’ve since implemented this as [lg_fullimage] with width, height, align and caption options. Rather than post a glog of code here, let me know where to send the diff patch if you want to include it. Tested with FF 3 and IE 7.
Hi Marcel,
Thank you for the plugin. I install it on my localhost and like it a lot, I think I’ll use it for my new website
Just have a question, hope you can help me:
I’m using Vietnamese (charset UTF-8), when I create folder with Vietnamese name, it doesn’t work. Is there anyway to use Vietnamese, Chinese… for the forders’ name?
Thank you

I love the plugin but have a question. The plugin is installed for a number of website that all link to this one installation.
What is the code to tell the gallery to only display a specific folder not all? I tried [lg_gallery folder=shutterbug], but it show all the folder and not just the one I want.
Thank you
Marlies
Marlies
Please try
[lg_folder folder=shutterbug]Hi,
I’m using this gallery on my site and I think this is best galley plugin for wordpress. By the way can you make an ajaxed version of the slide view mode?? And maybe a preloader of the real images when someone goes on the thumb mode from folders. It’s a little bit slow on reloading alla the page.
maybe sometime in the future
I believe I’ve found a bug with the [lg_image] shorthand.
When I enter the code:
[lg_image folder="pics/Ithaca/1_Parks/Stewart_Park" image="img_7457.jpg" align="center" width="600"]
The resulting HTML is:
Instead of img_7457.jpg, it tries to load img%20width=%22600%22%20_7457.jpg
Hi Teri,
Hm, thanks for noticing, I’ll check it ASAP
in the meanwhile I found the bug. I’ll correct it together with the comments bug
Hi,
Just wondering if there was a way to display a slideshow in the sidebar or header, etc? I see you have some code on this page to put in a random image, etc, but is there any similar code to display a slideshow?
Many thanks and all the best,
Rory.
Yes there is, use this function:
<?php lg_random_slideshow($title, $count, $display, $folder, $sub) ?>where
$title= the title to display above the slideshow;$count= number of images to display;$display= seconds to display an image;$folder= foldername;$sub= include subfolders (trueorfalse)Hi,
First: thank you for a great gallery-plugin! I’ve been using it a few weeks now and you’ve made me very happy wiht this plugin!
Lightboxplus has had an upgrade to 1.5 (http://www.23systems.net/plugins/lightbox-plus/) and since the upgrade the photo’s arent shown using the lightbox anymore. Is it possible that lazyest gallery might need a small upgrade to work with Lightboxplus again?
Thanks,
– Michiel
Hi Michiel,
I have checked your site and have looked into the code of the gallery page. I can’t find anything wrong there. Please check for conflicting javascripts.
Hi Marcel,
Thanks for checking my site. I have almost no extra scripts installed, just lazyest gallery + Lightbox 2, a guestbook and a Date-timer.
After the 2.8 Wordpress update things went wrong. I’ve installed/deinstalled Lightbox Colorbox, Lightbox 2.. and right now I’m trying jQuery Lightbox. I have a suspicion that the lightbox plugins is somehow malfunctioning. jQuery seems to work.
Thanks again for checking and keep up the good work with this nice plugin!
– Michiel
I had the same problem. I fixed it by editing lazyest-functions.php and adding the line:
function_exists(’lightboxPlusReload’) ||
to the lg_some_lightbox_plugin() block around line 260.
The Lightbox Plus developer said that quite a bit changed with version 1.5… this is probably related.
Thanks Teri! That fixed my error. I’m very happy again now

so, possible at all? The number is misleading, since the sections actually have a lot of images. Thanks
Anything is possible in software.
But I don’t have the time to implement it soon.
You can hide the line with css
cool, hide the line with css. How can i do that for only the first page? Once you’re in a section, the numbers are good. I’m not seeing where custom css is generated for pages of gallery, separate from the 1 page the gallery uses from the theme.
Hello,
would like in the code [lg_folder folder = "fashion" count = "9" cols = "3" paging = "true"] use.
But he only shows me the code and not a gallery. The normal gallery ([lg_gallery]) works great.
Can you help me?
please omit the spaces around the equal sign
[lg_folder folder="fashion" count="9" cols="3" paging="true"]Is there a way to enable comments on individual images, but not on the thumbnail galleries? I tried searching all the docs and comments, but couldn’t find anything.
not without modifying the script.
Sorry, that “else” got eaten up. Should have been like this (minus extra spaces):
else {
echo “”;
}
Hi,
Not sure if this has been mentioned in earlier comments, but doing a quick search I couldn’t find anything.
I’m getting “invalid markup”, due to an undefined style-tag. I just updated to 0.12.2.4 and it’s still there. In lazyest-thumbs, on line #91, there is just a style= on its own. Should probably be style=” at least.
Another error I received, was an empty table row, which is caused by “if ($tcol_count < $tcolumns) {” on #126 in the same file not returning a value for me, therefore I don’t get any table cells for the row. If I add an else call on #130, like this:
else {
echo “”;
}
it works for me. I don’t know if this is an error, or if it’s just how I call the images. I run
[lg_folder folder="services"]in a text widget, to list all the images in that folder. Perhaps I need to call more variables.
Thanks for the plugin!
shortcode doesn’t work in widgets.
Hi Marcel,
You can run shortcodes in a text widget by adding some filters in functions.php (http://englishmike.net/2008/07/07/wordpress-quick-tips-3adding-a-shortcode-to-a-sidebar-widget/), so that’s OK. Still not sure if it’s that process which is causing the error or if the code in general misses a little code on those lines I mentioned.
Thanks,
Karl
Hi Marcel,
Thanks for your help and I am almost done, just little more troubles, thumbnail size, it doesn’t seems to be relating to the settings and it appears all different sizes?! Also my slideshow widget doesn’t work at all, the random images are ok, could you pls have a look on the site, you’ll see what I am talking about! Thanks a lot

Timea,
LG doesn;t create new thumbnails automatically. You have to delete the old thumbnails first.
Thank u Marcel, l showed the scroll bar by editing lazyest-images.php file… in another way, l am not a coder and l am curiouse if you can help me to resize the images in popup by as u mentioned by hard coding…
Do u have a mind where l should edit or how to resize images in pop-up, l am asking u cos l am not a coder
thanks in interesting…
I want to show the thumbnails on a page and not have the thumbnail images and caption linked to the individual page, how can I remove the link?
Also the gallery don’t use the LG stylesheet, how can I get it to do that?
OR is there a way to have .lg_foldernum hidden ONLY on the first page? The body class is the same, because the script uses the same page for everything so I can’t use my handy css trick. Thanks!
Under the folder name, it shows the number of photos. For folders with subfolders is there a way to show the number of subfolders instead? For instance, I have a folder with 2 images but 50 images in each of two subfolders. Showing “2 images” seems funny.
