Videos for this plugin
If you don’t want to read the instructions here and there or you read them but still don’t know how to use the plugin, just watch these videos. The only premise is that you’ve successfully installed and activated the plugin.
I made these videos in the hope that they will give you a quick start. If you’ve got any further questions: just ask.
Introduction
This video shows you how to activate a SmoothGallery and set some options.
You can watch it here, on blip.tv or on YouTube.
Integrate a gallery into your theme
This video shows you how to integrate a SmoothGallery into your theme by implementing the insertSmoothGallery function. I’m using one of the conditional tags: you can read more about them here.
You can watch it here, on blip.tv or on YouTube.
How to implement a carousel
In this video I demonstrate how to implement a carousel with SmoothGallery: I’m fixing Matt’s page. All that’s left to do is to add an option saying carousel=true to the custom field smoothgallery. Furthermore you’ll have to insert img tags with the class set to thumbnail.
You can watch it here, on blip.tv or on YouTube.
Multiple galleries on a single page
This shows you how to have two SmoothGalleries on a single page.
You can watch it here, on blip.tv or on YouTube.
Automatically generated markup
In this short video I present a new feature: if you attach images to a post or page the markup for the gallery will be generated automatically for you. All you have to do is to copy and paste it somewhere inside your post or page.

Hi Chris,
Thanks for that utility.
Beimg totally new to web design etc, I haven’t got a clue how to successfully install and activate the plugin (I hope to use smoothgalery 2 but your version 1.6 would be fine as well).
Could you give me some instructions how to do this please?

Hi ksporry,
the plugin uses SmoothGallery 2 - the plugin has got its own version (1.6). These versions aren’t related to each other.
Just download the plugin here, unzip it into
wp-content/plugins, go to your plugins screen and click on activate. Then follow these instructions or watch the videos on this page.April 9th, 2008 at 3:50 am
Hi Christian, i’ve installed your wonderful plugin into my wp enabled site. i would like to use it as slideshow embedded into the header.php file of my index page. I mean, it would be nice if i cann get it working as slideshow below the image i have on my site (the tippy image) and of course below the title of my site (riavvia in seguito). I will appreciate any help/advice you can give. thanks in advance.

Wow. Videos are the best way to take us by the hand and show us how to use this plugin. Thanks!

thanks for the great plugin and vids but I’m a little confused. Do you edit the function insertSmoothGallery to have showcarousel true? Or the default value of showCarousel under get_smoothgallery_parameters to true?

Hi Joe,

This is not working with into the template. I straight copied and pasted the php function and get an error.

Hi Christian,
I just noticed the intro youtube was no longer available as well. I am trying to implement the plugin on a new site!
Thanks, David

Hi David,
I’ve uploaded the videos to blip.tv and added links to them everywhere. So if the video on YouTube isn’t working for you, you can switch over to blip.tv. Anyway, I recommend using blip.tv in the future since it seems to be much more professional than YouTube.
