Please install the Ignite Gallery Content plugin and the Ignite Gallery Editor Button plugin. The editor button will let you enter the Ignite Gallery code into the Joomla article, and the content plugin will change the code into a gallery.

Choose the options you require, the options are explained here:

There are 7 options for type paramater:

• The Category type will display one category in the same way that the component will display one category. If there are images uploaded into the category, a gallery will display. If there are child categories, and the "Show Menu Images" paramater is set to yes, then the menu images for the child categories will display.
• The Random type will display random images from the selected category. If the "Include Child Galleries" paramater is set to yes, random images will also be selected from categories that are children of the selected category.
• The Latest type will display latest images from the selected category. If the "Include Child Galleries" paramater is set to yes, latest images will also be selected from categories that are children of the selected category.
• The Highest Rated type will display highest rated images from the selected category. If the "Include Child Galleries" paramater is set to yes, highest rated images will also be selected from categories that are children of the selected category. Currently this option only works with the built in ratings that come with the Joomla 1.5 version, but this feature will be improved to inlclude ratings done with AL Ratings integration.
• The Most Commented type will display most commented images from the selected category. If the "Include Child Galleries" paramater is set to yes, most commented images will also be selected from categories that are children of the selected category. Currently this option only works with the built comments that come with the Joomla 1.5 version, but this feature will be improved to inlclude ratings done with Jcomments integration.
• The Tagged type will display images that have the tags entered in the tagged paramater, which are also in from the selected category. If the "Include Child Galleries" module paramater is set to yes, tagged images will also be selected from categories that are children of the selected category.
• The Most Viewed type will display most viewed images from the selected category. If the "Include Child Galleries" paramater is set to yes, most viewed images will also be selected from categories that are children of the selected category.

The Include Child Galleries parameter sets whether child categories will also be searched for the random, latest, highest rated, most commented, tagged, most viewed type.

The Show Menu Images parameter sets whether menu images should be shown if the selected category has child categories.

You can choose any Profile for the gallery, so if you want different settings for the gallery, you can create a profile just for this gallery.

Entering tags in the Tags paramater will limit the images the gallery displays to images that have one or more of these tags.

You can limit the amount of images shown with the Max Amount Images paramater.

The code will appear in the article, and when the article is viewed in the frontend, the gallery will display.

The plugin is a content plugin, which means it only works in Joomla articles, or in any other extensions that integrate with Joomla’s content plugin system.

If you have another extension that you would like the plugin to work with, but it does not, please have a look at this page: http://www.alltogetherasawhole.org/group/developers/forum/topics/running-joomla-content-plugins.

Usually it only takes one extra line of code to get the other extension to start using the content plugin system. The developer of the other extension may be able to assist you in finding the line that needs editing.

If the plugin code will not insert when you press the save button, please make sure you WYSIWYG editor is up to date. Old versions of JCE or Tiny Mce may not work with the gallery editor button.
