cmsplugin_gallery_filer adds simple gallery plugin to your djangoCMS installation

Features:

• Drag&Drop reordering of photos in the plugin admin
• Unlimited, auto-discovered custom templates - you can change template of given gallery at anytime, use javascript galleries etc.
• Uses django-filer for storing images.

This plugin is a fork of http://github.com/centralniak/cmsplugin_gallery to add filer support. To get a django-filer free version go to the original plugin by Piotr Kilczuk.

Contributions and comments are welcome using Github at: http://github.com/shagi/cmsplugin_gallery_filer

Please not that cmsplugin_gallery_filer requires:

• django-inline-ordering http://pypi.python.org/pypi/django-inline-ordering/
• easy-thumbnails http://pypi.python.org/pypi/easy-thumbnails/
• django-filer http://pypi.python.org/pypi/django-filer/

1. pip install cmsplugin_gallery_filer
2. Add 'cmsplugin_gallery' to INSTALLED_APPS (if necessary)
3. Run syncdb or migrate cmsplugin_gallery if using South

1. Create directory for storing media files - files will be uploaded to MEDIA_ROOT + 'cmsplugin_gallery/images'. Make sure it is writable especially when running in embedded mode on production server.
2. Very simple template is included with the project. To make it work 100%, install jQueryTOOLS for overlay support using your favorite method http://flowplayer.org/tools/download/index.html

The easiest approach is to use a nice feature of cmsplugin_gallery -the template autodiscovery. In order to take advantage of it, add your custom templates in the cmsplugin_gallery subdirectory of any of template dirs scanned by Django.

If you don't want to use the autodiscovery, you can hardcode available templates in settings.py using following setting:

CMSPLUGIN_GALLERY_TEMPLATES = (
    ('app/template.html', 'Template #1', ),
    ('app/other_template.html', 'Template #2', ),
)

Embed as a typical plugin.
