And I think some of them are so good, I have to implement them immediately – and when they work out, I just can’t wait to release a new version. Sorry! So here it is; YouTube SimpleGallery 1.5 with a small batch of user requested features.

New features in this version include:

  • Option for thumbnail size: using the largest thumbnail available from YouTube (480×360), users can now define the desired width of the thumbnails on the Settings Page.
  • Option for columns: Defining the number of thumbs that fits in one row within their current theme, users can define the numbers of thumbs per row. Rows will be broken with clear: both; avoiding broken galleries due to long titles, etc. The number of columns can also be defined for each gallery, using [youtubegallery cols=x], overriding the default settings.
  • Style option for titles: Users can now define, from the Settings Page, their own CSS styles for the titles.

Again I owe a debt of gratitude to the user base, who provide invaluable feedback and suggestions, helping me develop YouTube SimpleGallery further and further, and (hopefully) continually making it better. Thank you all! Keep the feedback coming!

I’ve just released Vimeo SimpleGallery, which is pretty much the little brother of YouTube SimpleGallery. It’s basically the YouTube SimpleGallery-plugin rewritten to eat Vimeo-URIs, instead of YouTube-URIs, and spit out a gallery.

If you’re familiar with YouTube SimpleGallery this one won’t seem different at all. They both work the same way, with pretty much the same options. The only difference is that the Vimeo-version can fetch video size and titles from Vimeo automatically, as with the YouTube-version you had to define both manually.

Here’s how it works:

Add the following code:

[vimeogallery]
http://vimeo.com/14815990
http://vimeo.com/13470805
http://vimeo.com/14844291
http://vimeo.com/14736551
[/vimeogallery]

And you get:

It’s a simple little plug that lets Administrators set global «Screen Options» for all users of a WP-site (both existing and new ones) when adding/editing Posts and Pages and/or on the Dashboard – with an option to hide the «Screen Options»-tab if necessary.

The plugin came about as I increasingly saw a need to define screen options for users on sites I’m developing; very often I want to hide redundant meta boxes to reduce the clutter in Post- and Page-admin. It’s a time-consuming pain to do it manually for each and every user, so I whipped up a script that does this globally.

The plugin has been approved by WordPress.org and can be found in the Plugin Directory.

It’s been seven months since the last update of the YouTube SimpleGallery plugin. A lot has happened since then, not the least the release of WordPress 3.0. Since its first release in December 2009 the plug has been downloaded almost 3.500 times! Lately I’ve been getting a lot of e-mails with bugs – and I really appreciate that, keep it up! – especially about broken thumbnails, and sometimes about problems with Thickbox.

I’ve tried to eliminate all these bugs in this latest version, and hopefully I’ve been able to do that. But YouTube is huge, and I can’t test every video on it with my plug, so feedback from its users are invaluable.

Also, I’ve added an option to use Shadowbox JS instead of Thickbox. This seems like a smart move since development of Thickbox has been discontinued (the Thickbox option is kept, though, for backwards compatibility). Personally I like Shadowbox a lot better than Thickbox, especially when using titles. I hope Shadowbox will work better (e.g. in terms of conflict with other plugins), and that YouTube SimpleGallery has been ever better!

Oh yeah, I’ve also decided to move it out of beta, since I now feel confident it’s a working and usable plugin. So head over and download it, or go to your WP-Dashboard and upgrade it!  As always, any feedback is appreciated!
