How can i adjust the look of the Widget?

Just use the CSS-Class "wGallery" to alter the ul- or li-tags.

How can i get only the images of one/some categories?

Use the category-option include or exclude and enter the id's separated by comma
in the options of the widget.
Using include or exlcude causes more sql-queries and is slower than the base function.
You should only use it if you're blog doesn't have to much traffic and/or your
host can handle it

Why doesn't the images link to the parent article?

This option actually only works with "category-option" set to include or exclude.

Is it possible to show the images at any position in the theme (not only as widget)?

These functions are depreciated and will be deactivated soon, please use the object/methods, see below!

Yes, you can use the following code to include the images:

PHP-Code:

<?php if ( function_exists(get_attached_images) ) : ?>
<?php echo get_attached_images(maximages, [latest|random], [old|direct], css-class); ?>
<?php endif; ?>

for instance, 5 random images:

PHP-Code:

<?php if ( function_exists(get_attached_images) ) : ?>
<?php echo get_attached_images(5, 'random'); ?>
<?php endif; ?>

latest 7 images of the categories 1, 2 and 5, only 1 image per post/link to article (css: wGallery, relation: lightbox):

PHP-Code:

<?php if ( function_exists(get_attached_images) ) : ?>
<?php echo get_attached_images_by_categories(7, 'latest', '1,2,5', 'include', 'article', 'wGallery', 'lightbox', 'yes'); ?>
<?php endif; ?>

= How do i use the shortcodes? =

Latest 5 images linking to the attachment page (default option):

[getGWImages]

You could use the following parameters:
- max=int
- order='latest|random'
- linktype='direct|page'
- linkclass='css class'
- linkrel='relation for the link'

i.e. 3 random images with a link to the images:

[getGWImages max=3 order=random]

If you would like to use the category include/exclude options you have to use
this shortcode:

[getGWImages2]

The following parameters are possible:
- max=int
- order='latest|random'
- categories='comma separated list of category id's'
- option='include|exclude'
- linktype='direct|page'
- linkclass='css class'
- linkrel='relation for the link'
- singleimage='yes|no'

= Is it possible to show the images at any position in the theme (not only as widget)? =

Yes, you can use the following code to include the images:

PHP-Code:

<?php if ( is_object($galleryWidget) ) : ?>
<?php echo $galleryWidget->getAttachedImages(maximages, [latest|random], [old|direct], css-class, link-relation); ?>
<?php endif; ?>

for instance, 5 random images:

PHP-Code:

<?php if ( is_object($galleryWidget) ) : ?>
<?php echo $galleryWidget->getAttachedImages(5, 'random'); ?>
<?php endif; ?>

latest 7 images of the categories 1, 2 and 5, only 1 image per post/link to article (css: wGallery, relation: lightbox):

PHP-Code:

<?php if ( is_object($galleryWidget) ) : ?>
<?php echo $galleryWidget->getAttachedImagesByCategories(7, 'latest', '1,2,5', 'include', 'article', 'wGallery', 'lightbox', 'yes'); ?>
<?php endif; ?>

Attention: If you wan't to use the galleryWidget-object in a function (like the sidebar), you have to include the global variable $galleryWidget (add

PHP-Code:

global $galleryWidget; 


before if())
