Image gallery specific to articles

I have divided the site up into 5 sections and have 3-4 categories per section.

However I have one problem. One of the sections doesnt use categories and needs a different gallery of article images per article.

Ex.

I am in the Widgets section.

article Spacely Sprockets Spacely Sprockets Gallery
article Coswell Cogs Coswell Cogs Gallery

typically I would just insert
<txp:article_image /> in the article form.

However, I need each article to have an option of scrolling through multiple images.

Ex.

[][][][][][][][][][][] Im an image [][][][][][][][][][][] <Previous Image Next image>

So in a way it would be setup to navigating articles except it is navigating images within an article specific to that one article.

I hope I made some sense. Thanks for reading this and taking a look, even if you don’t know what I am rambling about. :)

Re: Image gallery specific to articles

Take a look at these plugins:

bos_image_display

ike_slideshow

If you’d consider having thumbnails there’s also:
rss_thumbpop

It’s got loads of configuration options.

Hope that helps.

Also check out wet_for_each_image which might be useful if you group your images well.

If that or the ones masa suggested don’t meet your needs and you can wait a few days for me to tidy, test and release the code, smd_gallery should be able to help with that particular problem *mysterious music plays*

Re: Image gallery specific to articles

Thank you for all your help!

I am going to try ike’s slideshow since it seems to be the only one that does close to what I want. However I do look forward to the secret release :)

Thanks again!
