<p>Galleria Galleria is a fork of <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/photo-galleria/" rel="ugc">Photo Galleria</a> that is designed to minimize resources and selectively load javascript. This plugin will only load javascript on pages that actually have a gallery. Galleria Galleria also keeps standard gallery styling if javascript is not enabled.  Beyond that, this plugin is built using the <a href="http://galleria.aino.se/" rel="nofollow ugc">Galleria javascript library</a> that allows for advanced theming and customization.</p>

<h4>Gallery Shortcode</h4>
<p>This plugin uses the standard [gallery] shortcode to create slideshows. It also adds support for a per gallery height attribute in the format [gallery height=500] to create a gallery with a height of 500px.</p>
<h4>Custom Galleria Themes</h4>
<p>The <a href="http://galleria.aino.se/" rel="nofollow ugc">Galleria javascript library</a> uses themes to style your galleries. If you would like to customize the build-in themes or use a <a href="http://galleria.aino.se/themes/" rel="nofollow ugc">paid theme</a> add a <code>galleria-themes</code> directory inside your WordPress theme directory (make sure to place your galleria theme javascript file directly within the <code>galleria-themes</code> directory.) When you visit the Galleria Galleria settings page your javascript file will appear in the design dropdown menu.</p>

<p>FancyBox Gallery integrates the FancyBox jQuery plugin into the WordPress<br />
gallery functionality. Simply use the gallery shortcode to display<br />
thumbnails in your posts with the option to link directly to the images (not<br />
the attachment template), and the plugin handles the rest. You get nice<br />
popups for the larger sized images, scaled to fit in the browser window,<br />
with a nice overlay effect.</p>
<h4>Features:</h4>
<ul>
<li>Automatically scales large images to fit in window</li>
<li>Adds a nice drop shadow under the zoomed item</li>
<li>Groups related items and adds navigation through them (uses preloading)</li>
</ul>
<p>FancyBox jQuery features, not yet implemented in the WordPress plugin:</p>
<ul>
<li>Can display images, inline and iframed content</li>
<li>Customizable through settings and CSS</li>
</ul>
<h3>ToDo</h3>
<ul>
<li>Add a settings screen. Allow control of FancyBox display options.</li>
<li>Let user set their own CSS selector, instead of assuming the standard<br />
WordPress shortcode.</li>
</ul>
