<h3>Shortcode Usage</h3>
To display your gallery anywhere on your site, use the following shortcode:
[petruth_smart_gallery]
This default shortcode will render the gallery using all the settings (columns, color, and visibility of the search/filter) defined in the plugin’s Admin settings page.
Custom Attributes (Overriding Admin Settings)
You can override the default Admin settings for specific instances of the gallery using the following optional attributes:
Homepage Gallery (4 columns, limited to 8 items, no filters/search): [petruth_smart_gallery columns=”4″ qty=”8″ show_filter=”no”]
You can insert the shortcode into:
Gutenberg blocks (Shortcode block)
Classic Editor
Elementor (Shortcode widget)
Or directly inside PHP templates using: echo do_shortcode(‘[petruth_smart_gallery]’);
<h3>External Services</h3>
Petruth Smart Gallery uses AI to generate intelligent image tittles, categories and description when set in the plugin settings. The plugin can still work without any AI API key.

Have a nice inner zoom on your gallery images. It shows only the images, no clickable thumbs, and shows an inner zoom onmouseover. The zoom effect depends heavily on the resolution of the image you have uploaded; a bigger original gives a better zoom effect.
There are two configuration options to add to the shortcode: 
1. the parameter ‘showsize’ and the desired size (thumbnail, medium or large): <code>[sabineszoom showsize=medium]</code> 
2. the parameter ‘thickbox’ with the value 1: <code>[sabineszoom thickbox=1]</code> 
or both: <code>[sabineszoom showsize=medium thickbox=1]</code>
If you want to use this gallery, simply use the [sabineszoom] shortcode in your post or page, or add <code><?php echo do_shortcode('[sabineszoom]'); ?></code> within the loop, to your template. 
By default the ‘large’ image is used, if you want the ‘medium’ or ‘thumbnail’ to show, add the parameter ‘showsize’ like so: <code>[sabineszoom showsize=medium]</code>. Valid options are thumbnail, medium and large.
This is my first plugin, originally build for a customer who couldn’t find a gallery plugin that fitted his needs exactly: 
no gallery of thumbnails that should be clicked on, this is just a list of the images attached to a post or page that have an inner zoom to the full image.
I used the jQuery plugin Image Zoom by elevate zoom for the inner zoom effect (see http://www.elevateweb.co.uk/image-zoom/examples#inner-zoom) .
Please let me know if you need help or have a feature request.
