Usage
Easy Image Display provides 3 ways of displaying images; widget, shortcode and template tag. Each method accepts the same options and will result in the same display.
Widget
The Easy Image Display widget is the easiest way to display your images. The basic settings allow you to control image size, order and number. More advanced settings are collapsed by default to provide a simple uncluttered interface.
Choose your options, hit save, and rejoice.
Shortcode
To display images inside a post or page rather than a widget area, you need a shortcode.
Default settings:
<pre><code>[sb_easy_image]
</code></pre>
Custom settings:
<pre><code>[sb_easy_image num="1" order="random" link="lightbox"]
</code></pre>
Template tag
The template tag is available for users who are confident in adding code to theme files, and need to display images outside of the widget areas or main content area. The following function can be added anywhere in your theme files.
Default settings:
<pre><code><?php sb_easy_image(); ?>
</code></pre>
Custom settings:
<pre><code><?php

$args = array(
 "num" => "1",
 "order" => "random",
 "link" => "lightbox",
);

sb_easy_image( $args );

?>
</code></pre>

Easy Image Display

A handy plugin if you need such a function. Very well conceived and useful options. I like the ability to show column of images in widget and to choose with images size to choose.



Very good
