Smooth Gallery Replacement

Smooth Gallery Replacement will replace your standard WordPress galleries (using the gallery-shortcode) with JonDesign’s SmoothGallery.

There are two other plugins for running SmoothGallery in WordPress: “SmoothGallery”, which requires manual markup to be added to your posts. And “NextGEN Smooth Gallery”, which requires you to use the NextGEN Gallery plugin.

This plugin is a self contained drop-in that requires no effort from you and no changes to your blog. It degrades gracefully for non-JavaScript browsers and removing the plugin leaves your galleries working just like they did before.

Be warned: SmoothGallery is built on MooTools and will not work if you run Scriptaculous on your blog.

2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
3. Configure the gallery in Settings -> Smooth Gallery R.

IT DOESN’T WORK!

SmoothGallery is built on the MooTools JavaScript framework, which is incompatible with the Scriptaculous library bundled with WordPress. If you’re currently using Scriptacolous, this plugin will not be of any joy for you.
