**Status:** No longer active / archived ALBUM PLUGIN ------------ Author - Andrew Waters at band-x (andrew@band-x.org) This plugin allows website administrators to manage their digital images, which can then be displayed on the front end of the site. Images can be retrieved individually if you know the ID of the image, or as an 'album' (a collection of images) or by category (a collection of albums). Icons in this plugin are a mixture from Function and Web Injection icon packs: http://wefunction.com/2008/07/function-free-icon-set http://www.tutorial9.net/resources/free-icon-pack-web-injection/ REQUIREMENTS ------------ In order to run the plugin, you must have Wolf version 0.6.0 or later as it makes use of the new Dispatcher functionality in the core. You will also need to have GD Library installed into PHP as there is server side image manipulation involved. When you first visit the plugin, it will check the environment for you and display an error if there is a problem. HOW TO SETUP ------------ 1. Upload the plugin to your Wolf installed 'plugins' directory. 2. CHMOD the folder in /wolf/plugins/albums/files to 755 so that you can add images to your web server. 3. Install the plugin via the Administration section of your Wolf installation. 4. Visit the "Albums" tab in the admin area and configure the plugin to your specifications. 5.
