Plugin Description
Auto Graphics Site Navigation with Gallery
This plugin simplifies the creation of graphically navigable Wordpress
sites, creating a list or tables of pages, posts, taxonomies, and
custom post types, selected in a variety of ways. Highly customizable
output using a variety of optional user-defined filters.
- Sites with nested pages can show a table of clickable thumbnails
of child pages, with size of the tables, and the number of rows,
automatically computed to fit, based on the thumbnail sizes.
- A table of posts selected by tag, category, or author can be
displayed in the same manner.
- Thumbnails of pictures, and the galleries of pictures added in
each page, can be automatically resized either through a single
default setting in the Wordpress administration page, or by
specifying a size in each page. Missing thumbnails will be
automatically generated.
- A gallery of images can be created simply by placing them in a new
directory under the wp-content/uploads directory. Standard
command-line or FTP tools can then be used to move, rename, or
delete images.
- Output and page/post selection is extensible through the use of
filters.
- Works with WordPress’s standard attachment mechanism, and with
J. Christopher’s “Attachments” plugin (see FAQ)
NOTE: If you experience errors or missing pages, try the previous
stable version
first, and then look in the support forum.
All previous versions are archived here.
The plugin is invoked with the [autonav] shortcode, with two basic modes:
NAVIGATION.
Creates a list or table of the current page’s child pages. Tables are
composed of linked thumbnail pictures (see “How is a Child Page’s
“Associated Image” determined?” in the FAQ). Example:
[autonav display="images" pics_only="1"]
displays a table of the current page’s child pages. Only child pages
that have associated pictures will be displayed. The table will have
3 or 4 columns depending on the default size of the thumbnails and
depending on the column settings in the Wordpress administration
screen.
GALLERY.
Creates one or more tables of linked thumbnail pictures based on the
current page’s attachments, or on specified directories of picture
files under the uploads directory. Examples:
[autonav display="attach"]
displays a table of images attached to the current post or page.
[autonav display="/project2" include="32,37,56"]
Displays a table, with a gallery of three pictures from the
wp-content/uploads/project2 directory, in the specified order.
[autonav ids="57,65"]
For compability with the
ids parameter introduced in
WordPress 3.5, displays a table of attachments with the exactly
specified attachment IDs.
Screenshots
-
Child pages displayed in two different ways, first as a list and
then as a table.
-
AutoNav used together with the Hierarchical Pages plugin on the
Fisher Shotcrete site. Along with the third screenshow, demonstrates
how graphical navigation of a large site can work.
-
Second-level page on the Fisher site. Note, with Hierarchical
Pages, only the pages that are “siblings” to the current page are
listed in the sidebar (otherwise there could be hundreds).
-
Demonstrating a “magazine style page template” where the first
attachment (a) is displayed at large size, the second (b) in a
medium, and all subsequent ones (c) as small thumbnails. Merely
reordering the attachments updates the page and creates any needed
thumbnails.
