The concept is simple.
You want to add image galleries inside your articles (content items)!
1. First set the "Root folder" of all galleries in the plugin's settings. By default it's the "root" folder.
2. Now create a new folder anywhere inside your root folder, for example call it mygallery and upload there all your images.
3. Go ahead and create a new content item (or open an existing one) and simply insert
{ boncko}/mygallery/{/boncko} or
{ boncko msg="title different from default" music="mymp3.mp3"}/mygallery/{/boncko}, where you want your image gallery to appear inside your text. It doesn't have to be at the end of your article, it can be anywhere you insert it inside your content item.
WARNING: no space beetween { and boncko
That's it! Fire up your favorite browser, navigate to the above content item et voila! An image gallery inside your content item!
You can have as many galleries as you want inside each content item, since caching takes care of performance.
If you want to create a gallery from subfolders inside the ROOT folder, simply add them like this:
{ boncko}/folder/subfolder/othersubfolder/{/boncko}.
In other words, write the path to your target folder with slashes at the beginning and at the end of your path.
You can create gallery from more folders just writing something like this
{ boncko}/mygallery/¦/mygallery2/{/boncko}
Don't forget to adjust the width and height of the thumbnails. Decreasing the width means you are adding more thumbnails in each row of the gallery. So, experiment before going public.
For performance issues, prefer not to use more than 5 - 10 images per content item, otherwise you're just overweighing your pages.You can change your default plugin parameter specify new value inside boncko tag, e.g.
Dir: /home/boncko/public_html/home/images/stories/mygallery inesistente
replace default gallery title with title different from default.
