Hello,

I am new to Monstra so thought the best way to figure out how it works was to create a plugin.
First I must say thanks to Awilum for creating such a great CMS.

This is purely front end, there is no script to manage the images. Though for myself I have tweaked Monstra's File Manager to automatically create thumbnails when images are uploaded.. I guess that's a basic manager of sorts.

Usage:

• The plugin scans the specified folder in /public/uploads/ to to create the gallery, there needs to be a folder called thumb/ containing the   thumbnails of the images in the parent folder (thumbnail name matches image name)

• 3 blocks needed to be created in Monstra.
  

  • 1 to contain the gallery wrapper template

  • 1 which is used for each image

  • 1 to use as a break in the gallery (optional) e.g. if after every 4 images you need a new row

  The name of the relevant blocks is set via the shortcode or php call

Details of use and shortcodes are in the readme.md, I would upload images but there aren't really any as you specify the presentation via the blocks.

Hopefully this first foray into Monstra Plugins/ contribution is of some use.. as you don't always need a full blown gallery app.
Feedback welcome.
