To enhance the functionality of photography websites that integrate PhotoShelter’s image archiving and e-commerce capabilities with WordPress’s publishing platform, I developed two widgets: the NiO PhotoShelter RSS Gallery widget and the NiO Dual Search Widget. These widgets can be downloaded below.
The NiO PhotoShelter RSS Gallery Widget reads the general RSS feed of a PhotoShelter archive or PhotoShelter gallery, and creates a gallery of image thumbnails with or without captions. The lay-out of the gallery can be formatted in many ways. The resulting gallery with latest images, is always up to date and links back to the images at PhotoShelter. For a more detailed explanation and examples, please see the widget’s information page. The download contains all source code, various sample pages as well as installation documentation.

This add-on enables an opacity animation effect on hovering thumbnails created by the widget. For a more detailed explanation and examples, please see the add-on’s information page. The download contains all source code as well as installation documentation.

When you use a Graph Paper Press theme for WordPress’s publishing platform and combine this with PhotoShelter’s image archiving and e-commerce capabilities, you may have noticed that there is no combined search option. As a result, you’ll always end up with two search input fields, each with their own styling and buttons. This widget combines the two searches. For a more detailed explanation and examples, please see the widget’s information page. The download contains all source code, various sample pages as well as installation documentation.
