Have you seen photomatt's asides? I use something similar at my site. I have a plugin that will put them on the side of the blog with dates and all. Just have to make a sideblog category. Let me know if you want it.

i have hubby working on a plugin/hack for photos…
he has a random picture plugin done right now. and we have something that i just copy and paste for pop-up pictures from the thumbnail. i've torn apart the upload.php and admin-function.php trying to figure out the best way to get the picture upload all nicey-nice.
he's going to slap it all together into something usable soon (hopefully!)

Well – if some of these things have already been DONE -that that'll make my job easier!! 😀

Monique – Does he want to do a guest authored post when he's done?

Vincent – I'll take a look when I get a moment. Do you already offer the plugin on your site? Would you want to do a guest authored post?

What about a photo gallery feature/plugin similar to the links feature of WordPress. Upload and thumbnails already exist in WP, A management screen like the links manager right inside of WordPress and organization of images via categories is perfect. Each category could essentially be used as an album. Image paths and details could be stored in a table just like the links are. And added template tags would allow you to add it into your site however you want.

Well, it wasn't mine. I'm not sure who did it, but I can found out – its in the plugin file. I made a few adjustments so it worked easier out the box. Sure, I can post it if you like.

Here's what I use:

Show Categories

If this gets jumpled, I'll send it to you proper. (I'm not sure how to guest author something.)

Just drop it in your plugins folder, activate and call it like this:

<?php show_category_posts('1',",",",'15'); ?>

where values are (category_id, title, sort_order, sort_field, limit)

Then you just use regular loop commands.

I use this:

<li id="side__blog"><?php echo show_category_posts('17',",'DESC',",'10'); ?>
<ul>
<?php if ($scp_posts) : foreach ($scp_posts as $post) : start_wp(); ?>

<?php the_date(",'<small><b>','</b></small>'); ?>
<li><a href="<?php the_content_rss() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php echo $post->post_excerpt ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a> <span class="sidecomments"><?php comments_popup_link(__('(0)'), __('(1)'), __('(%)')); ?></span></li>

<?php endforeach; ?>
<?php else: ?>
<p><?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>
</ul>
</li>

Just to reference the "respond to comment" option I added just now – see this thread on the support boards

Hey Jennifer,

Of the plugins you listed, these were the plugins and hacks I know that are written already.

Photologs
Pictorialis II: WordPress PhotoGallery System
Exhibit

Sticky Posts
Sticky Post Plugin

Popup Photo
Plugin: Image Browser

One thing I haven't seen in WordPress yet is the preview comment hack you had in your MT. That was really nice. 😀

Actually, to clarify a little- Exhibit is a WordPress plugin that does most of what Pictoralis does as a standalone application. It can also popup images.

I would really like to see a script that produces RSS for all new posts and new comments to old posts.

Create a plugin or hack to turn on moderation after X amount of time. I would love to have that feature!

I'll second David's suggestion, and add a few other comment features I'd like as well:

– After x number of days, comments are closed.

– Comments left on the moderation queue for x number of days are deleted.
