Does anybody need a WordPress plugin which...
 

automatically parses 3rd-party webpages (say sponsor-hosted FHG's), finds all full-sized images there, uploads them to your host, crops the thumbnails, generates a standard WP gallery, inserts it into your post/page and also assigns a featured image (if you want it).

So, the only thing you will need to do to create a WordPress gallery from any 3rd-party HTML gallery (literally ANY) is to simple enter the target gallery's URL into the simple dialog box right in the visual WordPress post editor (there will be a special button for that).

Anybody needs such a plugin?

There is one - I had a clean out of my bookmarks so not sure it will be there - I will check...

Would be interesting to look at it. Please check your bookmarks.

Actually the CyberSEO plugin can do something similar, but it works with RSS/XML feeds only and doesn't allow to import the galleries from stand-alone HTML pages in manual mode while adding/editing the post/page.

Fuck, yes! I am using nextgen gallery plugin on my sites instead of standard WP but that would be perfect plugin to have. How you can be sure that it will crop properly since format of photos often varies on the same FHG?

Sorry, it must have one of the 100's of links I culled...

Thanks for the link. Just downloaded and tried it. First of all, it has some deprecated calls (not really essential):

Notice: admin-functions.php is deprecated since version 2.5! Use wp-admin/includes/admin.php instead. in /wp-includes/functions.php on line 3134 Notice: has_cap was called with an argument that is deprecated since version 2.0! Usage of user levels by plugins and themes is deprecated. Use roles and capabilities instead. in /wp-includes/functions.php on line 3193

Also it seems, the plugin just takes the full-sized images from the HTML pages, but not those linked from small thumbnails (like every FHG has). I;ve tried to fetch a random sponsor-hosted gallery (http://www.leggycash.com/angela/apr28_14/index.php) and got the dialog box saying: "Internal error".

I've asked if you are interested in easy in use (available right in the visual editor), universal (ANY image gallery can be imported*) and working solution.

* As an image gallery I assume any HTML site which contains any number of thumbnails linked to the full-sized images.

If it includes mass import via csv with post scheduling, I would.

sounds like a very interesting plugin, i'll keep an eye on this thread :)

It uses built-in WordPress cropper which works pretty fine for any images (portrait and/or landscape). Check this out: babesat.com. All the thumbs there are cropped by CyberSEO plugin which uses standard WordPress API. The plugin I'm going to release will do it in a same way.

The CyberSEO plugin does it. It just need the CSV file to be converted into RSS feed. This can be easily done by this simple script: http://www.cyberseo.net/forum/suppor...vertors/#p1744

On that site, I am getting:

Error establishing a database connection

Yêah had the same problem,I use your plugin though.
But a plugin that can do galleries I pick would be great.

Strange, opens just fine for me...

I'd love a plugin that does that.. free or reasonably priced.

Same here!

Anyone know good plugin that stop pinging???

sure if it makes a nice looking gallery.. would save me a little time ripping a gallery with httrack then uploading it into a post

scratch off free :1orglaugh

I would like one that would spider the links in my directory, screen cap 5 pages from target site have a ken burns type pan zoom on the captured images then upload to youtube as a video slide show.

Like this one? http://www.uusoftware.com/

Maybe with regular updates and support?

YES!

you have a demo?
also the site with thumbs posted are not so good (thumb quality wise)
best to do with imagemagick

You can assign the image compression quality. Also you can save them with doubled resolution etc to make look better.

I always provide free support to my scripts and update them regularry. Also I'm not going to sell that plugin for $100 :) It will be cheap (something about $20..$30), unlimited (can be used on as many domains as you want) and not encoded. Just like KVS Player Pro or xPinner.

Bookmarking this thread. Very interested to see what you come up with and I will buy a copy

Ahh - That's the one I had bookmarked...

I thought so.

I've tried it but it does galleries in it's own way. If you unistall it all the work is kinda lost.

Would be nice a plugin like CyberSEO wants to do

The plugin is ready for sale. You can buy it here: http://www.cyberseo.net/gallery-magic/

The plugin is very easy in use. Add a new post or open the existing one and click the ?Gallery Magic Shortcode? button (marked with a red square on the picture below).

http://www.cyberseo.net/image/img/gallery-magic-1.jpg

The ?Gallery Magic? popup box will appear. Enter the URL of the HTML page which does contain a gallery you want to copy, then click the ?Insert Gallery Magic Shortcode? button.

http://www.cyberseo.net/image/img/gallery-magic-2.jpg

The gallery shortcode will be inserted into your post.

Now simple save or update the post and Vualá, your gallery is here!

I'm sorry, but this PISSES ME OFF.

I was told by you in a gfy thread that cyberseo already was capable of doing pretty much same thing as this, thus why we bought it.. was sadly disappointed to find out it not only does NOT do this, but also takes hiring a fucking programmer to do anything with it. Just getting youtube to do what we wanted was a pain in the ass. And the built-in spinner.. yeah.. a custom list worth it's salt crashes everytime it tries to spin.. useless.

To me, it was a wasted $200 to only be able to get a youtube channel to synch to blog, which many many free plugins can already do, and still have to manually spin everything.

if you add another plugin to your repository, please make it useful out of the box without insane amounts of customization/issues needed.

Not trying to be rude... just being honest

It does the same thing if you give it an RSS feed which contains links to the actual galleries (like this one). The CyberSEO plugin will parse it and make the galleries on autopilot. The only thing CyberSEO can't do is to insert galleries into the post i manual mode (in WP post editor).

Excuse me, but there is a ton of step-by-step manuals on the official support forum to do almost anything. Course youtube guide is also there.

I do believe you just not figured out on how to use it. CyberSEO is a professional script which reacquires a serious attitude. It's like Photoshop for WordPress. Everybody knows that Photoshop allows one to create amazing images, but not everyone has enough skills for that :2 cents:

Got a blog with demo access? Does it import into the built in wordpress gallery ?

It does create a standard WordPress galley and inserts it right into the post/page. Just like it's shown on the screenshots above.

Ordered it
 

I just put my order through. I'll post a review after trying it.

Your order has been processed.

The problem I face with similar products is that it seems to get caught up on lightbox galleries such as met-art etc. Not all just some, so maybe conflict with certain lightbox scripting? Just a thought.

No, there is no problem with Lightbox. Could you please give provide an URL of such a gallery? I'll test it with with the plugin.

did you any of the ideas i shared with you?? :helpme id like to see a working demo please

Sorry but I'm not sure I'm aware about the ideas posed by you. Could you please repeat them here? As about a working demo. What exactly do you want to see? I believe the screenshots shows the functionality of the plugin pretty well. You can replace the kitten gallery with an FHG provided by an affiliate program.

P.S. I've made a few sales from this thread and it would be nice if somebody will post a review here.

****Quick Review****
 

****Quick Review****

I've only been playing with it for about 20 minutes, but here are my findings so far.

Install
The script installed with ease. Activation was as simple as inputting the registrant's name and email address.

Use
It couldn't be simpler to use. The Gallery Magic button is easily found in the formatting menu at the top of the WordPress editor. I used both the button and copy/paste of the shortcode as methods of generating the post. The results were the same as if I had dragged and dropped into WordPress.

Performance
The script was quick to fetch the images from the FHG's. Of course, the speed will depend on the connection between your server and the other host's. Most galleries were fetched within 2-3 seconds, including thumbnail processing times.

Issues
Only one program's galleries wouldn't import. NastyDollars.com's galleries would only import the first image, but that could be some form of protection on their end, a communication issue, or something else.

Remember that the images have to be DIRECTLY linked, so no images from galleries that embed the images in attachment pages. That also means no pulling galleries from affiliate hosts like LinkBucks, ImageFap, or similar free hosts (how about an anti-container add-on???).

Improvements
I would love to see an anti-container add-on, like that of DownThemAll or Bulk Image Downloader, as either a free or paid add-on.

Perhaps an option to keep it from posting if no images are found or scraped, to prevent empty galleries.

Final Thoughts
The script did exactly what it said it would. Installation through first completed gallery took about 60-90 seconds. Success rate (other than NastyDollars) was 100% when images were linked directly.

It's definitely worth the $30, if you're looking to use FHG content on your site, while still having unique pages.

Note
This IS NOT a compensated review. I am a CyberSEO user and have been for years, but that in NO WAY influenced this review. It did however influence my decision to buy this script, as I've had very good luck generating sites/traffic with CyberSEO.

I bought it also,
nothing more to add to schiz review, a good script that is definately worth its money.

Thanks for you guys for your reviews/posts :thumbsup

schiz could you please give me an example of the NastyDollars FHG you were unable to import. I wanna play with it.

Updated review
 

****Updated Review****

Having been unable to recreate the NastyDollars issue with FHG's, I'm guessing it was just a connection between my host and theirs. I've successfully fetched more than a dozen galleries from the ND servers without issue.

My apologies for the issues I had earlier.

*Note* I couldn't find a place to edit the original post, so I'm either blind or there's a time limit on it.

:)

Sounds cool.

Hmm, not sure that I've got your question. You can insert the gallery into any existing post. Just open it in a visual editor, put the shortcode where you want and click the "Update" button. The shortcode will be replaced with the actual gallery and you'll see it in the editor.

i still have the pms just checking :) when users click the thumbs do they go to the full url of the image?

Sorry, CyberSEO. I meant that I couldn't find the edit on GFY, so I must have exceeded the time limit to edit. Gallery Magic works exactly as touted.

Just got my copy. Thank you

The full-sized image or WP gallery will be open, depends on your settings (note the "link to" option there).
