Carousel Gallery (jQuery) for WordPress [Updated January 2010]
This plugin builds on the builtin WordPress gallery, and replaces any gallery inserted using the [gallery] tag with a neat jQuery powered carousel. By carousel it means you can browse through all the pictures in the gallery and they’ll slide from the right to the left and seamlessly start over at the end.
This right above is a demo. Take it for a spin!
The plugin uses jQuery and a jQuery plugin called jCarousel.

Further Development
Due to my busy schedule, development on this plugin is intermittant and not quite as often as it deserves. Fortunately, the plugin is open source. Are you an experienced plugin developer willing to lend some love, then you’re welcome to get co-ownership of this plugin. Let me know.
[Update]: Added an IE “loop bug” fix. Thanks to Luqman Amjad.

Now im trying to make a replica of my old website with wp as Cms.. so ewerithing is fine except 1 thing the ..
class=’carousel-controls jcarousel-control_”
i know should be possible to instead of displaying all thumbnails witch slows my browser down over 100 images …
i just van use a dot which is an html symbol • and show witch slide is .active {}
the problem if i get it right is with this part of the script in / incarousel-gallery-jquery.php / file…
——————————————————————————————————————————————
/**
* Add thumbnail navigation
*/
$output .= “ID.”‘>\n”;
$n = 1;
if (get_option(‘cgj_thumbnail_size’) && get_option(‘cgj_thumbnail_size’) != “”) {
$thumb_size = array(get_option(‘cgj_thumbnail_size’), get_option(‘cgj_thumbnail_size’));
} else {
$thumb_size = ‘thumbnail’;
}
foreach ( $attachments as $id => $attachment ) {
$link = wp_get_attachment_link($id, $size, true);
$output .= “ID.”\”>”.$n.”" . wp_get_attachment_image( $id, $thumb_size ) . “•\n”;
$n++;
}
$output .= ”;
/**
* End

also : wrap: ‘circular’, dos not work with : wrap: ‘both’, is it any special reason why?
thanx!
Hi! great plugin!
Is it possible to have the Carousel Gallery without the circular?
thanx !
This plugins upload all the images at the same time , It effects on the page load time. Is it possible to upload one large image at one time?
I think you’re referring to Image Symlinks, and I’ve noted that on the “ToDo list”. The solution for now, is to upload no more than 3 or four at a time.
Hello, thanks for your work!
I’ve got one question though: is it possible to have the respectively shown picture link to its (bigger) original as it is done with the “vanilla” (that is unchanged/built-in) gallery? It would be great to have the rotation done by the links “next/previous” and the possibility to get to the original directly.
Thanks in advance!
Nicole,
did you get managed the lightbox function? Or someone else? I am stuck. Thanks in advance!
Great plugin thanks a lot it was just what I needed. I had a couple of ideas of extensions you may want to think about when you have time work on it. It would be great to have an option to show the thumbnails or not in the settings screen. Also wondered if there could be an option to show ‘Image 1 of 13′ type thing :)
Hi, great plugin, I’ve used it one a couple of sites now. I’m currently trying to use on wordpress 3.1 and getting this error.
jCarousel: No width/height set for items. This will cause an infinite loop. Aborting…
This despite having set the width and height for items.
Anyone know why this is?
