Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity.

Overview

About this plugin

The Dock – as anyone familiar with a Mac knows – is a set of icons that expand when rolled over with the cursor. This plugin

mimics that behavior with WordPress post thumbnails, creating a visually-stunning set of links to other blog posts on any post

or page. 0, it can also be used to create an image gallery!

jqDock Post Thumbs can be used to display posts, pages, or custom post types, provided post thumbnails are enabled in the current

theme. It can also be used to display images attached to the current post, or by post ID.

How To Use

[jqdpostthumbs]

This shortcode will create a Dock with five random post thumbnail links.

Control Number of Thumbnails

[jqdpostthumbs qty="10"]

The qty option can be set to any number you like. Your page width will help you determine your maximum. As a point of reference,

a page that is 850px wide with no sidebar looks good at qty="14".

Show Custom Post Type

[jqdpostthumbs type="my-custom-post-type"]

The type option can be set to page, or to the name of any custom post type.

0)

[jqdpostthumbs notitle="true"]

Prevent the title of the post from appearing over the thumbnail using this shortcode.

0)

[jqdpostthumbs order="ASC" orderby="title"]

Control the order in which post thumbnails are displayed using these options. The only valid choice for order is ASC;

default is DESC. For orderby, you can choose: none, ID, author, title, date, modified, parent, comment_count,

or menu_order; default is rand.

0)

[jqdgallery]

Show a random set of 5 image thumbnails attached to the current post, which link to the full size images.

Control Number of Thumbnails

[jqdgallery qty="10"]

Same as with post thumbnails, the qty option can be set to any number you like. Your page width will help you determine your

maximum. As a point of reference, a page that is 850px wide with no sidebar looks good at qty="14".

0)

[jqdgallery id="10"]

Set the post ID to show images attached to a specific post/page. Defaults to the current post/page.

0)

[jqdgallery notitle="true"]

Same as with post thumbnails, prevent the title of the image from appearing over the thumbnail using this shortcode.

0)

[jqdgallery target="blank" class="my-class" rel="my-rel"]

This may be useful if you want to combine jqDock Image Gallery with a Lightbox plugin that requires a special class or rel.
