SSP Director Tools
This Plugin uses the SSP Director API to pull content from SlideShowPro Director.
Features:
- Insert a single image from SSP Director into a post using a shortcode.
- Insert a photo grid with multiple images from SSP Director into a post using a shortcode. Query SSP Director for albums, galleries, tags and configure the sorting of the output. Photo grids with random images are possible.
- Insert widgets into your theme if you want to display a photo grid in a widget area.
- Sizing and image handling are according to your default settings but can be overridden by shortcode attributes.
- Use image metadata provided by SSP Director for formatting image captions.
- Enable/disable photo feed functionality which generates an encrypted RSS photo feed URL for photo grids.
- Use FancyBox to display photos in lightbox style.

Example:
[sspd gallery="6" limit="10" tags="technology" sort_on="captured_on" sort_direction="DESC"]: This will output the 10 most recent photos of gallery 6 which are tagged with "technology".Using captions
Image captions are automatically generated using image metadata. You can define different captions for preview images and images presented by FancyBox. Use placehoders like %placeholder% in your caption definitions and define how dates will be formatted.
List of allowed placeholders:
%caption%: The image caption as provided by Director. If the caption is not set in Director, the IPTC caption is used instead.%byline%: The IPTC byline%city%: The IPTC city%country%: The IPTC country%date%: The image capture date from the EXIF record
Date formatting: Use common PHP date formats.
Using HTML in your captions: You may use the following HTML elements and attributes:

Example: %caption% (%date%)
Photograph by %byline%
Known Issues
- A bug in the Director API v. 1.5.0 beta generates a wrong result when a query with multiple tags is done. See SSP Director Forum.
- photo grids and photo feeds don’t work for smart galleries and albums. (Seems to be a Director bug.)
- The plugin currently doesn’t check if the photo feed feature is installed correctly.
- The photo feeds don’t show the real sizes of the downloadable enclosures, but the sizes of the originals.
