Coppermine Photo Gallery & WordPress

I have spent a fair amount of time looking for a plugin to display my Coppermine Photo Gallery images inside the WordPress GUI. As of today, the best sources on this include Rue Plumet’s CoppermineSC plugin and Cyberspice’s WordPress Coppermine Widget. I have passed over the

CoppermineSC plugin because it is not user friendly enough for my CMS WordPress environment – my website clients need to be able to use a plugin without ANY coding expience.

The best choice is the WordPress Coppermine Widget. The plugin author is currently updating the plugin code to add an option to pop-up the coppermine photo in a new window which would fix a bug I found using IE7.

Another very cool bit of informationwhich I must share is an excellent forum post detailing how to port a WordPress theme into a Coppermine Photo Gallery theme. See an example theme I ported for a clients website – use the sidebar navigation to switch from the client’s “picture gallery” (Coppermine) to their WordPress themed page links.
