Using Lazyest Gallery version 1.1.0 or higher? You could benefit from the new Lazyest Gallery API by installing the Lazyest Widgets plugin.
In future releases I will not add any new widgets to the Lazyest Gallery core plugin. This Widgets pack is going to include them.
It is recommended to use these widgets instead of those included in the Lazyest Gallery plugin. Using AJAX to get the images will decrease the page compile and load time.
The following widgets are included in the Lazyest Widgets plugin:
-
Recent Images Widget
Shows the latest images you have added to your gallery.
How does it work
Each time, you upload a new image to your gallery, Lazyest Gallery adds a serial number to this image.
This widgets will search images starting at the highest serial number and down.
It will normally find the most recent uploaded image. However, it will not find the images with the latest image date.
Images will be fetched by AJAX. -
Recent Images Slideshow
Cycles through the latest images you have added to your gallery.
