I just added it to CVS, so it should hit spartacus sometime in the next 24 hours, if sourceforge has everything fixed.
Details:
The Coppermine display is a slight modification of the "Coppermine Thumbnails" plugin by Matthew Maude.Offers the ability to display images in the sidebar. The source of the images is configurable. The plugin is able to connect to a Menalto Gallery "random" url, access a Coppermine database directly (MySql only) or access images in the Serendipity Media Library.
The Menalto display is a slight modification of the "Gallery Random Photo Block" plugin by Andrew Brown, and Tadashi Jokagi.
The modifications made to each plugin are merely to make them work within the framework of the new plugin, and do not change the general method of displaying images. There is no direct upgrade path. You will have to install the new plugin, configure it, and uninstall the old one (if you choose to upgrade).
The Serendipity Media display is a new method that displays images from directories under the serendipity "uploads" directory. This supports rotation based on time, limitation of directories, four different link methods (pop-up, in page, specified URL, or Usergallery page if installed) and several other features.
While I have tested the plugin to the best of my ability, it should be noted that I have been unable to do extensive testing on the plugin with regards to accessing a Coppermine gallery.
Please feel free to post any bugs, or to contact me directly, and I will attempt to fix them.
