This is a MediaWiki extension that I wrote because I wanted to be able to include multiple thumbnails from a Gallery2 gallery running on a different server than the one where the MediaWiki is installed. It uses the Gallery Remote protocol to fetch the image urls from Gallery. Right now it only supports a new MediaWiki tag, <randomalbum>, that allows for the display of an arbitrary number of random photos from the album to be displayed. It only has the support I needed in order to build the site for the Plan-It-X Fest Tour 2005 Documentation Project Wiki (http://pixfestdoc.terrorware.com}
If you find this software useful, encounter a bug, or would like to see more features, please contact me at geoff@terrorware.com.
For a more full-featured integration of Gallery as a backend to MediaWiki, check out the Gallery2wiki extension which allows for the manipulation of albums within MediaWiki. I wrote this extension because Gallery2wiki doesn't support the display of an "album" and I don't know if it will work for a remote gallery.
To activate this extension, include it from your LocalSettings.php with:
