The CategoryGallery extension implements a <categorygallery> tag creating a gallery of all images in a category.

Installation[edit source]

Download and place the file(s) in a directory called CategoryGallery in your extensions/ folder.

Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php:

require_once "$IP/extensions/CategoryGallery/CategoryGallery.php";

Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.

If you want to show a gallery of all images in category Foo, do this:

<categorygallery cat="foo"/>

You can abbreviate it as catgallery:

<catgallery cat="foo"/>

The categorygallery tag itself takes several additional parameters, specified as attribute name-value pairs:

<catgallery {parameters}/>

caption="{caption}": (caption text between double quotes for more than a word) sets a caption centered atop the gallery.
widths={width}px: sets the widths of the images, default 120px. Note the plural, widths
heights={heights}px: sets the (max) heights of the images.
perrow={integer}: sets the number of images per row. 0 means automatically adjust based on width of screen
showfilename={anything}: Show the filenames of the images in the individual captions for each image (1.17+)
bdpcaption={property}: Show the metadata of the images in the individual captions for each image (requires Extension:BedellPenDragon)
