faq:
WP Smart Image works with custom fields?
No. Using custom fields to show associated images is a wrong method. Yes, it is relatively famous, but is wrong. WordPress has a very advanced ways to control posts images. However, saying is not the same than do it, because many times it is some difficult to achieve tha we want in this area. WP Smart Images simply makes this work a quite more easy to you.
WP Smart Image adds many data in my DB?
Noup. This plugins uses all existing post data you have been entered through Wordpress Editor. Only creates a little field in options table to save your settings.
How can I settings my images to be shown?
Upload the images through your edition panel (required for database file association).
In the Gallery section drag the image you want to show to the first position, then it will be shown, even if you dont use it in the content.
Thats it.
Hey, I cant see the widget in my editor!
Just activate the checkbox for option "Activate editor box" through Settings page. Save your settings.
This new widget disables my previous settings?
Absolutely not. Your old settings remains intacts.
Can I customize the tag for better control of my layout?
Yes. Please read the first step guide of WP Smart Image
Where I must to place the tag?
You should place the tag into the loop (see screenshot #3 for a graphic example)
I can place the parameters in an unordered way?
Yes, you can combine parameters without an specific order. Logically some parameters may not appear depending of your settings. For example, a "rel" attribute will not shown in an unlinked image, because "rel" is a property of links. In cases like this, if you set wrong parameters the plugin simply ignore them and works anyway.
All parameters are right to all situations?
You must to read the parameters table to setting your combo correctly. If you have a Stric DTD site and if you activate a "target _blank", of course youll ruin your standard. If you add a fixed IDs to several images or links, you are proceeding in a wrong way.
Otherwise, if you are trying to implement some javascript/ajax toy defining "rel" or "id" parameters , you are in a good way to achieve what you want, depending of your intentions.
Can I find direct support about WP Smart Image?
Sure. You can find direct support at: English users | Spanish users
... and of course starting a new topic in Wordpress.org forum.
"Dario, you forgot to add certain function..."
Please let me know youre thinking through any of ways above. Thank you!.
"Im a programming guru and I think you can modify this string in this way..."
All your suggestions are welcome. Thank you!.

UPGRADE INSTRUCTIONS
Most files have been updated, so the best thing to do is to delete the old installation and reinstall from scratch. If you made any UI customizations to the stylesheet, backup dm-albums/ui/styles.css before updating, and copy it back after updating. Then update your original dm-albums/ui/styles.css with the code in the following style sheet:
http://dutchmonkey.com/products/dm-albums/dm-albums.update.css.
Remember to empty your browsers cache in order to make sure you get all the new files loaded!
DutchMonkey Productions always recommends that you backup up your entire DM Albums installation before installing the updated version in order to ensure you can revert back to the previous version in case you liked it better!
faq:
I updated my plugin through automatically through wordpress, and now my pictures are missing!
DutchMonkey Productions does not recommend storing your pictures in the dm-albums plugin directory. WordPresss automatic upgrade service appears to delete the plugin and then downloads and installs a fresh copy. If your photos are in the plugin directory (.../wp-plugins/dm-albums/) that means all your pictures will also be deleted. So, its best to store your pictures somewhere outside the plugin directory where they are safe from the upgrade service!

Misc Bug Fixes
The DM Albums Admin Panel Complains That There Is Not Enough Memory and My Images Dont Load
DM Albums takes high resolution images and scales (and caches) them for the viewing area. The issue with memory is base on the fact that JPEGs, PNGs, and other compressed image formate are quite large when you open them. Since they are uncompressed in memory, their size is a function of their dimension and color depth plus overhead.
The best solution is to increase the amount of memory a PHP script is allowed to consume; this can be done by updating the PHP.ini files memory_limit value. (DM Albums attempts to do this automatically, but some server configurations ignore this.)
If you are on a shared host which doesnt allow changing PHP.ini settings or you dont want to update this value for other reasons, you can get around this limitation by loading smaller photos into DM Albums. (Finding a photo dimention that works on your server will be a trial-and-error process.
How can I change the look of DM Albums?
The layout of DM Albums can be changed the DM Ablums Admin Panel, while the color scheme can be edited using CSS by editing the style sheet found in the dm-albums/ui directory (/wp-content/plugins/dm-albums/ui/styles.css).
When I try to load DM Albums I get an error box saying "Error: Directory does not exist or can not be accessed."
DM Albums is most likely not configured correctly.
The error is due to the fact that the directory mapping for your Home Directory Setting and the album location specified in currdir dont resolve to an actual folder location. DM Albums takes in a parameter called "currdir" via the URL (in the case of the DM Ablums Admin Panel preview, dm-albums.php?currdir=/wp-content/plugins/dm-albums/preview/). This lets you point dm-albums to any directory on your server. DM Albums then takes the currdir parameter and combines it with the Home Directory parameter set in the DM Ablums Admin Panel to find the absolute filesystem path to the photo album directory so that it can properly process the photos.
I get an error message: "Warning: mkdir() [function.mkdir]: Permission denied..."
In order to utilize its state-of-the-art caching algorithm, DM Albums requires write-access to the directory containing your photo album. In most cases, this means the directory permissions for the directory containing the photo album needs to be set to 0755. You can accomplish this via a command line by typing chmod -R 755 directory. (0755 is prefectly safe premission to set on a web-accessible directory.)
In rare cases, 0755 is not enough, in those cases the folders permissions may need to be set to 0777.
I get an error message: "Warning: mkdir() [function.mkdir]: Invalid argument in..."
There was a bug in all DM Albums versions up to 1.2 which caused this error when DM Albums was running on a PHP installation on a Windows Server. This bug has been fixed in release 1.2.
I installed the plugin, but I get the following error: Call to undefined function get_option()
The zip file for the plugin contains an extra folder. when properly installed, the folder/file structure of the folder at /wp-content/plugins/ should look like this:
[] dm-albums
dm-albums.php
screenshot-1.png
screenshot-2.png
readme.txt
Note: the folder dm-albums contains 5 folders: javascript, php, preview, template, ui and four php files: config.php, dm-adminoptions.php, dm-albums.php, security.php
To correct this problem, follow these instructions:
Log into the WordPress admin panel and deactivate DM Albums. THIS IS IMPORTANT!!
Move dm-albums.php, readme.txt, and the two screen shots from /wp-content/plugins/dm-albums/ to /wp-content/plugins/
Move everything in the folder /wp-content/plugins/dm-albums/dm-albums to /wp-content/plugins/dm-albums (there should only be one dm-albums folder under the plugins directory) so that when youre done, the path /wp-content/plugins/dm-albums/ contains five folders (javascript, php, preview, template, ui) and 4 php files (config.php, dm-adminoptions.php, dm-albums.php, and security)
Log into the WordPress admin panel and active the DM Albums plugin
Configure DM Albums using the admin panel at Options > DM Albums
