SleekView Charts for Justified Image Grid
Justified Image Grid stores galleries as [justified_image_grid] shortcodes inside posts, pulling images from the WP media library, NextGEN, Flickr, or Facebook. SleekView Charts parses those shortcodes across the site and renders source mix, layout coverage, and adoption as chart cards.

From inline grids to a layout dashboard
Justified Image Grid (JIG) is a premium grid layout plugin that expresses every gallery as a [justified_image_grid] shortcode. Each shortcode carries attributes for source (ids, preset, flickr_user, facebook_id, ng_gallery), row height, last_row behaviour, max_rows, lightbox engine, and caption display. The plugin settings page handles defaults; there is no admin index of where shortcodes live or what configuration they use.
SleekView Charts reads wp_posts.post_content across the site, extracts every JIG shortcode, and pivots the attributes into chart-ready columns. Number cards count total JIG instances. Pie cards split shortcodes by source type or lightbox engine. Bar cards rank posts by JIG count or row-height bucket. Area cards trace JIG adoption across post_date so editorial teams see when grids landed.
The same parser feeds the SleekView table view, so a triage of inconsistent shortcodes is one click away from the layout dashboard. Defaults in wp_options stay exactly where JIG put them.

Comparison
Default Justified Image Grid reporting vs SleekView Charts
Default JIG admin
- No admin index of posts containing a JIG shortcode
- Source mix only visible per shortcode, never aggregated
- Row-height drift across shortcodes is invisible
- Lightbox engine coverage not surfaced anywhere
- Adoption trend over time has no admin view
SleekView Charts
- Donut of source mix across every JIG shortcode
- Row-height bucket ranking exposes design drift
- Monthly adoption trend as an area chart
- Single-number KPI for total JIG instances
- Same parser as the SleekView table, one click between layouts
Features
What SleekView Charts gives you for Justified Image Grid
Source mix at a glance
A donut of shortcodes by source. Confirms whether the NextGEN dependency, the Flickr feed, or the media library actually carries the JIG catalog.
Row-height drift exposed
A bar chart of row-height buckets reveals when editors copied old shortcodes and left the legacy heights in place. A tighten-up pass starts from the actual distribution.
Adoption over time
Area chart of JIG shortcodes per month surfaces when adoption peaked and whether the editorial team still reaches for JIG when adding new gallery posts.
Audience
Who builds Justified Image Grid charts dashboards with SleekView
Studios and agencies
Source-mix donut and row-height ranking together expose configuration drift across client sites. A monthly retainer report writes itself from the dashboard.
Editorial teams
Per-post JIG counts and lightbox coverage surface inconsistencies before a redesign. The team standardises on one row height and one lightbox instead of negotiating five.
Site migrators
Total JIG instances and adoption trend become the migration scope. A move to native gallery blocks tracks itself as the KPI shrinks.
The bigger picture
Why a configuration-heavy grid plugin deserves a chart layer
Justified Image Grid has been a go-to layout plugin for photo-heavy WordPress sites for over a decade, and its strength is the dozens of attributes each shortcode supports. The cost is that drift is invisible: every editor who copies an old shortcode brings the old row height, the old caption style, and the old lightbox forward with them. The plugin's settings page handles defaults but never tells the team how many shortcodes followed the defaults and how many overrode them.
SleekView Charts parses every JIG shortcode across post_content and renders the answers as cards. A donut of source mix confirms which integrations earn their place. A bar of row-height buckets exposes design drift the redesign brief should target.
An area chart of adoption per month tells the editorial lead whether JIG is still the preferred tool. A single number KPI gives owners the migration scope. The configuration has been in post_content the whole time, the dashboard just reads it.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView Charts for Justified Image Grid
JIG shortcodes are extracted from wp_posts.post_content with a regex that matches [justified_image_grid] in both opening and self-closing forms. Attributes are parsed into chart-ready columns and joined to the parent post for date, author, and status.
 Yes. The top-level filter bar accepts source_type, post_status, post_author, and date range. Picking NextGEN as a source narrows every card so the integration is reviewed in isolation.
 Yes. Shortcodes with the ng_gallery attribute classify under the NextGEN source and join to ngg_gallery for the gallery title. The dashboard surfaces NextGEN dependency as a chart, not a code search.
 Presets live in wp_options under the JIG settings array. Shortcodes that reference a preset classify under the preset source and join to the options blob so the preset name appears in the per-card breakdown.
 Yes. Both views read the same shortcode-parser source, so a filter saved at the source level applies to whichever layout is open. Toggling between table and chart layouts is one click without rebuilding the filter set.
 No. The dashboard reads shortcode attributes from the database, not the Flickr or Facebook APIs. Live media still loads through JIG's normal request path on the front end. The chart layer is purely an admin reading layer.
 Shortcode extraction runs on a saved view with a configurable refresh interval. The regex pass happens once per refresh and cached aggregations serve the cards. Dashboards open instantly after the first render even on sites with tens of thousands of posts.
 Yes. JIG shortcodes live in post_content regardless of the editor used to author the post. Shortcodes inside shortcode blocks are detected by the same parser, so block-theme sites get the same dashboard as classic-theme sites.
