In this lesson I will show you how to create a minimalistic, but at the same time convenient and functional photo gallery using jQuery, or an image gallery, as you wish. The gallery has the ability to create categories, followed by filtering. It is also possible to launch a slide show. The gallery works in all browsers, so there will be no problems with adaptation.

To create this gallery, we will use two free jQuery libraries: Quicksand and PrettyPhoto. They make creating a gallery much easier. As always, you can see the result of the work on the demo page, and also download the archive from the working gallery and all the source files. The only drawback, so to speak, is the manual creation of thumbnails for large images. In all other respects, this gallery is worthy of attention.

SOURCES

HTML markup

First, let's look at the panel with a list of categories, this is a bulleted list ul. Moreover, each list element must have a unique class name.


  • Categories:

  • All

  • Category 1

  • Category 2

  • Category 3

  • Category 4







  • Name of the picture


  • As mentioned above, list items are images in the gallery. Each list element includes components. This is the image itself, or rather its miniature, as well as a description. The thumbnail is a link to the main image. The rel attribute is needed to call javascript and open the main image.

    Don’t forget also about 2 important things: the li list element must have a unique data-id attribute. The data-type attribute contains the category class, the list of which I described above. Everything seems to be about markup.

    CSS Styles

    I won’t particularly focus on styles, since we use the ready-made PrettyPhoto library, which is responsible for enlarging the image, and there is quite a lot of CSS code. However, it is worth noting that there are 5 options for designing an enlarged image, although ideally only 3, since in two options only the rounding is removed.

    Therefore, I will only show CSS styles for thumbnails and a list of categories.

    Portfolio-categ ( margin-bottom:30px; )
    .portfolio-categli (
    display:inline;
    margin-right:10px;
    }
    .image-block(
    display:block;
    position: relative;
    }
    .image-block img (
    border: 1px solid #d5d5d5;
    border-radius: 4px 4px 4px 4px;
    background:#FFFFFF;
    padding:10px;
    }
    .image-block img:hover (
    border: 1px solid #A9CF54;
    box-shadow:0 0 5px #A9CF54;
    }
    .portfolio-area li (
    float: left;
    margin: 0 12px 20px 0;
    overflow: hidden;
    width: 245px;
    padding:5px;
    }
    .home-portfolio-text ( margin-top:10px; )
    li.active a ( text-decoration:underline; )

    In principle, everything should be clear with styles. To make the categories line up, the display property is set to inline . To give the effect of outlining an image, set background color(white) and a padding of 10 pixels. List item sizes are set in .portfolio-area li .

    jQuery

    And finally, the most important thing is what the whole lesson is for. This jQuery code. Let's start by filtering the pictures by category.

    // Select all child elements of portfolio-area and write to a variable
    var $data = $(".portfolio-area").clone();

    $(".portfolio-categ li").click(function(e) (
    $(".filter li").removeClass("active");

    Var filterClass=$(this).attr("class").split(" ").slice(-1);

    If (filterClass == "all") (
    var $filteredData = $data.find(".portfolio-item2");
    ) else (
    var $filteredData = $data.find(".portfolio-item2");
    }
    $(".portfolio-area").quicksand($filteredData, (
    duration: 600,
    adjustHeight: "auto"
    ), function () (

    LightboxPhoto();
    });
    $(this).addClass("active");
    return false;
    });

    Using the clone() method and a selector, we select all child elements of .portfolio-area and write them to the $data variable. Next, we track the click on one of the categories, the li element of the list with the class .portfolio-categ . We make all categories inactive by removing removeClass(“active”), if this is not done, then over time all categories will be active and filtering will stop.

    Since we click on a list element, the this selector contains a list element, that is, li , from it we take the value of the class attribute and using the split method we split the class name into several parts, the border is a space (i.e. if the class was " all active" then after splitting we get an array of "all" and "active"). And then using the slice method, we select the first element of the array (in our case, “all”), and write the resulting result to the filterClass variable. If there is no space, the class name will not change.

    Next, we check if the filterClass variable contains the string all , then using the .find method we select all elements with the portfolio-item2 class from the $data array, which we looked at above. The selected elements (and these are all elements of the list, that is, all the pictures) are placed in the filteredData variable.

    Otherwise, if filterClass is not equal to all , then we will place not all elements of the list in the filterData variable, but only those whose data-type attribute matches the category class. In short, elements of only one category.

    And ultimately, we pass the resulting variable to the jquery quicksand library, which filters the images. That's it for filtering.

    Now, as for enlarging the image in the pop-up window. Everything is much simpler here.

    JQuery("a").prettyPhoto((
    animationSpeed: "fast",
    slideshow: 5000,
    theme: "facebook",
    show_title: false,
    overlay_gallery: false
    });

    A click on a link whose rel attribute begins with prettyPhoto is tracked. Then the prettyPhoto library comes into play and the image is miraculously enlarged. By the way, we are also passing several parameters. Such as the animation speed is fast, the slide show delay is 5 seconds, the Facebook design theme (there are 5 themes in total, they are located in the images/prettyPhoto folder), and we also prohibit showing the name of the picture and enlarging the picture when hovering the mouse.

    Hello, dear readers! In this lesson I will show you how to create a minimalistic, but at the same time convenient and functional photo gallery using jQuery, or an image gallery, as you wish. The gallery has the ability to create categories, followed by filtering. It is also possible to launch a slide show. The gallery works in all browsers, so there will be no problems with adaptation.

    // Select all child elements of portfolio-area and write to a variable
    var $data = $(".portfolio-area" ) .clone () ;

    $(".portfolio-categli" ) .click (function (e) (
    $(".filter li" ) .removeClass ( "active" ) ;

    var filterClass= $(this) .attr ("class" ) .split (" " ) .slice (- 1 ) [ 0 ] ;

    if (filterClass == "all" ) (
    var $filteredData = $data.find(".portfolio-item2" ) ;
    ) else (
    var $filteredData = $data.find(".portfolio-item2" ) ;
    }
    $(".portfolio-area") .quicksand ($filteredData, (
    duration: 600 ,
    adjustHeight: "auto"
    ) , function () (

    LightboxPhoto() ;
    } ) ;
    $(this).addClass("active");
    return false ;
    } ) ;

    Using the clone() method and a selector, we select all child elements of .portfolio-area and write them to the $data variable. Next, we track the click on one of the categories, the li element of the list with the class .portfolio-categ . We make all categories inactive by removing removeClass(“active”), if this is not done, then over time all categories will be active and filtering will stop.

    Since we click on a list element, the this selector contains a list element, that is, li , from it we take the value of the class attribute and using the split method we split the class name into several parts, the border is a space (i.e. if the class was " all active" then after splitting we get an array of "all" and "active"). And then using the slice method, we select the first element of the array (in our case, “all”), and write the resulting result to the filterClass variable. If there is no space, the class name will not change.

    Next, we check if the filterClass variable contains the string all , then using the .find method we select all elements with the portfolio-item2 class from the $data array, which we looked at above. The selected elements (and these are all elements of the list, that is, all the pictures) are placed in the filteredData variable.

    Otherwise, if filterClass is not equal to all , then we will place not all elements of the list in the filterData variable, but only those whose data-type attribute matches the category class. In short, elements of only one category.

    And ultimately, we pass the resulting variable to the jquery quicksand library, which filters the images. That's it for filtering.

    Now, as for enlarging the image in the pop-up window. Everything is much simpler here.

    Hi all! Today we will talk about perhaps the best free photo gallery, video and photo slider, let's talk about “photo frame”. Despite the fact that the script has not been supported for 2 years and the author switched to a project on a similar topic, it works great and continues to please the eye.

    Main advantages (+)

  • Easy to install, configure and use. Besides jQuery, you will need connect only 2 files, and to display the gallery you only need to provide links to the pictures.
  • Slightly affects site loading speed.
  • Adaptability. Your gallery looks good on a phone, a laptop, and even a TV screen.
  • An abundance of settings and functions that can be connected separately through the attributes of HTML tags.
  • Support for touch devices.
  • Video support.
  • Possibility of lazy loading of images.
  • And many, many other things that will appeal to a sophisticated user.
  • Minuses (-)

  • Lack of user support. The likelihood that your problem will be addressed or corrected is almost zero. Yes, this is bad, but not fatal.
  • First option for connecting Fotorama

    This connection option is the simplest, but not the best; it should be used only if you need to display the gallery on most pages of the site. The advantage of this option is the use of CDN.

  • Checking for jQuery. Go to the source code of the site (keyboard shortcut Ctrl + U) → trying to find something like this line: https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/X.X.X/jquery.min.js

    To make your search easier, use Ctrl + F . If the coveted line is not there, then you will have to connect jQuery. On WordPress, this can be done by pasting the code below into the theme's functions file (functions.php). In fact, this script is used when there are conflicts between different versions of jQuery and it operates according to the following scheme: it deletes the previously registered jQuery, registers a new one, and displays the script. Current versions of the jQuery library can be found here.

    You can simply insert this line between and :

  • We connect fotorama.css and fotorama.js. Insert the following code between the and tags, in WordPress this is done in the theme header file (header.php).
  • This completes connecting the gallery using the first method. How to use it is written in the section “Directly creating a gallery”.
  • Second connection option [shortcode + Autoptimize]

    In this connection option, script files will be displayed only on the necessary pages via [shortcode]. And if you use the Autoptimize plugin, then the script code will also be integrated into the theme files. These simple manipulations should increase the site loading speed.

  • Checking for jQuery. Just like in the first option, see above.
  • Download the photo frame files → unpack → upload to a separate folder in the root of the site.
  • To create a shortcode, insert the code below into the theme functions file (functions.php), change the links to the files to your own..js"> "; ) add_shortcode("foto","sd");
  • Now, when writing an article, enter the shortcode at the end
  • Directly creating a gallery

    The gallery is displayed in HTML code using container c class="fotorama", the container contains the image output code or link to image . When writing an article using the WordPress engine, switch the editor to text mode and enter the container c class="fotorama" .

    It looks like this:

    Or like this (numbering of links is optional):

    1 3 4

    Examples of Fotorama settings Container dimensions

    The size of the photo frame block is the size of the first image, other images are scaled in proportion to the first. To correct this situation, you can specify the dimensions manually.

    There are other settings:

    Data-width="98%" //relative width data-ratio="800/600" //aspect ratio data-minwidth="420" //min. width data-maxwidth="900" // max. width data-minheight="320" // min. height data-maxheight="100% // relative max height data-height="100% // relative height

    Miniatures

    Data-nav="thumbs" is responsible for thumbnails

    But this method is not very effective, since the script has to load all the photos at once to generate thumbnails, so it would be more rational to prepare small copies of the pictures in advance. WordPress automatically creates thumbnails, which is what we will use. To get a link to the thumbnail, add -70x70 to the file name (https://site/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/27ltl9eRXk.jpg → https://site/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/27ltl9eRXk- 70x70.jpg).

    By default, the thumbnail is 64 × 64. You can adjust this parameter using data-thumbwidth (width) and data-thumbheight (height). If you need the thumbnail to have its own size, then set the width and height parameters for the thumbnail file:

    HTML code + Fotorama

    Photoframe perfectly processes HTML and CSS, which significantly expands the functionality of the script. Work with links, blocks, tables, paragraphs, write CSS and much more. Below are some examples of the gallery's work. If the visual part is not displayed, then click the "Result" button.

    Other data-autoplay ="true" //autoplay data-autoplay="3000" //interval between slides in ms data-caption ="One" //comments on pictures data-keyboard ="true" //arrow navigation data-shuffle ="true" //images in different order data-navposition ="top" //thumbnails at the top data-loop ="true" //cyclic scrolling Let's try to connect everything and add a video "some comment 1" > "some comment 2" >

By all criteria, this is another great tool for a web developer. There is a separate plugin for WordPress and detailed documentation on setup and use. The only depressing thing is the lack of documentation in Russian, judging by the name and surname, the author seems to be Russian, never understood whether it was harmful, or because of an imaginary awareness of his own sophistication, but blah. Well, okay, who needs to figure it out, we also didn’t boil the tea soft-boiled))).

    11.FeatherLight

    A 6 kbit lightbox plugin for more or less savvy developers, equipped with all the most necessary functions. In addition to supporting all common content types (text, images, iframe, Ajax), there is the ability to connect an additional one, and you can also develop your own extension for this plugin, which will fully meet your needs when creating a new project. How this whole thing (extension development) works, I haven’t really looked into, but those who install this plugin, I think they’ll figure it out))).

      13. StripJS

      Unusual, I would even say: an unusual implementation of the lightbox, or rather, an unusual presentation of content, when an image or video, in the lightbox design, appears on the right, filling not the entire screen, but only given size full-size picture or video. On big screens This approach is understandable; interaction with the page remains possible. On the small screens of mobile devices, all this innovative design smoothly turns into a classic “lightbox”. The idea is interesting, look at the demo, maybe someone will add such creativity.

      An easy to use lightbox plugin that goes well with any project and also looks good on any screen. The LightLayer plugin provides control over many settings, such as changing the background color and degree of transparency, the position of the base block, the choice of transition effects when opening/closing, functions that users can manipulate independently.

      15. FluidBox

      Fluidbox is a lightbox plugin exclusively for images. The number of possible variations in image presentation is truly impressive. The plugin works great with images in various designs, including floating images, images with absolute positioning, pictures and photographs framed and indented, with single images, and combined into a gallery. In general, it’s a waste of time, it’s still not possible to describe all the capabilities of the plugin in a short presentation, so it’s better to watch the demo, twist it, turn it around, and I think many people will like this plugin.
