In this tutorial we will figure out how to create a responsive image gallery with a thumbnail carousel. The gallery will adjust to the size of the viewport, and you can also disable or enable the thumbnail carousel. Navigation can be done using the keyboard.
We'll be using the jQuery Touchwipe plugin so that navigation can be done using typical screen manipulations on iPhone and iPad.
HTML markupIn the HTML code we will use the main container with the class “rg-gallery”. It will also have the same identifier as the class. Another div element with the class “rg-thumbs” will house the structure for the Elastislide carousel:
Previous Next
The thumbnails will have two data attributes which will be used later in our JavaScript code. The “data-large” attribute contains the path to the large image, and the “data-description” attribute contains the caption that will be displayed under the current large image.
For the structure of the large image viewport, we use a jQuery template, which is added in the head of our document:
((if itemsCount > 1)) Previous image Next image ((/if))
We are adding a condition that the navigation will only be displayed if there is more than one image. The “rg-image” container will be used to add a large image.
CSSIn addition to setting a few parameters (for example, margins and padding for thumbnails in the Elastislide carousel), you need to set styles for the rest of the gallery elements.
The “rg-image-wrapper” element that is used in the jQuery template will have relative positioning and a semi-transparent repeating image as the background. The frame will have rounded corners and a minimum height of 20 px:
Rg-image-wrapper( position:relative; padding:20px 30px; background:transparent url(../images/black.png) repeat top left; -moz-border-radius: 10px; -webkit-border-radius: 10px ; border-radius: 10px; min-height:20px; )
The container that is used to add a large image will have a relative position and a line height of 0. By adding a center text alignment to it, we will force all inline elements to center align. But since we are not using “display:block” for the image, we need to set the line height to 0. This way there will be no space above the image since it is a default inline element:
Rg-image( position:relative; text-align:center; line-height:0px; )
By setting the large image's max-width property to 100%, we ensure that it always remains surrounded by a floating container. We don't need this property, but if you want to limit the size of the preview area, then you will have to set a fixed height for the “rg-image” class and the image will fill it as the viewport width changes.
Rg-image img( max-height:100%; max-width:100%; )
Navigation elements will have the following styles:
Rg-image-nav a( position:absolute; top:0px; left:0px; background:#000 url(../images/nav.png) no-repeat -20% 50%; width:28px; height:100 %; text-indent:-9000px; cursor:pointer; opacity:0.3; outline:none; -moz-border-radius: 10px 0px 0px 10px; -webkit-border-radius: 10px 0px 0px 10px; border-radius: 10px 0px 0px 10px; )
This is the style for the left arrow, now let's look at the properties for the right arrow:
Rg-image-nav a.rg-image-nav-next( right:0px; left:auto; background-position:115% 50%; -moz-border-radius: 0px 10px 10px 0px; -webkit-border-radius : 0px 10px 10px 0px; border-radius: 0px 10px 10px 0px; )
Since we have already defined the value of the left property for elements in general, we will have to set it to auto for the right arrow.
The arrows will become clearer when you hover your mouse over them:
Rg-image-nav a:hover( opacity:0.8; )
Captions will have the following styles:
Rg-caption ( text-align:center; margin-top:15px; position:relative; ) .rg-caption p( font-size:11px; letter-spacing:2px; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", "Myriad Pro", Arial, sans-serif; line-height:16px; padding:0 15px; text-transform:uppercase; )
Set the following styles for the switch:
Rg-view( height:30px; ) .rg-view a( display:block; float:right; width:16px; height:16px; margin-right:3px; background:#464646 url(../images/views. png) no-repeat top left; border:3px solid #464646; opacity:0.8; ) .rg-view a:hover( opacity:1.0; ) .rg-view a.rg-view-full( background-position:0px 0px; ) .rg-view a.rg-view-selected( background-color:#6f6f6f; border-color:#6f6f6f; ) .rg-view a.rg-view-thumbs( background-position:0px -16px; )
A loading indicator will appear in the center of the image:
Rg-loading( width:46px; height:46px; position:absolute; top:50%; left:50%; background:#000 url(../images/ajax-loader.gif) no-repeat center center; margin :-23px 0px 0px -23px; z-index:100; -moz-border-radius: 10px; -webkit-border-radius: 10px; border-radius: 10px; opacity:0.7; )
JavaScriptThe main idea of the gallery is its flexibility. The problem was partially solved using styles: large image fits the container. To get a responsive thumbnail carousel, we use the Elastislide plugin.
Let's define some variables:
// Gallery container var $rgGallery = $("#rg-gallery"), // Carousel container $esCarousel = $rgGallery.find("div.es-carousel-wrapper"), // Carousel item $items = $esCarousel .find("ul > li"), // Total number of items itemsCount = $items.length;
Then the gallery function:
Gallery = (function() ( //Gallery function ))(); Gallery.init();
Here we define variables for the current image, output mode and control over loading of the image. Then we call several functions, which are defined below:
// Index of the current item var current = 0, // Mode: carousel || full screen mode = "carousel", // Check if one image is loaded anim = false, init = function() ( // (Optional) preload images here... $items.add(" 
").imagesLoaded(function() ( // Add options _addViewModes(); // Add a wrapper for the large image _addImageWrapper(); // Display the first image _showImage($items.eq(current)); )); // Initialize the carousel _initCarousel(); ),
Call the Elastislide plugin:
InitCarousel = function() ( // Use the elastislide plugin: $esCarousel.show().elastislide(( imageW: 65, onClick: function($item) ( if(anim) return false; anim = true; // On keypress mouse, display the image _showImage($item); // Change the current current = $item.index(); ) ); // Set the current for elastislide $esCarousel.elastislide("setCurrent", current); ),
Next function displays and controls view mode switches:
AddViewModes = function() ( // Top right buttons: hide / show carousel var $viewfull = $(""), $viewthumbs = $(""); $rgGallery.prepend($("").append($viewfull ).append($viewthumbs)); $viewfull.bind("click.rgGallery", function(event) ( $esCarousel.elastislide("destroy").hide(); $viewfull.addClass("rg-view-selected "); $viewthumbs.removeClass("rg-view-selected"); mode = "fullview"; return false; )); $viewthumbs.bind("click.rgGallery", function(event) ( _initCarousel(); $ viewthumbs.addClass("rg-view-selected"); $viewfull.removeClass("rg-view-selected"); mode = "carousel"; return false; )); ),
The _addImageWrapper function adds a structure for a large image and a navigation button if the total number of images is more than one. Navigation events are also fired. Using the jQuery Touchwipe plugin we add support for navigation using touch screen and keyboards:
AddImageWrapper= function() ( // Add structure for large images and navigation buttons (if total number of items > 1) $("#img-wrapper-tmpl").tmpl((itemsCount: itemsCount)).appendTo($rgGallery) ; if(itemsCount > 1) ( // Add navigation var $navPrev = $rgGallery.find("a.rg-image-nav-prev"), $navNext = $rgGallery.find("a.rg-image-nav -next"), $imgWrapper = $rgGallery.find("div.rg-image"); $navPrev.bind("click.rgGallery", function(event) ( _navigate("left"); return false; )) ; $navNext.bind("click.rgGallery", function(event) ( _navigate("right"); return false; )); // Add a touchwipe event to wrap the large image $imgWrapper.touchwipe(( wipeLeft: function() ( _navigate("right"); ), wipeRight: function() ( _navigate("left"); ), preventDefaultEvents: false )); $(document).bind("keyup.rgGallery", function(event) ( if (event.keyCode == 39) _navigate("right"); else if (event.keyCode == 37) _navigate("left"); )); ) ),
Navigation through large images is controlled by the following function:
Navigate = function(dir) ( // Navigation through large images if(anim) return false; anim = true; if(dir === "right") ( if(current + 1 >= itemsCount) current = 0; else + +current; ) else if(dir === "left") ( if(current - 1< 0) current = itemsCount - 1; else --current; } _showImage($items.eq(current)); },
Depending on the direction of movement, we set the current element.
The _showImage function adds a large image and its title:
ShowImage = function($item) ( // Display a large image that is associated with $item var $loader = $rgGallery.find("div.rg-loading").show(); $items.removeClass("selected") ; $item.addClass("selected"); var $thumb = $item.find("img"), largesrc = $thumb.data("large"), title = $thumb.data("description"); $ (" ").load(function() ( $rgGallery.find("div.rg-image").empty().append("
"); if(title) $rgGallery.find("div.rg-caption").show().children("p").empty().text(title); $loader.hide(); if( mode === "carousel") ( $esCarousel.elastislide("reload"); $esCarousel.elastislide("setCurrent", current); ) anim = false; )).attr("src", largesrc); ); return(init:init);
I spent a long time choosing the topic for today’s topic. As a result, I noticed that we have not yet made collections with image galleries. In my opinion, it’s an excellent topic, since many sites have galleries. Frankly, they are all not very attractive. Considering the current development trends of jquery, html5, etc., I thought that there must be much more attractive solutions than those that I had encountered before. So. After spending a day, we managed to find a huge number of scripts. From this whole mountain, I decided to select only, because I love, as you already noticed from previous posts.
The image gallery is applicable not only in the case of photo albums. The script can be used, I think it would be even more correct, as a portfolio for photographers, designers, etc. Jquery effects will help attract the attention of visitors and simply add elegance to your site.
So. For your attention jquery collection image gallery plugins for the site.

Today we'll look at the jQuery Flipping Gallery plugin, which allows you to create cool image galleries with very original transitions. In the example there are 5 types of transitions using this plugin. The plugin is really very easy to use, so anyone can fully use it.
An example can be seen here:
DownloadWe'll look in more detail at how to create a menu from Demo 2, with the menu appearing in the top left.
HTML partFirst you need to connect the jQuery library, which you can download here, and the Flipping Gallery plugin, between the tags:
| 1 2 3 4 5 6 | ... ... |
Then we arrange the images. You can add as many images as you like:
| 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 |
|
And to add a description for images (as in demos 4 and 5) you need to use the attribute data-caption:
| 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 |
|
| 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 | $(".gallery") .flipping_gallery (( direction: "forward" , selector: "> a" , spacing: 10 , showMaximum: 15 , enableScroll: true , flipDirection: "bottom" , autoplay: 500 ) ) ; |
Let's look at what each method means:
- direction - method responsible for how images will appear. If “forward”, then the image from the beginning will be placed at the end, if “backward” - vice versa. The default value is “forward”.
- selector - selector by which we select images; it can be changed as desired.
- spacing — sets the spacing between images in perspective.
- showMaximum - sets the number of images that are visible to the user. You can use at least 100 images, but only the first 15 will be shown, which is very convenient and does not load the browser.
- enableScroll - you can view images using the mouse wheel.
- flipDirection - determines where the image will slide: “left” - left, “right” - right, “top” - up and “bottom” - down. By default it slides down.
- autoplay — gallery autoplay. Specified in milliseconds, i.e. How long will it take for the images to change?
You now have a stunning gallery to use when posting your photos.
Hi all! In this article we will look at how to make a beautiful and conveniently sortable gallery using JQuery.
A beautiful, conveniently sorted gallery is a wonderful thing for your website that will delight you and your visitors. Today we will look at a very easy to install and configure plugin for the JQuery library – Filterizr.
Despite the ease of use, the plugin is quite lightweight and effective. Let's take a closer look at it.
DemonstrationTo see how the plugin works, go to the official website, and here it is in front of you!
You can choose to sort by city, nature, industry, sunrise, sunset or show all photos (default). There is a Shuffle button that will allow you to shuffle the images. The ASC and DESC buttons sort pictures in ascending and descending order, respectively. If you want to find an image by position or description, select the desired item in the drop-down list and enter the query in the search field. When you hover your mouse over the image, the picture turns from black and white to color.
InstallationTo download the library, click the Download button or use NPM:
Npm install filterizr
The plugin is already configured out of the box, but if you want to override the defaults you can either:
1) Pass an object with parameters to the JQuery constructor
Var filterizd = $(".filtr-container").filterizr((
// options
})
2) Rewrite the options using the setOptions() method on the Filterizr object.
Filterizd.filterizr("setOptions", (
// options
})
Default parameters:
Options = (
animationDuration: 0.5,
callbacks: (
onFilteringStart: function() ( ),
onFilteringEnd: function() ( )
},
delay: 0,
delayMode: "progressive",
easing: "ease-out",
filter: "all",
filterOutCss: (
opacity: 0,
transform: "scale(0.5)"
},
filterInCss: (
opacity: 0,
transform: "scale(1)"
},
layout: "sameSize",
selector: ".filtr-container",
setupControls: true
}
