Products.InlinePhotoAlbum 1.3rc2

Display an image gallery inside a Plone rich text area

Introduction

Creating a photo album or gallery in Plone is easy, just see Create a photo album.

This products makes it possible to include a gallery in a regular page.

Usage

When editing your page’s text in the text editor, add an internal link to the folder that contains your photos (your gallery).

Go into the HTML editor by clicking the editor’s HTML button, and add a class InlinePhotoAlbum to the link.

The link will be replaced by a rendering of the gallery. This is done by javascript, so if javascript is disabled, it will just display the link.

When clicked, the photos will be displayed in an overlay.

Features

• Open photos in overlay

• Batching

Install

Add Products.InlinePhotoAlbum to your buildout.

Compatibility

Tested on Plone 4.

To do / Roadmap

Roadmap

1.4

• this is not a good idea to replace link tag with img tags of all photos. If you have lots of photos it will make the browser die (I have done tests with 300 photos for collective.gallery. This is an issue. [toutpt]

• An other thing: you wake up all objects to build the template, you should consider use brains from catalog query. The new plone.app.imaging need object, but the old way (brain.getURL() + ‘image_myscale’ still works [toutpt]

Future

• Re-use Plone’s jQuery-lightbox code and CSS, if possible

• Integrate with other gallery products, if possible:

  • collective.plonetruegallery

  • Plone Slimbox

  • collective.gallery
