GallerificPlus jQuery Plugin


14.10.08 Posted in Components, Projects, jQuery by Matt

I am very proud and excited to introduce my first jQuery plugin: GallerificPlus

GallerificPlus is a dynamic photo gallery with built in Lightbox functionality, and originates from the fantastic Gallerific and the jQuery Lightbox plugins.  I welcome any feedback or comments on how to improve this plugin, and a massive thank you to Trent Foley and Leandro Vieira Pinho for their original plugins.

    Hi Matt
    Nice work, but infortunately GPlus does not work properly on Mac with Safari, although original Galleriffic worked fine.
    You have first to click on the image container to get the image rendered.This for every single image.
    The Lightbox works fine.
    Any chance to have it fixed?:-)

    I can back Lorands problem. The whole details container fades in and immediately out with each new picture after the slideshow starts. This happens in Firefox 3.5 and 3.6.

    However, IE8 behaves correctly and leaves the container in place and only changes the contents.

    Matt, can you confirm this behaviour?

    Haven’t found a cure yet, but I am looking.

    Been looking for a slideshow + lightbox-style solution for some time now. And this is what works best at the moment, so I am trying to de(fire)bug

    Thanks, Kostas

    Hi,

    I try to use this plugin, but i meet a problem.
    I am downloaded the zip of the plugin, and run the example in FF. All works perfectly but the caption texts only blink on changing the slide. (shows up and than disappear).
    I want to be visible these texts all the time, not only on the first show. (because when you access the first time the slide, the text is visible, but on the next time only blink up and disappear)

    Thanks,
    Lorand

    Hi!

    Here comes a storm of questions and suggestions:

    Which version of galleriffic did you fork? It seems to be quite different from the current galleriffic version?

    How can I stick previous/next events to custom html-elements like I can do with the original. There are no gallery.next()/prev() methods…

    The baseurl thing penny talked about in the comment above mine is also very important! I made a patch for an old version of the original galleriffic. If I find it again I will send it to you.

    Have you ever thought of working together with Trent (the galleriffic guy)?
    If you join forces galleriffiPlus or how the thing would be called in such case could become the killer gallery!
    I could throw the making of a typo3 extension into it. I made a quick n dirty one for the original galleriffic plus provide a really nice and clean “theme” based on the work I currently do for the relaunch of http://www.craft2eu.net. (Will be online before christmas if nothing bad happens :-)

    Greetings

    Jo

    Is there an easy way to implement fancybox http://fancybox.net/. Awesome plugin.

    Hi Sunaryo,
    I’m wondering how you fixed the galleriffic into wordpress.
    Did you use a plugin or you made all static?
    Thanks
    Riccardo

    Love the plugin. Was working fine until I modified my system and developed friendly URLs, which requires the base href to be set.

    Is is possible to work around the base href issue? With a base href set GallerificPlus doens’t work, however if I turn it off many of my other page functions don’t work.

    I’m working in ASP and my base href is set with variable like so:
    <base href="”>

    Thanks,
    Penny
