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.

Awesome script, was inquiring how to manually initialize lightbox for i.e.

You know how you have a download link, what about an ‘enlarge this photo’ link, which would do the same function as clicking on the photo (to initialize lightbox).

I’ve been working at it but no luck I’ve got everything defined but it wont initiate.

Thanks again

Kostas and Lorand, Did you find a fix for the disappearing text/description box?

Awesome script, am using it but for some reason, sometimes the slideshot and lightbox freezes (wont initiates lightbox or change slides) and stops working and you have to refresh a few times before it continues back to working status.

By freezes I mean no effects or slides change, light box is not initiated. Any ideas? I tried adding a no cache to the page, but still nothing.

Kindest Regards,

Hi!

Is there an easy way to change the lightbox variables e.g. overlayBgColor, imageBtnPrev,… on the fly.
I want to create a website with an gallery. This website is published in 3 different countries with 3 different languages.

I tried to specify the variable variable equal with the others, but they are ignored. in the code I just noticed that my desired variable as defaults and not as the actual (eg autoplay) are used as this.settings.

Matt,
This plugin combo is much requested by many and I too am looking into posting a slideshow with facebox (not lightbox) but I am hoping the difference will not be significant from lightbox to facebox. When do you think the new version of gallerificPlus will be finished?

Sorry to sound like I am impatient, just a testament to how much anticipated this release is.

  Hi Don
  
  thanks for the comment, and apologies for the delay in responding.
  I m still working on the release of the updated Gallerific plugin, and have been delayed due to project deadlines and conferences.
  
  I’m really hoping to get it released within the nest few weeks, and you’ll be the first to know.

Dear Matt
Congratulations for your work, its great.
One question, Is possible to use gallerificPlus with 2 or more galleries in the same file?
because I`m trying to do this, and no succes, it seems that there be a global data that avoid me refresh the others galleries, and only refresh the first one clicked.
Any help will be very appreciated.

Is there is a fix for the #(hash) issue when base href is set as base href is vital for our sites so cant do without it.

Hi Matt,

Thank you for creating this – it’s way cool.

I am working on a gallery that I customized in a later version of Galleriffic. I am trying to incorporate your lightbox code into this. I almost have it working, but I’m getting this error:

“Result of expression ‘gallery.data[current]‘ [undefined] is not an object”.

And my image is not loading into the lightbox.

my page is here:

Any help with this is much much much appreciated. And of course copious credit will be given in the final version.

Kyle

I’m having trouble on the Mac. The details box is disappearing. It comes up again when you refresh the page.

Any ideas?

Hi Kyle

The details box disappearance seems to be a bug with the current release. The next release will resolve this issue, and I aim to have that out within the next week or so.

Hi,

I’m having same issues. In Chrome, navigation between images works for a few clicks and then stops (Seems to get broken by something). From then on, it won’t change photos. Seems to work fine in Fire Fox.

Details box also fades out real fast. But, strangely, that bug just stated to happen, but didn’t start until 1 day after implementing GPlus.

I’d love to see a fix!

Hi Matt,

Sorry to write again, but I’m curious if a fix is in the works? I’m not sure if I should wait for an update or simply implement another slideshow.

I think fixing this problem is over my head.

Thanks much,

Forest

Hi Matt,

here’s a quickfix for the lightbox-configuration problem:

// Now initialize the gallery
- this.settings = $.extend({}, defaults, settings);
+ this.settings = $.extend(defaults, settings);

Is it possible to add some Youtube video among the pictures. If so, do you have an example somewhere?
Ciprian May 25, 2011 at 9:21 pm · Reply

Hi, great plugin. One simple question. What do I need to modify so instead of small thumbs to display for example the title of the image like in the Minimal implementation of the original Galleriffic?

  Hi Ciprian – I’m updating GallerificPlus and (finally) releasing the long-overdue update soon. This will include functionality from the updated Galleriffic libraries written by Trent

Hi Matt

With the original Gallerific it was possible to put multiple instances on a single page, is that possible with GallerifficPlus ? As I cant seem to get it to work properly with more than one on a page.

Hello Matt

Is it possible to control the opacity of the thumbnails like in the native Galleriffic?
I would really appreciate it if you could add this functionality or tell me how to integrate it to your awsone script!
Do you approximately know when the next release of GallerifficPlus is ready for launch?

Regards

Hey Matt,

Will the new release fix the Chrome bug where the pagination and slide changing breaks? That would be awesome!

Thanks!

i was curious if anyone had any tips for making the lightbox element open immediately from the thumbnail navigation images. (i don’t have a need for the slideshow portion of the default implementation.)
