JQPhotoSwipeContrib

Modern javascript image gallery

Description

JQPhotoSwipeContrib is a thin wrapper to bring PhotoSwipe to Foswiki. It adds the minimum amount of glue to render an image gallery using this frontend. JQPhotoSwipeContrib is meant to be used together with ImagePlugin or ImageGalleryPlugin to render thumbnails on the backend while PhotoSwipe is used on the frontend.

The easiest way is to wrap a couple of %IMAGE tags with a div element using the jqPhotoSwipe css class.

%JQREQUIRE{"photoswipe"}%

<div class="jqPhotoSwipe">
%IMAGE{"image1.png" size="200"}%
%IMAGE{"image2.png" size="200"}%
%IMAGE{"image3.png" size="200"}%
%IMAGE{"image4.png" size="200"}%
</div>

As with other JQ...Contrib extensions the macro %JQREQUIRE{"photoswipe"}% will load the required javascript assets into the page including an initializer to process any thumbnails wrapped by a jqPhotoSwipe element.

Note that ImageGalleryPlugin detects JQPhotoSwipeContrib being installed automatically and will then switch to this frontend (starting with version 7.10).

Installation Instructions

You do not need to install anything in the browser to use this extension. The following instructions are for the administrator who installs the extension on the server.

Open configure, and open the "Extensions" section. "Extensions Operation and Maintenance" Tab -> "Install, Update or Remove extensions" Tab. Click the "Search for Extensions" button. Enter part of the extension name or description and press search. Select the desired extension(s) and click install. If an extension is already installed, it will not show up in the search results.

You can also install from the shell by running the extension installer as the web server user: (Be sure to run as the webserver user, not as root!)
cd /path/to/foswiki
perl tools/extension_installer <NameOfExtension> install

If you have any problems, or if the extension isn't available in configure, then you can still install manually from the command-line. See https://foswiki.org/Support/ManuallyInstallingExtensions for more help.
