Fotorama - responsive jQuery gallery, installation and configuration. jQuery gallery with page turning effect
The jQuery library appeared in 2007. Since then, it has been used to develop great amount plugins, including image galleries. They abound beautiful frames, decent animated transitions and wonderful design. However, interestingly, I have not yet come across any jQuery gallery with the ability to rotate an image. But quite often you have to view images flipped 90 degrees, or even loaded upside down. This is exactly the functionality required for my project.
In fact, flipping images with using javascript very easy. Knowing this, I decided to write my own simple rotatable image gallery, which is based on the jquery plugin. No sooner said than done, after a few hours quite suitable results appeared:
Demonstration of work
How to use
In order for the gallery to work correctly, you need two things: a loaded jQuery library and loaded font-awesome fonts. In head we include the necessary styles and scripts:
We create the necessary gallery layout:
And initialize the gallery:
$(function() ( $(".simple_img_gallery").createSimpleImgGallery(); ));
Ready. It turned out minimalist and quite nice.
The implemented gallery is available on github.
Bottom line
There is one more image gallery on the Internet :)
As further development galleries, you can implement the ability to enlarge/reduce images - this is also a quite useful function in commercial projects, which most galleries are deprived of.
Also, to reduce the number of dependencies, you can try to abandon font-awesome, since this large set Only 4 of them are used.

47. jqFancyTransitions
In this tutorial, I'll show you how to create an interactive image gallery for your website so that when visitors click on the image thumbnails, they can see a larger view of each image. And no page reload! Images appear automatically with a fade-in effect!
We will have an area on the page with thumbnails of the gallery images and an area where we will show the image in a larger scale. By clicking on any of the thumbnails, the visitor will see the corresponding large image in that area. The image will appear for some time, creating an animation effect, and the previous image will dissolve at this time.
Coping with this task is quite easy if you use the capabilities of the jQuery library. This is what we will do with you.
Create an Image Gallery with jQueryBut before writing Java Script code we need to go through some preparatory stages.
First, you need to prepare your images. We will have two types of images: thumbnails and images big size. I created an “img” folder, in which I created 2 more folders: “big” and “small”. I saved large images in the “big” folder (they are all about the same size in width and height, about 500px by 500px). The “small” folder contains thumbnails of the same images (their sizes should also be approximately the same. When I say approximately, this means that a difference of 2-3 pixels does not matter much).
You can use my images by downloading files from the source or create the same folder structure and place your images there, creating your own gallery.
Secondly, we need to create an html file, create the page layout with our gallery in it and connect a css file (style sheet) to this file.
Let's do this now.
1. Open the editor to create our code and create new html file. Let's call it “gallery.html” and save it in the same directory where the folder with the “img” pictures is located.
Now let's write the contents of this file.
Between the “body” tags there will be a div with the identifier “wrapper”. It will contain 2 main elements: a header tag, which will contain the title, and a div with the identifier “content”, which will contain our entire gallery.
The "content" div will contain a div with ID "main", which will contain the title for the gallery; a div with the identifier “gallery”, where the thumbnails of our images are located, and another div with the identifier “photo”. The div with the identifier “photo” will be empty for now, but when the gallery is running, large images of the corresponding thumbnails will be displayed in it.
That's basically all. The code for all of the above will look like this:
Gallery jQuery
Gallery with jQuery
My GalleryThis is what the page will look like if we open it in a browser:
2. Now the page needs to be styled. To do this, create a style sheet file “style.css” and save it in the same directory as the html document.
Let's connect this file to our page. Go to our html file that we just worked with and between the head tags, connect the file of the just created style sheet by writing the following line of code:
The style sheet is connected and now it's time to add styles for all our elements. Go to the “style.css” file and write the following code:
body(background:rgba(102,102,153,1);) #wrapper(margin:0 auto; width:80%;) header(text-align:center;).logo(font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif; font- size:36px; color:#DD8D15; text-shadow:2px 2px 2px #333333;) h1(font-family:Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-style:italic; color:#FFF; text-shadow:2px 2px 2px #333; text-align:center;) #gallery(float:left; width:90px; margin-left:20px; border-right:1px solid #fff;) #gallery img(margin:0 0 10px 0; display:inline-block; border:1px solid #000;) #photo(position:relative; margin-left:150px; border-top:1px solid #fff;) #photo img(position:absolute; padding-left:150px ;)
Here we set the color for our page, set the width for the div with the ID "wrapper" and set its position to the center.
We also create styles for fonts by specifying various parameters, such as: color, size, shadow, font style and alignment.
We assign a left float, width, padding, and right border to the div with the identifier “gallery.”
For thumbnail pictures, we also set the frame indentation and the “display:inline-block” property, which generates block element, wrapped around other web page elements.
We set the div with the identifier “photo” to the left, the top frame, and also position it relatively, and position the large images that will fall within it absolutely.
Now if we refresh the page in the browser, we will see this:
3. And lastly preparatory action– this is connecting the jQuery library to our page and creating a js file for your own script.
You can download the jQuery library file from http://jquery.com/ or download it from the sources for this tutorial from the folder called "js".
To download a file to connect the library from the site jquery.com need to:
1. Click on the “Download” button in the site menu.
2. On the page that opens, find the link “Download the compressed, production jQuery 1.10.2” (the last numbers are the version of the library, they may differ).
3. Click on the link right click mouse and select “Save target as...”, after which you need to select the location where you want to save the file.
By the way, you also need to create a folder called “js” in the main directory and place the jQuery library file there, which you will download either from their website or from the sources.
After that, create a new JavaScript file, name it “my_script.js” and save it in the “js” folder as well. This file will contain all our code for running the gallery.
But before writing it, we need to connect these two files to our html page.
To do this, go to the “gallery.html” file again and before the closing head tag add the following lines:
We have connected our files and now we can get down to the fun part - writing code for the gallery to work.
4. Open the file “my_script.js” and write the following lines:
This function waits for our entire HTML page to load before it starts executing the JavaScript code. All of our subsequent code will be located between the curly braces. By the way, it is not necessary to write the comment “//all our code will be located here”; it is here just to make it clearer to you.
First we need to select all the links that are in the div with id "gallery" and assign a mouse click event to them. We will pass an anonymous function to the click event, which will perform some actions. IN in this case the function will have a variable "evt" that will store the event object (i.e. the link that was clicked).
$(document).ready(function() ( $("#gallery a").click(function(evt)( )); ));
Typically, the browser reacts to clicking on a link in the following way: it sends us to the page specified in the “href” parameter of the link. But in this case we don't need it. We want large images to appear on the same page we're currently on, in a space designated for them. So the first step is to override the browser's default behavior when clicking on our links. Just for this we need the “evt” variable, in which the event object is stored. We need to apply the "preventDefault" event object function to it.
$(document).ready(function() ( $("#gallery a").click(function(evt)( evt.preventDefault(); )); ));
Now if you reload the page in the browser and try to click on the thumbnail, the browser will not send you to another page with a large picture, as it would have been before. You'll just stay on the same page.
First, we'll extract the "href" attribute of the large image whose thumbnail was clicked and place it in the "imgPath" variable.
Secondly, we will create a variable “oldImg”, which will store the large image that is in the image area in this moment.
Third, we will create a variable “newImg” in which we will form img tag For new picture, which should appear in the image area. Here we need the “imgPath” variable, which contains the “href” attribute for this image.
$(document).ready(function() ( $("#gallery a").click(function(evt)( evt.preventDefault(); var imgPath = $(this).attr("href"); var oldImg = $("#photo img"); var newImg = $("" ));
We have created all the variables we need. All that remains is to do some things with them.
So, we need the new picture, the thumbnail of which the visitor just clicked, to disappear first. You ask: “Why?” The fact is that in order to create a manifestation effect, we first need to completely hide the image. We can achieve this using the hide() function.
The next action will be to add a new image to the tag with the identifier “photo” and here we will use the prepend() function, which will add the html code of the image to the tag, namely at the very beginning.
And now our picture should appear beautifully, for example, in one second. The fadeIn() function will help us here.
$(document).ready(function() ( $("#gallery a").click(function(evt)( evt.preventDefault(); var imgPath = $(this).attr("href"); var oldImg = $("#photo img"); var newImg = $(""); $("#photo").prepend(newImg.fadeIn(1000)); ;
You can even check your page in the browser (after reloading it first). If you click on any picture, it will appear. But if you click on another one after that, nothing else will happen.
That's right. Now, before a new picture appears, we must delete the old one.
And we will do it like this: first we will hide old picture within 1 second (this is how we get it smooth transition between images). The fadeOut() function will help us with this.
But this is not enough, you need to not only hide the image, but also remove it from the “photo” tag, and therefore we will pass the effect time (1000 milliseconds) as the first parameter to the fadeOut() function, and as the second parameter a function that will delete the old picture using the remove() function.
$(document).ready(function() ( $("#gallery a").click(function(evt)( evt.preventDefault(); var imgPath = $(this).attr("href"); var oldImg = $("#photo img"); var newImg = $(""); $("#photo").prepend(newImg.fadeIn(1000); , function() ( this.remove(); ));
Our gallery is now up and running. You can reload the browser page and check if it works.
The only thing left to do is to add one more line of code so that when the page loads, the first photo will already be displayed in the area for large images.
To do this, we will use selectors and a jQuery library filter to select the first image, after which we will attach a click() event to it, to which we will not pass any arguments. This will cause pre-defined event handlers to run and the image to appear in the desired area.
We need to add just one line almost at the very end. Thus, all our JavaScript code will look like this:
$(document).ready(function() ( $("#gallery a").click(function(evt)( evt.preventDefault(); var imgPath = $(this).attr("href"); var oldImg = $("#photo img"); var newImg = $(""); $("#photo").prepend(newImg.fadeIn(1000); , function() ( this.remove(); )); $("#gallery a:first").click());
All! The gallery is ready! You can see her work by clicking on the icon that says “Demo” at the very beginning of the post.
You can place such a gallery on your website or blog to show your photos or your products... or anything else you like; whatever you come up with yourself.
JQuery is truly very powerful. For example, in this particular case, we wrote very little code, but got a perfectly working gallery. And this is only a small part of what you can do if you know the capabilities of this library and know how to use them.
If this topic is interesting to you, but you are new to it, then I can highly recommend good course from Evgeny Popov “Javascript + jQuery for beginners in video format”.
In it you can get acquainted not only with the jQuery library, but also with Java basics Script, which you undoubtedly also need to know. After completing this course, you will not only learn the basics, but also learn to understand this programming language and create interactive elements web pages.

Webdesign with jQuery is very easy! AD Gallery- photo gallery with miniatures.Installation and configuration
In many cases, a beautiful photo gallery on a website can be created using a carousel with thumbnails that open when clicked in a large window. To create such a gallery you only need HTML tools and CSS (see, for example, the article Creating a photo gallery in Photoshop), but much more possibilities are provided by the use of plugins free library jQuery. For example, consider the photo gallery AD Gallery, developed by Swedish programmer Anders Ekdahl.
This photo gallery allows you to select several options for changing images, displays a scale with thumbnail previews and text under the pictures, has a slide show mode, and many others useful functions. The plugin works correctly in most browsers, including IE 7, 8, etc. One of the AD Gallery photo gallery options is shown below (a working example, as always):
Installing a photo gallery AD GalleryFirst, let's create on the site new folder and let's call it ad-gallery. Then download the archive and unpack it into the created folder. We will have two js scripts in it, the file CSS styles and several supporting images.
Next, you need to add to the header of the page with the future photo gallery inside the tag... the following lines indicating the paths to our new files, and a little JavaScript to initialize AD Gallery:
$(function() (
var galleries = $(".ad-gallery").adGallery();
});
Important Note: if your site uses several jQuery plugins, then it is more convenient to transfer the jquery.js file (preferably latest version) V root folder so as not to download it several times. In this case, the line for accessing it will look the same for all plugins. In particular, for our example it turns out like this:
It is not recommended to use several on one page different versions jQuery so they don't conflict with each other. At the same time, be sure to check the operation of the plugins with installed version jQuery since not all versions are interchangeable.
To place images (large - big.jpg and thumbnails - small.jpg) an unordered list is used, nested in several tags. For our example with five pictures, the HTML code looks like this:
You don't have to worry too much about the div values and just copy the entire container, placing your images in the . The number of images placed in them can be any. Pay attention to the way captions are displayed under enlarged pictures: the title attribute specifies the general title, and alt specifies a detailed description. To implement an image link, the longdesc attribute (third image) is used.
As you can see, installing the AD Gallery photo gallery, as well as most jQuery plugins, is very simple and does not require special programming knowledge.
Setting photo gallery options AD GalleryMost customization of the appearance of the AD Gallery photo gallery is done using CSS rules in the jquery.ad-gallery.css file. The main ones are provided with Russian commentaries and do not have any features, that is, difficulties.
Animation and other parameters can be changed in the jquery.ad-gallery.js file. To do this, open it in the editor or Notepad and at the very beginning you will see lines with comments. By changing the parameter values and viewing the result in the browser, you can customize the photo gallery to suit your needs. For example, the line
effect: "slide-hori", // slide show effects: "slide-vert", "fade", "resize", "none","slide-hori"
defines one of five transition options when changing pictures.
The dimensions of the photo gallery window are determined automatically according to the largest image. Therefore, it is advisable that the pictures do not differ greatly in height, otherwise there will be a lot of empty space.
AD Gallery is convenient to use when small quantity pictures. If your collection consists of a hundred or two images, then waiting for all of them to scroll is too tedious, and not every user will “fly to the middle of the Dnieper”. Unfortunately, AD Gallery does not provide a slider for fast travel by miniatures. Therefore, for large photo galleries, I recommend using another jQuery plugin - PP Gallery, which is described in the next article.
For other programs for creating photo galleries, image carousels and slide shows on the site, see and in the section "
Installation and configuration
Among the variety of photo galleries, a special place is occupied by programs that use thumbnail previews to move through pictures in the viewing window (see, for example, the article Photo Gallery prettyPhoto).This method is especially convenient for galleries with a large number images, since scrolling through them sequentially is quite tedious. You can, of course, go back to original page and choose the desired picture, but this method cannot be called successful.
The versatile PP Gallery photo gallery, a plugin from the great free jQuery library, makes it easy to view and open any number of images without leaving the gallery viewer. PP Gallery has ample opportunities navigation, and the presence of a slider for moving through the thumbnails allows you to quickly navigate even through a very large collection of photos. In addition, the thumbnails in the photo gallery window itself in many cases make it unnecessary to place them on the main page (more on this below).
The PP Gallery photo gallery has a viewing mode both by clicking the mouse or using the forward/back keys, and in the form of a slide show. It is easy to install and has an elegant appearance and that's all necessary settings. Detailed description PP Gallery photo galleries can be viewed on the developers' website. A working example is shown in the figure:
Installing a photo gallery PP Gallery
As usual, we start by creating a new folder on the site, calling it, for example, ppgallery. Then download the archive and unpack it into the created folder. We will have one js folder with scripts and another with CSS files.
Next, we’ll add to the header of the page with the future photo gallery inside the tag... the following lines indicating the paths to our new files, and a little JavaScript to initialize and configure the PP Gallery parameters:
$(document).ready(function() (
$("#gallery").ppGallery((
screenFade: 0.8, //background transparency
screenColor: "#333333", //background color
thumbWidth: 60, //width of thumbnails. Default 60px
maxWidth: "700", //control the maximum width of images (set larger than the largest)
slideShowDelay: "2", //speed of changing pictures in the slide show (sec)
showHiddenGalleryButton: "", //#view - hide thumbnails on the gallery page (not to be confused with the gallery window!)
autoOpen: 0 //launch the gallery immediately when the page opens (1= yes, 0= no)
});
});
Important Note: If your site uses several jQuery plugins, then it is more convenient to move the jquery.js file (preferably the latest version) to the root folder so as not to download it several times. In this case, the line for accessing it will look the same for all plugins. In particular, for our example it turns out like this:
It is not recommended to use several different versions of jQuery on the same page so that they do not conflict with each other. At the same time, be sure to check the operation of the plugins with the installed jQuery version, since not all versions are interchangeable.
To place images (large - big.jpg and thumbnails - small.jpg), an unordered list of regular hyperlinks with the id="gallery" identifier is used:
...
If you want to display captions under images, they should be included in hyperlinks.
This completes the installation of PP Gallery, and you can launch the photo gallery and admire it in the browser. As they often say in advertising, you will be surprised how simple and fast everything is... However, this is typical for most jQuery plugins, which have been making the life of web designers easier for several years now.
Setting photo gallery options PP GalleryThe main settings for the appearance of the PP Gallery photo gallery are located in the elementary CSS file ppgallery.css and in the js script we placed in the ... tag. Russian comments, I hope, do not require explanation.
Since the PP Gallery photo gallery window displays thumbnails of all images, then, in principle, their duplication on the site page becomes optional. The only exception is if you want to colorfully design a photo gallery with all sorts of bells and whistles. But why do this if by clicking on any picture the visitor still goes to the PP Gallery window and your work will go unnoticed?
Therefore, on the site page you can hide all gallery images, leaving only the launch button for the PP Gallery program. To do this, enter the value #view in the initialization line
showHiddenGalleryButton: "#view", //#view - hide thumbnails on the gallery page
and add a photo gallery launch button using a tag before the list of images (before
- ).
Launch a photo gallery or
.
The design of the button can be anything: in the form of a simple inscription, button, picture, etc. For example, such a button can be made using a thumbnail of a folder with pictures, as shown on the right. The example, again, is working, you can click!
Let's summarize.
PP Gallery is a universal photo gallery that can be easily and quickly installed on a website. It has an attractive appearance and advanced navigation capabilities using thumbnail previews, which in many cases allows you to avoid placing images on the main photo gallery page.
