Fotorama - responsive jQuery gallery, installation and configuration. Web design and search engine optimization
Hi all! Today we will talk about perhaps the best free photo gallery, video and photo slider, let's talk about “photo frame”. Despite the fact that the script has not been supported for 2 years and the author switched to a project on a similar topic, it works great and continues to please the eye.
Main advantages (+)
Minuses (-)
First option for connecting Fotorama
Checking for jQuery. Go to the source code of the site (keyboard shortcut Ctrl + U) → trying to find something like this line: https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/X.X.X/jquery.min.js
To make your search easier, use Ctrl + F . If the coveted line is not there, then you will have to connect jQuery. On WordPress, this can be done by pasting the code below into the theme's functions file (functions.php). In fact, this script is used when there are conflicts between different versions of jQuery and it operates according to the following scheme: it deletes the previously registered jQuery, registers a new one, and displays the script. Current versions of the jQuery library can be found here.
In this connection option, script files will be displayed only on the necessary pages via [shortcode]. And if you use the Autoptimize plugin, then the script code will also be integrated into the theme files. These simple manipulations should increase the site loading speed.
The gallery is displayed in HTML code using container c class="fotorama", the container contains the image output code or link to image . When writing an article using the WordPress engine, switch the editor to text mode and enter the container c class="fotorama" .
It looks like this:
Or like this (numbering of links is optional):
1 3 4
Examples of Fotorama settings Container dimensionsThe size of the photo frame block is the size of the first image, other images are scaled in proportion to the first. To correct this situation, you can specify the dimensions manually.
There are other settings:
Data-width="98%" //relative width data-ratio="800/600" //aspect ratio data-minwidth="420" //min. width data-maxwidth="900" // max. width data-minheight="320" // min. height data-maxheight="100% // relative max height data-height="100% // relative height
MiniaturesData-nav="thumbs" is responsible for thumbnails
But this method is not very effective, since the script has to load all the photos at once to generate thumbnails, so it would be more rational to prepare small copies of the pictures in advance. WordPress automatically creates thumbnails, which is what we will use. To get a link to the thumbnail, add -70x70 to the file name (https://site/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/27ltl9eRXk.jpg → https://site/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/27ltl9eRXk- 70x70.jpg).
By default, the thumbnail is 64 × 64. You can adjust this parameter using data-thumbwidth (width) and data-thumbheight (height). If you need the thumbnail to have its own size, then set the width and height parameters for the thumbnail file:
Photoframe perfectly processes HTML and CSS, which significantly expands the functionality of the script. Work with links, blocks, tables, paragraphs, write CSS and much more. Below are some examples of the gallery's work. If the visual part is not displayed, then click the "Result" button.

47. jqFancyTransitions
The jQuery library appeared in 2007. Since then, a huge number of plugins have been developed using it, including image galleries. They are replete with beautiful frames, decent animation 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 using javascript is 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
One more image gallery has appeared on the Internet :)
As a further development of the gallery, you can implement the ability to enlarge and 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 out of this large set of icons only 4 of them are used.
Hello everyone!
Developers of all stripes, when creating their next web project, are often interested in the question of how to present their users with various types of images, be they photographs or sets of pictures. For this, the inquisitive minds of the online space, for the most part of course this is a “bourgeois” space, are looking for more and more new solutions to create spectacular, colorful, and most importantly functional slide shows and photo galleries. For the most part, they are customized by developers to fit the design of the template of the web project being created, or in the form of plugins and modules for a specific site management engine. It’s worth looking at modern templates for, not a single theme, with rare exceptions, can do without some kind of plug-in slider or simple image rotator. So it’s understandable that many web developers want to have something like this in their arsenal and surprise their readers to the fullest by effectively presenting images on their sites.
Continuing the ongoing series of reviews of emerging new solutions when creating, I decided to put together a more complete collection of the most interesting and effective slideshows and photo galleries I have ever encountered, created using the magic of jQuery.
I would like to warn you right away that the resources discussed in the review are mainly in English, but I think whoever needs it will figure it out intuitively or with the help of translators, of whom there are a dime a dozen. And if you search hard enough, you can find descriptions of the technique for creating some galleries and sliders in Russian, since many of our web developers translate while working on a particular project, first for themselves, and then post detailed descriptions of all their manipulations for free access .
For example, this is what I did, when I was working on the mechanism for creating , I first found a gallery option that was suitable for me in the burzhunet, translated it for a better understanding of what I was doing, and in the future this turned out, I dare to hope, not a bad article about using the Highslide script, with examples of work in various application variations.
And so, enough of the unnecessary lyrics, let's move on directly to the review, watch, read brief explanations and choose from a huge number of new jQuery plugins and scripts for implementing interesting image sliders, photo galleries, slide shows on your sites: with automatic and manual change sliders, background image sliders, with and without thumbnails, etc. and so on...
