Adds an image gallery to your silverstripe website.
This module was created by i-lateral.
Although this module can be extended with your own templates / JavaScript, the default makes use of:
The CoffeeScriper and his JavaScript adgallery.
Install this module either by downloading and adding to:
[silverstripe-root]/gallery
Then run: http://yoursiteurl.com/dev/build/
Or alternativly add to your projects composer.json
Once installed, you can add a gallery to your site by creating a "gallery page" from within the CMS.
Under the gallery tab, you can then upload as many images as needed.
If you wish to change the width and height of the gallery images loaded, you can do this using the Gallery Config object (in you _config, or controller).
Gallery config has a static method called setDimensions() to do this.
For example, if you wanted to set your gallery to be 900px wide by 300px high, in your _config.php file use:
GalleryConfig::setDimensions(900,300);
You can also use standard SS config to set GalleryConfig's statics, eg:
GalleryConfig::config()->width = 900;
These are the config options that can be set through GalleryConfig
width (default: 800): Width in PX of gallery images height (default: 400): Height in PX of gallery images background (default: ffffff): If we use a padded image, set the background colour thumb_width (default: 150): Width in PX of thumbnail images thumb_height (default: 100): Height in PX of thumbnail images resize_type (default: crop): Type of resize to use on images, this can be:
- crop: Crop image to exact size
- pad: Pad image to size and add whitespace
- ratio: Perform a ratio resize of images
By default, the galllery plugin uses jQuery Ad Gallery To set itself up, it calls the ss_galleries jquery plugin (gallery/javascript/ss_galleries.js).
If you want to switch out this behaviour, you can remove the default ss_galleries file and replace it with your own (in your controller or template).
