CDN
- Go to '/admin/config/media/photoswipe' and enable the 'Load PhotoSwipe library from CDN' option
- Check the status report for errors
Then simply configure your image fields to use Photoswipe as their field display handler.
Note: If you would like to use the "Photoswipe Responsive" display formatter, please enable the core "Responsive Image" module first.
Extending modules
- PhotoSwipe Inline Text Filter: Provides a Text Filter to make your inline images (e.g. images inserted through CKEditor for example) use photoswipe without manually adding HTML / CSS
Special thanks to Dmytro Semenov for creating the photoswipe library!
Miscellaneous
In PhotoSwipe 5 the "Photoswipe image caption" option is present on the regular Display page of image fields (on
/admin/structure/types/manage/library/display), but missing for the same image field in a View. The solution is Drupal core issue #2686145: Formatter third party settings missing from Views UI, and you can patch Drupal core until it gets fixed.
