Views jQFX Galleria

Description

This module integrates the Aino Galleria image gallery plugin with views.

Drupal Demo

Features

Aino's Galleria is an extremely powerful javascript plugin for creating first class customizable photo galleries. Combined with the power of views, it should cover just about any need.

Galleries can be created from multiple image fields per node (or other entity), or multiple nodes can be grouped into a single gallery.

Galleria provides support for carousels, sliders, autoplayers, lightboxes (built into the plugin), titles, captions, fullscreen mode, image panning, and more.

Themes are customizable. Additional themes are available from Aino.

Dependencies

• Chaos Tools
• Views
• Libraries: for dev version as of 09/20/11
• Views jQFX

Installation Notes

It requires the Galleria plugin from Aino available here:
http://galleria.aino.se

Follow the instructions in the README file. They are pretty thorough.

Development Status

New features since alpha1

• Admin menu organized with fieldsets
• Libraries: this dependency will be important for organizing plugin versions. Be sure this module is installed and enabled before trying to update from 7.0-alpha1.
• The module now takes care of image styles (main, thumb, fullscreen) instead of views fields.
• Theme auto detection
• Preprocess function rewritten to facilitate new features.
• Field mapping - this new feature allows choosing any field in your view to override the default and become that part of the photo gallery.
• Image field - works, but field must be of type image.
• Title field - seems to work. Normally the image title attribute is the image title in the gallery. It's now possible to chose any view field to be the title.
• Description field - seems to work. Normally the image alt attribute is the image description in the gallery. It's now possible to chose any view field to be the description.
• Link field - working on it.
• Layer field - works. Options available to select fields for html titles and text. This option requires Galleria version 1.2.5 or greater.

Roadmap

• Link field mapping - requires image longdesc attribute which is not supported by drupal. Need to write a new image formatter.
• Mapping the image source to non image field - The plan is to have the ability to select something like a node body as the images source and have the module pull all the images from that node body into an image gallery.
• Support galleria ad-dons - like flickr and picasa.

This module is depricated.

All things noted in the roadmap above need to be moved over to http://drupal.org/project/galleria

Galleria is very well written and can handle it. It's a better base to build from. I've used (stolen) the galleria admin code in a couple of projects. IMO it rocks and that kroiman dude is brilliant.

We need to get HTML layers and field mapping moved over to that project.
