[PGtheme Clone -> PGlightbox] Updated Version for G-2.2-SVN

Sure would be interested. Combination of PG theme and lightbox has got to be a killer!

Started a Codex Page at http://codex.gallery2.org/index.php/PGlightbox ... is this what you mean?
Will add file as soon as Quality-Checked ;)
Thanks floridave

Excellent potential here Lutz, I congratulate you.

I've done a fresh install of gallery and your PGlightbox 1.1.2 and it works, beautifully, its a little slower than other themes, but well worth it!

I do see one minor thing,

If you go to my dev page (below), you will notice some photos in the top level gallery and 1 album. the album works perfectly, but if you click on the photos right on the first gallery page, you'll get a perpetual spinner. The solution obviously is to put all your photos into a discrete album. Just thought I'd let you know

I am working all night to implement this just as I want it, I'll keep you up to date with any other issues.

Thanks, NOEL

Excellent. This is very, very good. Dropping everything to throw up a site and give it a whirl. Looks very good...

nlk public,

the preload is a little CSS function which loads the resize as hidden pick ready to be picked by the Lightbox, the Lightbox script normaly has an issue if invoked until the page has been fully loaded. I patched the offical script to allow initialisation already before the page has been fully loaded. (You won't see the spinning circle if it loads this 'preload').
The process of preloading will take some time - and if you click a "later" image to early, it will take until available ...

I have had a few photos too which resisted to be "lightboxed" and found that these give no ItemId (you see "ItemId= " in the Infobar of your browser) and saw that these are having really no resize available. I found having missed to update add a line in theme.inc - could you try the attached one?
I will update the distribution - including the changes for the latest SVN this night (Emergency Links)

;) you're findings are really appreciated.
I'm hoping for a soon release of IE 7, which will finally handle CSS properly...
For the other thing - let me check the lightbox script ... can you verify that you load the lightbox.js from \images\lb\js ?

the "?g2_enterAlbum" can be easily removed - just removing the arg3 from the item/resize calls - it simply ensures the album / picture differentiation.
I didn't see a reason to remove it (was never annoyed by it) but this could be a easy step to be removed (from album.tpl, where the URL's are formed).

drhiii,

Thanks - the EXIF and Comment Blocks should already fly ...

have you already tried to click inside one of the EXIF's and move it?
Is this what you mean? Or do you mean addition Text-"Light"-boxes for the Metadata?

This looks quite cool.
The folks at TripTracker.net have decided to share their JavaScript slideshow with the rest of the Web.
Just import their script in your web page to add a cool popup slideshow.
http://blog.triptracker.net/2006/09/08/revamped-slideshow/

Not sure how well this would work for large albums.

swordfish, this looks cool - and easy to put into the code - if you navigate to an album page, you'll see an additional slideshow icon (on top).

Check the guest-album http://localmail.dynip.com/GALLERY2/v/Guest+Album/ (there's only one - this slideshow)

Not really ...

I sort of gave up :$ ... I got to the point where the bar for the slideshow would show up but no pic loaded ... lemme see if my patience will pay off this time. I'm going to time it and let you know

EDIT: it took about 2:45m to fully load the page and after that only 23s to load the slideshow thing.
Once it's all loaded FF works it's magic and navigating between picture is a breeze

Palinus,
Thanks and ...
- disable the Photopage - in principle yes, but would require removing the Popup link
- show descriptions - yes, I currently take the Item Name - the markup should be no issue - I might make it configurable in a future release...

look in album.tpl around Line 665 for

{if !($child.canContainChildren)}
   rel="lightbox[x]"  
   title='{$child.title|markup}<br><a href="{g->url arg1="view=core.ShowItem" arg2="itemId=`$child.id`"}">View Photo Page</a>'
{else}

and change to

{if !($child.canContainChildren)}
   rel="lightbox[x]"  
   title='{$child.description|markup}<br><a href="{g->url arg1="view=core.ShowItem" arg2="itemId=`$child.id`"}">View Photo Page</a>'
{else}

will make the trick for the moment. (You can try to use " {$child.summary|markup|entitytruncate:256}", too - will make it probably more readable.
(You might have to play with the " and ' to get it workable.

#overlay{
position: absolute;
top: 0;

z-index: 90;
width: 100%;
height: 500px;
background-color: #fff;
filter:alpha(opacity=100);

You will have to update your gallery to 2.2 the SVN or a nightly:

panoviews,

the Lightbox script handles only images - if these are available, the display in the lightbox is easy - I assume the Maps are a bit more difficult. But I found
already lightbox clones which are able to open even whole webpages. This could be a way - I see it for the moment more on the module - it would have to be implemented
on the 'map clicks' ... what do you think Termite?

thanx LFrank ;)

Floridave,

Thanks for your reply, but I tried several times to understand the process of SVN and so far I'm still feeling lost with the monster documentation, could you please say some quick steps to start? I will do my best to catch up and do the rest

Thanks!

aagons, if you want to avoid the SVN-hazzle, you might consider using the Nightly's until you get familiar with SVN.

drhiii,

Thank You! I havn't included custom fields yet - only started to play with the other blocks to display a flying add comment.
Could you give me some more details what you like to achieve with the custom fields... I assume this could be a logical next
step but can't think about examples at the moment.

Holy cow!! This is great. I ***do*** have ideas or examples about how information, additional metadata, these custom fields, can be presented.

Here are some thoughts. I have LONG felt that G2 has so many excellent features. But something that is plain missed in all the online image applications is presentation. Here's what I mean...

When we walk into a museum, a gallery, even when we look at a coffee table book of photos, what do we look at first? We look at the image.

The internet has made all this, backwards.

It drives me crazy when I drop into image based sites, whether it is a photo site or a museum, whatever... because they all slap you in the face with text, and buttons, and clicks. I mena, we need these of course. But this is the exact opposite of how we as people come to an image. We view the image first. When we walk into a gallery for instance, our heads are up, looking generally at eye level, at stuff. Once we have looked at an image, we then look around for any other information that may be associated with the image. I don't care if it is a gallery or a book or Starbucks or Times Square.

So your PGlightbox is finally, FINALLY, the first thing I have seen that gets to this presentation method if "image first". Or as I say... leading with the image, and text or metadata is called in association to the image. All these sites that lead with text and stuff first are in my opinion, backwards to how we experience images in real life.

So having said all that, I am really, really, really psyched that you said you haven't implemented the Custom FIelds or other metadata calls yet but seem psyched, because I would totally get in to sharing some ideas. In my opinion, it would be a breakthrough in how people experience images on the internet. I know I know... there are examples of flying or floating boxes and screens, have been for a long time. But I have yet to see an truly effective use of this, and your theme, the vision of your theme, is knocking on the door of how to present images, how we maneuver in galleries, and what is soooooo cool now, how we can call into the screen, how associated information is presented too.

Can you tell I am psyched??? I would do this myself but I don't have these skills.

Let me spend some time this eve putting down some real simple ideas and see how you feel about them. But this is about the coolest thing I've seen in a long time. G2 is just plain awesome. But PGlightbox could add to it this idea of how we view images in real life.

Man, am I psyched or what???

Back later this eve....

I cannot seem to be able to activate this unfortunatley.

Gallery2 (v 2.2.x) based on PGtheme from WWW.PEDROGILBERTO.NET
Incompatible theme!
Core API Required: 7.0 (available: 7.3)
Theme API Required: 2.4 (available: 2.3)

I have the latest installation from this site. Can anyone shed any light on this prolem?
Thank you in advance.

cinnix,
could you shed some light on your Gallery version?
Your not running the latest Development Build of Gallery2 (2.2 SVN or Nightly)
