Simple Gallery

By michal frackowiak

Description

So how to make a veeeery simple gallery from your pictures? Suppose you do not want to use Flickr but rather attach files to the certain page.

In fact it will be just a collection of thumbnails. After you click the thumbnail, full-size image will be opened.

The very simple solution is to:

• create a page where you want to put browsable gallery.
• click on "files" (page options at the bottom) and "upload new file". upload the file.
• repeat this for all your image files.
• put the following piece of code:

[[gallery]]

or add some extra attributes, e.g.

[[gallery size="small"]]

And it should just work!

[[gallery size="medium"]]

More sophisticated usage of the [[gallery]] tag is described in the Wiki Syntax description page.

Any way to label your photos?

Is there any way to label your photos?

Allow users to comment?

Upload their own?

Link to a forum?

Of course - but not with gallery tag

But I think you mean this all a little ironic ?

Multiple galleries

Can you organize more than 1 gallery on a single page? I want to have different picture galleries appear in different tabs on one of my pages. Thanks!

Re: Multiple galleries: yes and no

The answer is - yes and no:

Yes - if you use different sources for the galleries : http://www.wikidot.com/doc:flickrgallery-module

( using different tags of flickr sorage - id's)

Yes - if you use the gallery not as a short - call ( as in the example page here) but with single image-source -definitions as in the description: http://www.wikidot.com/doc:wiki-syntax#toc25

NO: if you try to use the short form [[gallery]] there is no difference taken in the images of the page - all attached images are shown at this location of the gallery tag.

It would be goo to use any "include" page with a gallery tag with different attached images… but the include source is taken as it is and the images are not found if the pagename is not used ( like /pagename/image-name.jpg ).

NO: it is not a good idea to "overwhelm" any browser with lots of images - and only the first tab is shown at the beginnning of the download - the browser is loading and loading tons of images and nobody can see why in this moment - the other tabs are filled in the background.

"Tabs" mean - they are all incorporated at the one page and downloaded at the start of the page in one go.

And all images placed any where in the tabs too!

Multiple Image Galleries in tabview

VisCom 1243472067|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

Thanks for your reply!

As it turns out, I solved the problem by using the following syntax:

{[[tabview]]}
{[[tab Name of Tab 1]]}
{[[gallery]]}
{: Name of image file 1}
{: Name of image file 2}
{: Name of image file 3}
{[[/gallery]]}
{[[/tab]]}
[[tab Name of Tab 2]]

Sorry, can not load files attached to the page in this mode. You should specify sources for each image.

{: Name of image file 4}
{: Name of image file 5}
{: Name of image file 6}
{[[/gallery]]}
{[[/tab]]}
{[[/tabview]]}

Et cetera, et cetera!

I think this will serve my purposes without slowing things down too much.
