SIDEWAYS – jQuery fullscreen image gallery

SIDEWAYS – jQuery fullscreen image gallery

A simple, yet elegant fullscreen image gallery created with the jQuery library and CSS. The gallery features fullscreen images in various modes and custom scrollbars.

SIDEWAYS image gallery is made by implementation of some previous scripts and tutorials posted on this blog and some (minor) CSS3. It utilizes the jQuery UI (jQuery User Interface), jQuery Easing by George McGinley Smith and Brandon Aaron’s jquery mousewheel plugin.

I’ve included the complete gallery code on page 2 of this post.

Changelog

  • Nov 20, 2010
    • Minor code optimization
      Loading new image with different dimensions updates correctly
      Clicking on final image loads the first one (looping)
      Added original view mode option (no image scale)
      Change default view mode quickly by setting $defaultViewMode variable in the script
      Fixed conflict when placing links inside thumbnail panel
  • Oct 19, 2010
    • Added second script that utilizes native browser scrollbars and click to open panel mode (better suited for touch devices)
  • Sep 26, 2010
    • Script and code have been optimized significantly

    First of all, great gallery!

    I’m trying to pull the images from a directory with php, but I’m having some troubles.
    Only the first full screen image from the ‘space’ folder is pulled from the directory and it is being repeated.
    The thumbnails are being displayed just fine.

    I hope somebody can help me with this:

    //path to directory to scan $directory = "../gallery/imgs/space/"; //path to directory to scan $directoryth = "../gallery/imgs/space/thumbs/"; //get all image files with a .jpg extension. $imagez = glob("" . $directory . "{*.jpg,*.gif,*.png}", GLOB_BRACE); //get all image files with a .jpg extension. $images = glob("" . $directoryth . "{*.jpg,*.gif,*.png}", GLOB_BRACE); //print each file name foreach($imagez as $image) { foreach($images as $imageth) { echo "<a href='$image' / rel="nofollow"></a>"; } }

    Do you mind hosting the code on github.com??
    That way, you can have a nice versioning system.. AND people can help contributing to it!
    I could help you out if you need support putting it there 🙂

    (I dont work for github.. but I use it a lot for my own work. Besides a lot of major opensource software is hosted there because it’s just easy and powerful. twitter-bootstrap, html5 boilerpalte, backbone.js as well as many others are!)

    Cheers and Thank a lot bro ^^

      I wanted to host code on github.
      The thing is I’m currently re-design this site, working on a new plugin (I’ll post here of course) and I did upgrade my hosting server (due to traffic etc.)… so I’m pretty full at the moment.
      It would be awesome if you could help putting the code on github though 🙂 Especially, since I haven’t use it yet so I’ll need to see how it works etc. Can you help?

      Unfortunately at the moment you can’t reposition the slider (at least not without major script editing). I’ll try to find some time to update the script with such feature and post the updated version.

    This is close to what I’ve been looking for. Props to you sir!

    I wanted to have my Site Navigation Menu in the slide box (including images linking to recent entries listed downward), and my main content (such as an article) in the main container.

    How would I go about doing this?

    When I place an article in the main content area, I can’t scroll down.

    Feel free to contact me regarding compensation.
    Thanks in advanced.

    http://tee-se-itse.hongkong.fi/fi/kasityokalut/kasisahat-ja-terat/g-man-rautasaha/p/186526/
    When you click “iso zoomattava kuva” -button you see what I mean. That is a full screen.

      use this as a link

      <A href=# onClick=toggleFullScreen();event.preventDefault()>Click here for Full Screen</a>

      and this script after the gallery script

      <script>var bodyElement=document.getElementById("body"); function toggleFullScreen(){document.fullScreenElement&&null!==document.fullScreenElement||!document.mozFullScreen&&!document.webkitIsFullScreen?document.documentElement.requestFullScreen?document.documentElement.requestFullScreen():document.documentElement.mozRequestFullScreen?document.documentElement.mozRequestFullScreen():document.documentElement.webkitRequestFullScreen&&document.documentElement.webkitRequestFullScreen(Element.ALLOW_KEYBOARD_INPUT):document.cancelFullScreen?document.cancelFullScreen(): document.mozCancelFullScreen?document.mozCancelFullScreen():document.webkitCancelFullScreen&&document.webkitCancelFullScreen()}document.addEventListener("keydown",function(a){13==a.keyCode&&toggleFullScreen()},!1);</script>

    I use jquery dropkick and I have the following problems:
    1. I can’t scroll the select form options because it is scrolled the entire page (maybe conflict with the jquery mousewheel)
    2. I can’t close the select form only if I click on the select form (if I click anywhere else, the selct form simply don’t close)

    Hi there.

    Thank you very much for this wonderful piece of coding.
    I am not so experienced in JQuery or JavaScript and I tried to use my AS3 skills into solving one simple problem : making the default image clickable (as in going to the next one, without selecting a thumbnail) . Apparently my AS3 skills didn’t help. I read all the comments and I saw a similar one with no reply:

    I think that the solution is very simple, but I am just not able to see it. If you can drop a short line I would appreciate it very much.
    Keep up the good work and thank you again!

    i posted this awhile back

    “Is there any way to keep the gallery in $defaultViewMode=”full” but if the selected image is taller than it is wide automatically switch the defaultViewMode to “fit”?

    Do you have any suggestions?

    Hi,
    this is one great gallery. Thanx a lot for sharing it with us.

    I got one wish maybe for the next version. It would be great to have the next image already preloaded, so when clicking a image, the next one would be shown quit instantly.

    Best,
    Mario.

    You kept It smart and simple ! Slick and efficient ! Great job !

    By the way, I have a super ego, I’m lazy and nut crusher 😉 so I currently try to enhance your code to be more like a “real jquery plugin” than “just” some js code wandering around. Plus, I port it to Coffeescript (I’m a nut crusher, remember ? ;D ).
    You didn’t seam to use any licence for your code, nor a code repo (like sourceforge, github, etc.).

    So, here are the questions:

    -Do you grant me the right to put the code under something like GPL 3+ or LGPL at least ?

    -Do you have any preference for a code repo or can I use github as I wanted in first place ?

    Thank you again for this beautiful gallery !

      Awesome setup man… 😀
      I’ve got this working with BBQ Deep-linking perfectly. Plus im using Drupal 7 to create relationship based galleries that house One Image Per Node image-nodes, this brings commenting ability & super simple gallery/image creation/management etc… im still working on adding more features such as loading the other related content via ajax, but its looking good!

      Thanks for the inspiration!

      Cheers!

    Hi, Brilliant code, thanks!

    Just wanted to check, I’m not great with javascript and their may be a quick solution. Has anyone added a history plugin to the script?

    I downloaded this jquery history plugin http://tkyk.github.com/jquery-history-plugin/ but I’m just shooting in the dark trying to get it to work..

    Any ideas?

    Thanks, Nick
