• Eyelash / php jquery image management
  • Silverstripe Jquery gallery module

    Silverstripe CMS, currently relying on prototype for javascript and AJAX interactions, seems to be moving slowly to JQUERY : while contributors and developers might think this is a good move, I personnally wonder about the effort required for such a migration on an interface that relies heavily on AJAX. Anyway, I provide below a quick hack opf the famous gallery module, with the following modifications (demo coming soon) :

    • uses jquery’s lightbox implementation of modal galleries.
    • implements GalleryFolder Page type that displays first thumbnail of each gallery sub page

    How to : setup jquery  gallery for silvestripe

    • download jquery and add the requirement to your main page OR gallery page
    • download gallery-jquery for silverstripe (384ko) and install it as gallery module
    • flush your database (/db/build?flush=1)
    • include GalleryPageContent in your template or GalleryFolderContent

    that should be it, have fun

      Hey, maybe you could help me…

      I install everything correctly, added the page, then I get this error when I view it.

      [Warning] file_get_contents() [function.file-get-contents]: Filename cannot be empty

      Not sure how to fix this. Thanks
