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
