WonderCMS Gallery

Post by joshswlms »

Hello everyone!

First I just want to say thank you for this amazing product. I love that it is not overloaded, and is so simple to theme and create pages. It is nothing less than brilliant and I am so so happy that I found it. It is a game changer!

I am working on a website for a remodeling company and looking for a gallery to display their work, and have had some success with embedding Google albums (they work, but seem to stop working if you edit a page a seconnd time) and a couple of other embedded galleries (most of which require a monthly subsription or their branding) but was wondering if anyone knew of a working plugin or if there is one being developed?

Any information that anyone has is greatly appreciated!

Hey joshswlms,

there was a really old plugin which doesn't work anymore.
What type of gallery do you need?

I was thinking how to enable a really simple gallery for people to update without me checking every time and there is a way, but a bit clunky.
Here is a demo (masonry layout): https://jsfiddle.net/xywf5m7k/
Basic grid: https://jsfiddle.net/Lkv52rxw/

In Summernote editor create new table (one row, few columns). Switch to "code view" and add "table-gallery" class to table (there are already few classes generated).

Code: Select all

<table class="table-gallery">
Switch back from "code view" to normal editor.
Now click on empty field and drag&drop picture or use "Picture" button from Summernote menu. Also, options add column left or right and delete column are handy.
I didn't look into lightbox option and how to add links to pictures.

Hello Nox,

I appreciate you responding to my post. I tried the one that you are refferring to and also could not get it to work. Both of the demos you provided are great! I have been toying with them both, and they are both working well and will be a great way for me to start with the clients gallery.

Ideally I would like something like this: https://albumizr.com/
The main downfall is the token or icon in the bottom right corner after you create a gallery. The upside is that it is free. :) The concept itself is great for an embeded photo gallery and would make a great plugin. I am just still learning PHP and it is outside of my scope.

I also saw on another post and have reached out to the responder, Rob, who has apparently created a plugin, but have not yet heard anything from him. viewtopic.php?p=7630&hilit=thumpwerks#p7630

Albumizr is really great, works better and easier to use compared to Google Albums. It's worth looking into their main product jAlbum too.
There is a way to cover their logo with text block or icon, but just to disable additional options.
Information about author should be listed somewhere, like this example: https://jsfiddle.net/0o49137z/

Nox, you are my hero! I dug through their code trying to figure out how to eliminate the logo with display:none, etc and had zero luck and did not even think to use a wrapper:before. I really really appreciate your help with this! Hopefully others who are looking for a gallery for WCMS will come across this. Again, hero, I appreciate you! :D

Oh man, I'm glad I was able to help :D

<iframe> content from other sources ignores css styling.
Maybe it is possible with javascript but never looked into it.

Yeah, luckily Albumizr does allow you to set a transparent background, so it turned out looking pretty good.

It's still a work in progress but, you can take a look at how the page is going so far: https://hugheshomes.thewlms.com/

Thinking after it is finished and I have everything cleaned up I might change out the images and submit it as a theme. It's super light using Skeleton Boilermaker for the layout instead of Bootstrap. Feel free to let me know if you have any thoughts!
