  • galleriesList component, display list of galleries
  • gallerySlug component, display in a page a gallery based on his URL
  • galleryId page snippet, display in a page a gallery based on his ID

Galleries list

Use the galleryList component to display a list of latest galleries on a page. The component has the following properties:

  • galleryPage - path to the gallery details page. The default value is galleries/gallery - it matches the pages/galleries/gallery.htm file in the theme directory. This property is used in the default component partial for creating links to the gallery images.
  • categoryPage - path to the category page. The default value is galleries/category - it matches the pages/galleries/category.htm file in the theme directory. This property is used in the default component partial for creating links to the gallery images.
  • galleriesPerPage - how many galleries to display on a single page (the pagination is supported automatically). The default value is 9.
  • pageNumber - this value is used to determine what page the user is on, it should be a routing parameter for the default markup. The default value is {{ :page }} to obtain the value from the route parameter :page.
  • noGalleriesMessage - message to display in on empty galleries list.

The galleryList component injects the following variables to the page where it's used:

  • galleries - a list of galleries loaded from the database.
  • category - the galleries category object loaded from the database. If the category is not found, the variable value is null.
  • galleryPage - contains the value of the galleryPage component's property.
  • categoryPage - contains the value of the categoryPage component's property.
  • pageParam - contains the value of the current viewing page.
  • noPostsMessage - contains the value of the noPostsMessage component's property.

The component supports pagination and reads the current page index from the :page URL parameter. The next example shows the basic component usage:

title = "Show galleries"
url = "/galleries/:page?"
layout = "default"
is_hidden = 1

[viewBag]
localeUrl[fr] = "/galeries/:page?"
localeTitle[fr] = "Affiche une liste de galleries"

[galleriesList]
galleryPage = "galleries/gallery"
categoryPage = "galleries/category"
galleriesPerPage = 6
pageNumber = "{{ :page }}"
noGalleriesMessage = "No gallery found"
==
{% component 'galleriesList' %}

The next example shows the basic component usage with the category filter:

title = "Galleries Category"
url = "/galleries/category/:slug/:page?"

[galleriesList]
categoryFilter = "{{ :slug }}"
==
function onEnd()
{
    // Optional - set the page title to the category name
    if ($this->category)
        $this->page->title = $this->category->name;
}
==
{% if not category %}
    <h2>Category not found</h2>
{% else %}
    <h2>{{ category.name }}</h2>

    {% component 'galleriesList' %}
{% endif %}

The galleries and the pagination are coded in the default component partial plugins/hounddd/lightgallery/components/galleries/default.htm. If the default markup is not suitable for your website, feel free to copy it from the default partial and replace the {% component %} call in the example above with the partial contents.

The gallerySlug component injects the following variables to the page where it's used:

  • gallery - the gallery object loaded from the database. If the post is not found, the variable value is null.
  • noImagesMessage - contains the value of the noImagesMessage component's property.

The next example shows the basic component usage on the gallery page:

title = "Display a gallery"
url = "/gallery/:slug"
layout = "default"
is_hidden = 1

[viewBag]
localeUrl[en] = "/galerie/:slug"
localeTitle[fr] = "Affiche une galerie"

[gallerySlug]
slug = "{{ :slug }}"

counter = "true"
controls = "true"
download = "true"
escKey = "true"
