![]() ![]() Which brings us to the reason I posted this topic. It has a lot of cool features, and is very customizable, but it’s also built with jQuery, and it hasn’t been updated since Jan 2021, so I don’t expect a vanilla JS version is in its future. And it also uses jQuery, so just another reason to find a replacement. Create the plugin : import Vue from vue import VueLightGallery from vue-light-gallery Vue.use(VueLightGallery). Add lightgallery.js library file to a local folder (assets) Add the file path to the scripts array of the. Visual Lightbox was unique in that the software automatically generated thumbnails from the full-sized images (something I’ve yet to find in any other lightbox software,) but I’ve recently noted bugs in Visual Lightbox on mobile devices, and it’s unlikely they’ll fix them since the last update to the program was August 2021. I was able to use the library after the steps described below. Most of these programs have become outdated, and there are better alternatives out there now.Īnd as you noted, they really haven’t been actively been developing or updating WOWSlider (or any of the other programs I mentioned.) WOWSlider uses jQuery, which we’re moving away from, and it’s a rather cumbersome install anyway. They were all originally free versions with watermarks, and I think it was around $79 to buy the whole package that removed the watermarks, so I bought it.Įventually, it seems they all got acquired (or were possibly already owned) by the company that makes the (relatively awful) Mobirise website builder. Way back when I first got into web development, I bought a whole suite of programs that included WowSlider, Visual Lightbox, Video Lightbox, CSS3 Menu Maker, Vista Photo Gallery, jQuery Menus and one or two others. If I want the use a different name for the images, I can use find/replace.ĭoing it like this, I can build a gallery with hundreds of photos in a few minutes. Then I just name my images accordingly and point the image source in script to the folder that contains the images and thumbnails and upload it to the server. When I build a large gallery using something like Nanogallery, I have a pre-made code snippet that contain lines like this… Īnd this goes all the way up to whatever number I want. You have to add all the thumbnails and full-sized images in BSS, then insert them one-by-one onto the page, and then link all the full sized images. The Lightbox included with BSS is fine for small galleries with a couple of dozen images, but it becomes a bit cumbersome when you want to create a large gallery with 50-100 images.
