Introduction
JO Image Gallery is a lightweight and flexible Joomla 5 plugin designed to create stunning image galleries with ease. Using a simple shortcode, you can display images from specific folders in your Joomla site with customizable layouts, hover effects, and responsive designs. The plugin integrates seamlessly with Fancybox, providing a modern lightbox experience for your users.
Whether you're building a portfolio, showcasing products, or sharing photos, JO Image Gallery makes it easy to manage and display your images professionally.
Key Features:
★ Simple Shortcode Integration: Use the {jogallery} or a predefined shortcode to display galleries directly in Joomla articles. Specify a folder name (e.g., {jogallery}my-folder{/jogallery}).
★ Customizable Root Folder: Set a default root folder (e.g., images/galleries/) in the plugin settings. All gallery folders are rooted under the specified directory for better organization.
★ Custom Image Dimensions: Set custom width and height for gallery images to ensure consistent sizing. Images are automatically cropped and centered.
★ Custom Appearance Settings:
★★ Image Dimensions: Set custom width and height for gallery images to ensure consistent sizing.
★★ Border Radius: Adjust the border radius for images and gallery items.
★★ Item Gap: Define spacing between gallery items for a clean layout.
★★ Background Color: Customize the background color of gallery items.
★★ Overlay Color: Customize the overlay color of gallery items.
★★ Border Customization: Set border width, color, and radius for gallery items.
★ Hover Effects with FontAwesome Icons: Add any FontAwesome icon that appears when users hover over images. Optionally load FontAwesome icons if your Joomla template doesn’t already include them, ensuring compatibility and consistent styling across your site.
★ Lightbox Integration: Built-in support for Fancybox, a modern JavaScript library for lightboxes. Clicking on an image opens it in a lightbox with smooth transitions and zoom effects.
★ Title Display Option: Choose whether to display the gallery title above the images. Automatically format folder names into user-friendly titles (e.g., my_folder becomes "My Folder").
★ Dynamic Parameter Handling: Shortcode parameters (e.g., width, height, and theme) are dynamically processed, allowing users to override default plugin settings directly within the shortcode. For example: {jogallery 300 200 minimal}my-folder{/jogallery} sets custom image dimensions (300x200), applies the "Minimal" theme, and targets the my-folder directory.
★ Older Plugin Compatibility: To ensure seamless integration with other popular gallery plugins like Simple Image Gallery and Sigplus, the {jogallery} shortcode can be replaced with their respective shortcodes (e.g., {gallery}). This allows users to migrate with existing gallery systems effortlessly, ensuring compatibility and reducing setup time.
★ Responsive Layouts: Choose from predefined Bootstrap column classes (e.g., col-auto, col-6, etc.) to control the number of columns displayed. A fully responsive design ensures galleries look great on all devices.
