A photo gallery on a website is an everyday occurrence, and photo galleries are created not only by people professionally associated with images, to place their portfolio or to create a collection site, but also by the owners of company resources for display. He works for companies, and just web masters, as they say Graphic information must be displayed carefully.
After all, the function of creating a Joomla photo gallery does not work, but in the catalogue, an entire section is expanded, dedicated to only the additional ones that will be added - Photos & Images -> Galleries.
The most popular additional category - Phoca Gallery. Let's talk about him.
Phoca Gallery
This extension can be used as a component, as a module, or as a plugin. We have already looked at the differences of the skin type, and the situation is the same with Phoca Gallery. The component allows you to create galleries in the main part of the pages, replacing content, the module - displays images in specially designated places, the plugin - adds them to the middle of articles using a special code.
The possibilities of Phoca Gallery, especially in view of the catholic nature of everything, are truly great. The extension allows you to create sections of photos with a description of subcategories, display photos in full-screen mode in a variety of ways, automatically add a watermark to them from a PNG file created in advance, link images to Google Maps coordinates, and allow users to comment , evaluate photos, review their statistics, And then you can beautifully display videos from YouTube instead of pictures.
Or better yet, almost a hundred times, go to the demo site and open the gallery once in the action, scroll through the menu items on the left side of the page, because there’s really a lot there.
You can find Phoca Gallery either in the Joomla catalog, or on the retailer’s website, or in the admin panel (JED). You already know about how to install add-ons.
After installation, the Components menu will appear with one more item, going to where you can view the gallery.
Behind the scenes, the English version of the gallery is installed, and there is also a Russifier available for it, please note: you need to download another archive with one file in the middle: the first one is outdated, and they won’t be able to Russify it.
Unzip the entire archive and copy the single extracted file ru-UA.com_phocagallery.ini to two directories:
- I have a folder in mind http://site_addresses/language(on my local server tse shlyakh Z:\home\test1.ru\www\language).
- Up to the directory mind http://site_addresses/administrator/language(for installation on localhost - Z:\home\test1.ru\www\administrator\language).
The Phoca Gallery interface will immediately become Russian.
Before tim yak component koristuvatisya, edge bazhano yogo correctly nalashtuvati. To go to the settings, open Components -> Phoca Gallery and at the top right corner of the page that appears, click the Adjustment button. There are a lot of parameters; for ease of reference, they are grouped behind tabs.
I'll look at the categories. Tab for cleaning. Here the new look of the list of categories is adjusted: based on what criterion they will be sorted, the size and order of the categories displayed, etc. The activities of the spy group are not to blame.
Here the display of photographs in the middle of the category is adjusted, so that it is displayed at the moment when the group of pictures is already opened, and without clicking on one of them yet. Sorting, displaying icons and names, the ability to directly download images, displaying lists and buttons Categories and Back, as well as statistics parameters and much more. However, it is impossible to describe the elements of a particular sense, since it is practical for everyone to have a hint that is used: move the mouse pointer to the name of the item and after an hour the prompt will tell you why it is needed.
Detailed review. Those in which the image is displayed on the entire screen are adjusted here. The view of the on-screen window can be adjusted. Here you can set the parameters of the slide show (before speech, Phoca Gallery allows you to scroll through photos in this mode not only with the buttons on the screen, but also with the keys).
Main options. Regardless of the symbolic name of the tab, not all administrators can change its settings. And of course, here you can also set metadata, adjust RSS and geolocation.
Koristuvachi. Behind the character, there is a social tab. Here you can set the access level and customize the control panel, allow images to be added to your gallery on the website, enable ratings and comments.
Sketchy. Change settings for creating thumbnails, adding a watermark, adjusting the size of pictures, and selecting a couple of security settings.
Here is one of the most important instructions - size the image. On the right, after clicking on a picture, the component creates three copies: the large one (which is displayed on the entire screen), the middle one (sketch, visible in the categories, so that you can open the very picture you want to admire) and the small one (represents available in the admin panel to make it easier for you to navigate the collection).
In the area of Adjusting Image Sizes and the detailed window, you can adjust the width and height of the skin copy, and it will be easier to create before the gallery will always display the image, so that you can change the size of the copy later recreate.
Rights. The tab is useful if there are a number of groups of traders on the site and you want to determine who can work and who can’t.
Once you have completed the photo gallery, you can go to the next category.
Click Categories on the Phoca Gallery panel and click the Create button in the top left corner of the page to appear. Customize the category (at a minimum, enter its name), go through the tabs - add different parameters. Don’t worry about them, after getting to know Joomla, their meanings may be quite reasonable, and in extreme cases, hints will help.
While in the Phoca Gallery panel, click on Image, on the bottom side click Add Image, at the bottom of the same side click the Multi Image button, if you want to click on the image, then click Add files, select images and click Start Upload.
You can add a gallery to the site in the same way – by creating a separate menu item (read about how to do this here).
Author's view: It is often necessary to publish a variety of media content, as well as images and photographs, on the pages of a site. If so, the images will be grouped into one gallery. Therefore, in this lesson we will look at a very interesting extension for CMS Joomla - JoomGallery, with which you can easily organize a gallery of images on the site.
Installation of the component
The extension that we will look at in this lesson is called JoomGalery - it is even more advanced, with a large number of different adjustments and a lot of different additions.
First of all, let's install this extension, for which we go to the official Joomla website in the extensions section: http://extensions.joomla.org/. Then we go to the Photos & Images category, and in the Popular section we find the JoomGalery extension. By clicking on the Download button, we are redirected to the website of the distributor of this extension.
The Component section requires the JoomGalery component, and the Languages section requires the necessary localization of this extension. In the Modules section there is a required image display module for the JoomImages 3.0 gallery, and in the Plugins section there is a content image display plugin Content-Plugin JoomPlu and Editorbutton JoomBu (image insertion button). Then we install the extension extension.
Adding categories
The JoomGalery extension encourages the distribution of images across categories. So let's go to the category assistant and create two categories: gallery 1 and gallery 2.
Access – access for groups of clients to this category;
Exclude from toplists – include the category of these top lists?
Exclude from search – turn off the search category?
Vlasnik – choice of the ruler;
Placement of thumbnails – order of placement of thumbnails.
Basic setup
Let's go to the settings assistant and you will see even more settings and all of them are grouped behind the following tabs.
Basic settings tab. Paths and catalogs.
On this tab you can enter folders to save images in galleries. The gallery has three types of images:
The original images are images that fascinate the artist with unchanged dimensions.
Detailed View Image – The copy of the image that appears on the Detailed View side of the image has been changed. Make sure the border is 400px wide;
The miniature of the desired image is a very small copy of the desired image.
Substitution. Here you can specify the parameters for replacing non-standard characters in file names that are interesting.
Photo editing— Adjustments related to the processing of photographs during the hour of their attraction to the gallery. Parameters that are of interest:
Change the size - why it is necessary to change the size of the image at the time of attraction;
Maximum size of photographs – limiting the size of the image for review;
Brightness – the brightness at which the image will be sharpened (100 – without loss of brightness);
Width of mini-sketches, Height of mini-sketches – dimensions for miniatures.
You would like to know what to enlarge the images, and then change the thumbnail size in the settings. Then you will have to delete all the enchanted images and enchant them again. Changes in size will only be effected at the moment of clicking on the image.
Congratulations— Adjustment of various system notifications and notifications about amends.
Additional functions- Various additional functions.
Additional image
The image in the gallery can be enhanced in five different ways:
Drag'n "Drop Upload – a great deal of love can be depicted at once (it is more correct to add it to the drawing, since the love will end up in any case);
The Drag'n'Drop Upload method is most suitable for me, which is the same as the vikory one. Let's add the image to the Gallery 1 category.

Further in the settings, the thumbnail sizes will change, and even more images in Gallery 2, so the thumbnails of the Gallery 2 category will be smaller in size, below the Gallery 1 category. Now if the images are added, You can take a look at them - by moving to a photography assistant.
View gallery on screen
To display the gallery on the screen, create a new main menu item. When selecting a menu item type, select JoomGalery:
I have selected the menu item Categories: standard view, so that the page displays the data of one specific category. In the settings you need to select which categories will be displayed. Now let's marvel at how the gallery looks:
Setting up the gallery (part 2)
Now let's see what other parameters are available to us.
Tab Rights of owners.
Zavantazhennya koristuvach through "My gallery"– JoomGalery encourages you to display your website through the user interface and on this sub-input you can adjust the parameters of this mechanism.
entice– Adjustment of parameters for gallery acquisition.
Ratings- Adjustment of the ability to deprive the ratings of gallery elements.
Comments- Parameters of the JoomGalery comment system.
Reports- Adjusting the strength of skargas among koristuvachs.
Tab Customization of the customer interface.
Here is a summary of the main view of the gallery. Once again, there is plenty to be done, otherwise I would have settled on the sub-insert of the Upper and lower sections. As you melodiously noted, when looking at the gallery, it consists of three blocks. The top block (header), the central block, the images and the bottom block are displayed. Thus, the axis of the sub-tab of the Upper and lower sections allows you to adjust the display of the gallery header and footer. On this page I turn on the display of all elements. When you look at our gallery on the page, we see the following:
In my opinion, it looks prettier.
Gallery Look Tab– place just one sub-tab and allow you to customize the look of the gallery’s main page. This side represents the type of menu Head side: standard view. On this page all categories are displayed, added to the image gallery.
Category display tab– on this contribution, we have selected the page that you have already created to view the gallery on our website, so that the page will be displayed in a specific category. Here we see the available options:
Show feed icon – enables the display of the RSS news icon;
Rotating of mini-esques / parts - in the center;
Show number of Downloads – no;
Showing the number of comments – none;
Show Vlasnik - no;
Display of the number of ratings – no.
Now let’s save the change and marvel at what came out of us.
Detail View tab– in this section, you will find a detailed overview of the image on the page. We can use this on this side by clicking on the gallery image thumbnail. The axis is given side by side:
Tab Adjustment of TOP lists- Setting up top lists. Top lists - a series of posts at the top and bottom of the gallery:
TOP 12: Highest ratings - Newest - Remaining comments - Most popular
I also recommend that you turn them on, for which the vikory is tuned Showing TOP lists same meaning DO NOT show.
Poshuk tab- Adjustment of images by searching the gallery. Since we don’t have enough images in the gallery, I’ll also turn on the vikoryst parameter Show search.
Let’s save the change and be amazed at what happened:
JoomGalery modules and plugins
To expand JoomGalery it is written to add a lot of different modules and plugins. For example, you have already installed a module and two plugins. The module displays gallery images on the screen of a specific category and all categories of JoomGalery.
Installed plugins must be activated, and the plugins work in pairs, while JoomPlu displays images in the page content, and JoomBU displays a button for adding an image to the material.
Now I have created a test material “Gallery Test”, in which images from the JoomGalery are displayed.
At this point this lesson can be completed. Good luck to you and far away code!
