Stéphane Caron – No Margin For Errors

prettyPhoto 3.0 feature requests.

December 22nd 2009

With the recent release of prettyPhoto 2.5.5, I want to start planning the 3.0 release. I already have some stuff I want to implement and I’d like to get the community input to make sure everyone is happy. Here’s what planned so far:

1) Ability to initialize multiple prettyPhoto with different settings.
2) When opening a gallery, have the gallery opened inside prettyPhoto so the user can quickly navigate through items.
3) Slideshow!

Let me know what you’d like!

As for the estimated ETA…when it’ll be done.

    Cool. Slideshow would be really nice thing.

    If I may suggest to also add support for more video formats. You announced it once but I guess it`s forgotten.

  2. dave says:

    2.5 looks nice so far.
    the only thing i’d love to see is a thinner border or no border skin.
    i know we could change your skins the way we want, but some skin like fanybox would be great.

    anyway.. i love this plugin.

  3. Ahmed says:

    i love this plugin, i’m still struggling though on getting the transparency working on i.e 6

  4. I second IE6 bug fix.

    I’d like some optimizations to make it faster as well.

  5. DAn says:

    I’d love for it to work with the jQuery gallery plugin, Gallerfic.

    PrettyPhoto break IE6 when html contains

    body { background: #ffffff; }

    .columns { clear: both; width: 100%; //padding-right: 1px; //overflow-x: hidden; }
    .columns .a, .columns .b { float: left; }
    .columns .a { width: 30%; background: #ccffcc; }
    .columns .b { width: 70%; background: #ffcccc; }

    FLICKR! Oh, please add some form of flickr integration into prettyPhoto. I’d love to be able to easily post flickr photos and galleries on my blog using prettyPhoto.

  11. Joel says:

    Yello!

    Nice plugin mate.

    I do have a suggestion. I would love to have the prev/next buttons over the picture always present, not only on mouse hover. Maybe with some transparency by default and 100% opaque on mouse hover.

    Congrats

  12. robert stewart says:

    whatever you come up with, I am very much looking forward to it.

  13. me says:

    What about this feature:

    If you use prettyPhoto to for video sites (like youtube & vimeo) it would be awsome, if a thumbnail of the video could be loaded automatically from the web site, the video is coming from.

    e.g.

    greets.

  14. Nick says:

    The iframes would be more useful if you didn’t have to mangle the URL to get them to work, it’s preventing me from using a PayPal link as it causes the request to fail!

    Otherwise: great!

  15. dave says:

    @nick
    you can add the parameters for iframe after your URL. This works great for me.

  16. Amien says:

    Ability to launch prettyPhoto from code

  17. SunJoo says:

    First thanks for the great script and if I may please to add automatic youtube image thumbnail, it will be great. The mootools version, http://videobox-lb.sourceforge.net/ is the one quite easy for getting thumbnail image.

    Cheers

    How do I remove the 1 of 2 records and the arrows images?
    Helpppppp

  19. dave says:

    @herold
    the div is called “pp_nav”.
    try to hide it in the css.. this should work

  20. David says:

    Love the plugin. Request would be to have the option to use JW Player as the player.

  21. rc says:

    Is there a way to add a link to the description either via title or alt text?

  22. dave says:

    @rc
    encode html entities of your link tag you want to add in the description und paste it in die ALT attribute of the link where you launch prettyPhoto. This works with images too.

  23. Dave says:

    First of I’d like to mention that I love this plugin very much. One thing that I think might come handy is maybe add a thumbnail navigation instead of only the “Next / Prev” DIVs.

  24. nicmare says:

    nice feature!

  25. I love this plugin, I have currently used many projects. I is very nice

  26. Emily H says:

    Thanks so much for this plugin. I was looking high and low for a javascript gallery which would resize to full screen, or at least to fill the viewport. I only found this accidentally when someone mentioned it in passing about something unrelated. It would be great if you added these search terms “resize to fill viewport” to the features list as it will help other people find it.

    My feature request is more of a bug fix I guess: if a title is being shown under the image and it is too long (which is more likely when the image isn’t very wide) then the text wraps onto another line and it pushes the back/forward buttons down and out of the box so you can’t see them. I had a look into fixing this but it is complicated: the height on the pp_content div would need to be adjusted and this is generated by javascript calculations on the fly.

    Please add Video Slideshows with formats – FLV, MP4, QT, SWF,AVI…for starters???

    Thanks.

  28. Michael says:

    It would be sooo helpful if iframes in prettyPhoto could automatically expand and contract according to their contact

  29. Michael says:

    Further to last comment – I should elaborate on why this would be so helpful. Forms, forms forms!

    It would mean that results of forms ie. “submit success” or “you haven’t filled out this bit or the next bit etc” would now all look much slicker without either too much space or scroll bars appearing.

  30. jak099 says:

    Autoplay Button – for bundles of images, MOV, SWF etc

  31. Geler says:

    An option in the API to remove the auto position update. I would like it to open at center but don’t move when we scroll. Like facebook’s modal window.
