Hey I’m not dead. Neither is prettyPhoto. My last update dates back to March 15th, I’ve been quite busy. Part of it is job, the other part has been Final Fantasy 13

But the good news is, I have been working on prettyPhoto during that time. So today I release an updated beta version with several bug fixes that were in the previous version.

Here are the full details:

I suggest you test it on your website, you can find a zip file here: http://no-margin-for-errors.com/demos/prettyphoto_3.0/prettyPhoto_3.0b.zip

Please note that since it’s a beta, you should retest everything on your own to make sure nothing breaks.

Here it is! The beta version of prettyPhoto 3.0. Why beta? Because there are several big changes in this version and before making it official, I really want it to be working properly. I tested the usual stuff myself, but I really want to throw it out to the community so you guys can test it.

Summary of changes

• Ability to initialize multiple prettyPhoto with different settings
• When opening a gallery in prettyPhoto an inline gallery is presented over the photo. See post thumbnail.
• Slideshow! See settings in jquery.prettyPhoto.js
• Changed defaut theme, “facebook” theme is now default.
• Changed the default speed to fast, feels snappier now.
• Code optimization, removed about 70 lines of crap.

Allright, I’ll be very honest with you. I introduced some bugs in prettyPhoto 2.5.5. Luckily those I’m aware of just got fixed!

I fixed:

• A bug where the loader icon wouldn’t display properly;
• A bug where the videos would still play when prettyPhoto was closed;
• A bug where prettyPhoto wasn’t displaying properly upon re-initialization.

If you still see some bugs (hey, I’m human!) or need some support, check out the support forums.

Head over the project page to download it!

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.

It’s here, new prettyPhoto! Added new features, modified the settings, optimized the code a bit.

New features

Inline content support. You now just have to link to the ID of the element you want to open in prettyPhoto and prettyPhoto will do the rest.

I also added support for Vimeo, just link the the video page and prettyPhoto will do the rest.

New theme! I’ve bundled a new theme inspired by the facebook modal box.

Settings changes

Added wmode as a setting. You can now specify if your flash movie needs to be opaque or transparent.

Added autoplay as a setting. You can now specify if you want the movies to start playing as soon as they are opened in prettyPhoto…or not!

prettyPhoto markup, flash markup, quicktime markup and inline content markup are now in settings. So if you ever need to modify flash params, add bits of HTML you can change these settings and you’re set.

How to upgrade?

As usual, just replace the javascript and css file with the new one. Add the facebook theme images in case you want to use that theme and you’re set!

Where is it?
