simple solution for basic gallery styles

[AmyGail]

I'm working on a site and noticed that WP galleries are unstyled.
There's probably a more elegant solution - but on the off chance anyone else is dealing with this
here's what's working for me.
https://foundation.zurb.com/sites/docs/xy-grid.html#xy-grid-layout

.gallery {
   @include xy-grid;
   @include xy-grid-layout(4, '.gallery-item', true);
}

.gallery-icon {
    @include thumbnail;
}

Might be a good thing to add to FP by default. Could you please take some before/after screenshots? thanks

[AmyGail]

Sure. Still looks a bit rough, but here you go.
I've added breakpoints
.gallery {
@include xy-grid;
@include flex-align(justify);
@include xy-grid-layout(3, '.gallery-item', true);

@include breakpoint(medium){
@include xy-grid-layout(4, '.gallery-item', true);
}

}

.gallery-icon {
@include thumbnail;
}

The next challenge is to figure out how to add modals. Not sure if it's worth the trouble though.

[colin-marshall]

Thanks @AmyGail. You can make modals with the Reveal plugin for Foundation.

[AmyGail]

You bet.
Yes, I just have to figure out how to make Reveal work with WP.
I've figured it out in the past, but naturally, can't recall how I pulled it off.
I'm a hack. ;)

@AmyGail I'll add the help wanted tag and maybe somebody will help add this feature to FP.

Hi @AmyGail @colin-marshall

In my opinion the Reveal plugin isn't a good option for image modals. With other plugins we can get best results and features like responsive size, next/prev and others things. I think the best is implement a basic solution to fix CSS and flexibilize the use of the other modal like the Venobox (http://veno.es/venobox/).

I can add a PHP function to change default Wordpress gallery markup with Foundation classes and html atributes for flexibilize usage of other plugins. What you think?

[tiborp]

I agree that Reveal is not the way to go for this goal, but in general I think we should leave image/gallery-modals to third party plugins (for example: https://wordpress.org/plugins/w3dev-fancybox/).

Imho this kind of functionality should not depend on theme functionality anyway.

[colin-marshall]

I was just thinking of having Reveal pop-up the full size image and have no other functionality. I like @emaia's idea to make the markup Foundation compatible so it can be used in 3rd party plugins.

Yes; that's certainly better then the standard image-link (like WP does it).

Still Venobox looks insteresting too :-)

Emaia & Colin-Marshall’s ideas sound good to me as well.
If you all agree that a plug-in is best practice, then I’m all for it. It’s where i’ve been headed, but I thought I was being lazy.
Thanks everyone, for your input and hard work.
