Alternative gallery viewer

[jerivas]

Hey Stephen, now that I'm working in the migration to Bootstrap 3 I came across the gallery again and I wanted to see if you had changed your mind on this issue. The solution I would like to propose this time is Magnific Popup. You can see it in action in a Mezzanine project in this theme over at MEZZaTHEME.

From the site: "Magnific Popup is a responsive jQuery lightbox plugin that is focused on performance and providing best experience for user with any device". I found the minimal approach very compatible with Mezzanine, and with the build tool we could create a bare-bones version tailored exclusively for serving images in the gallery. Alternatively we could use the inline and ajax capabilities to serve the forms for inline edition too.

Some of the advantages over the current implementation are responsiveness, capabilities to serve not only images (optional) and that it requires less markup, making the gallery template more semantic.

Hey Ed, it sounds like a good idea.

Would you like to make it happen?

Thanks a lot for your help.

Sure thing, Steve! Should I convert only the gallery viewer or dive into inline edition too?

[stephenmcd]

Maybe just start with the gallery to make things easy.

Ok then, I'll bundle it in the other issue.

This feature is now part of the bootstrap3 branch. Yay!

[stephenmcd]

Ok to close this issue then?

Yep. If any bugs appear let's track them over #777
