Introduction

collective.plonetruegallery is a Plone add-on that implements a very customizable and sophisticated gallery.

Plone Version Compatibility

Works with Plone 5.0 and earlier.

How It Works

collective.plonetruegallery adds a Gallery View to Folders and Collections.

For any Folder or Collection containing or showing images, use the Display toolbar menu and select Gallery View.

Once that is done, a Gallery Settings toolbar menu is enabled for the type. With this, you can customize the various settings for the Gallery.

To install any of the various extra display types, you need to install the dependent package in buildout

  • galleria (included in default installation of collective.plonetruegallery)

  • contact sheet (collective.ptg.contactsheet)

  • thumbnail zoom gallery (collective.ptg.thumbnailzoom)

  • presentation (collective.ptg.presentation)

Buildout configuration

eggs =
  ...
  collective.plonetruegallery
  collective.ptg.highslide
  collective.ptg.fancybox
  collective.ptg.galleriffic
  collective.ptg.s3slider
  collective.ptg.pikachoose
  collective.ptg.nivoslider
  collective.ptg.nivogallery
  collective.ptg.contentflow
  collective.ptg.supersized
  collective.ptg.thumbnailzoom
  collective.ptg.contactsheet
  ...

Installing all galleries

If you want to install all available galleries, you could add

eggs =
  ...
  collective.plonetruegallery
  collective.ptg.allnewest
  ...

to buildout’s egg section.

This will also install some galleries that are “under development”.

Features

  • Flickr and Picasa Support!

  • Dexterity “Lead Image behaviour” support

  • Works with ‘Image’, ‘News Item’ and other content types that has a Image Field (provides IImageContent).

  • Also works with redturtle.smartlink and collective.contentleadimage (install http://pypi.python.org/pypi/collective.ptg.contentleadimage )

  • Customize gallery size, transition(limited transitions right now), timed and other settings

  • Can use nested galleries

  • searching and category selection for nested galleries

  • Galleria, Galleriffic, Highslide JS, s3slider, Pikachoose and Fancybox display types

  • display gallery inline

  • Products.Collage integration

  • Compatible with new-style Plone collections

  • Provides base settings configlet

Flickr and Picasa Web Album Support

  • to add support for these type of galleries you must install additional packages

  • install collective.ptg.flickr for Flickr support

  • install collective.ptg.picasa for Picasa Web Album Support(tested with 1.3.3 and 2.0.12)

  • on Plone 3.x you must also manually install hashlib for picasa support

  • these can just be added to your buildout or installed with easy_install or you can add the package to your egg section like

Pop-up effect

you could do this:

1) Install http://plone.org/products/collective.prettyphoto
2) Mark the link to the gallery with "prettyPhoto" style (which
   has now been added) from Kupu or TinyMCE

Troubleshooting safe-html

If you have trouble, do this: Go to safe_html in portal_transforms tool Make sure param and object are valid tags (not nasty tag).

After that, you should flush the cache of ZODB by going to 1. Zope root app ZMI 2. Control Panel 3. Database 4. main (or whatever zodb you have) 5. Flush Cache tab 6. Press “Minimize” button

This will remove from ZODB cache all cooked texts. This procedure is mentioned at the top of safe_html in portal_transforms.

Upgrading

From 0.8*

The upgrade to version 0.8* is an important and large update. Basically, it gets rid of the Gallery type, replaces it with the regular Folder type along with a new view applied to the folder, namely the “Gallery View.”

You can only successfully upgrade from the 0.8* series by first upgrading to a 1.x series release and then upgrading to the 2.x series.

From 1.x to 2.x

No longer support Slideshow 2 gallery which has been replaced with galleria.

From * to 3.x

You’ll be required to change your respective collective.js dependencies to collective.ptg dependencies in buildout, re-run buildout.

Installation

Since this product depends on plone.app.z3cform, you’ll need to add a few overrides for products versions in your buildout if you aren’t using recent versions of Plone. Good news is that is you’re using any other product that uses plone.app.z3cform, you’ll already be good to go.

Basically, you’ll need to add these to your buildout versions section ONLY IF you’re running a plone < 4.1.

For Plone 4.0:

[versions]
z3c.form = 2.3.2
plone.app.z3cform = 0.5.0
plone.z3cform = 0.6.0
zope.schema = 3.6.0

and Plone 3.x:

[versions]
z3c.form = 1.9.0
plone.app.z3cform = 0.4.8
plone.z3cform = 0.5.10
zope.i18n = 3.4.0
zope.testing = 3.4.0
zope.component = 3.4.0
zope.securitypolicy = 3.4.0
zope.app.zcmlfiles = 3.4.3

These versions are not the exact versions plonetruegallery requires, it’s just a known working set. If you already have plone.app.z3cform installed under different versions or wish to upgrade versions, you’re fine doing so.

Then once you run buildout with this configuration, install collective.plonetruegallery via the the add-on product configuration. Also, make sure Plone z3cform support is installed too. If you experience issues where no settings appear in the Gallery Settings tab, reinstall Plone z3cform support.

Uninstall

First uninstall the collective.plonetruegallery product just like you would any other product. Then, go to portal_setup in the zmi and click on the Import tab. Once there, select the collective.plonetruegallery Uninstall Profile profile and run all the steps. Once that is done, you can remove the egg from your buildout.

Fetching of Images Explained

  • When rendering a picasa or flickr gallery, it checks if the images have been fetched within a day. If they have not, then it re-fetches the images for the gallery.

  • You can also force a specific gallery to be re-fetched by appending @@refresh to the gallery url

  • You can manually refresh all galleries on the site by typing in a url like mysite.com/@@refresh_all_galleries This means you can also setup a cron-like job to refresh all the galleries whenever you want to, just so it isn’t done while a user is trying to render a page.

1.1.0 ~ (2011-06-22)

  • fixes for Slideshow 2 in IE9 If you’re using custom styles for the Slideshow 2 gallery, please test this upgrade as some styling changes have been made. [vangheem]

1.0.5 ~ (2011-04-17)

1.0.4 ~ (2011-03-14)

1.0.3 ~ (2011-02-20)

1.0.2 ~ (2011-01-12)

  • Enable re-use of view template macro. collective.collage.plonetruegallery uses this. [khink]

1.0.1 ~ 2010-12-31

  • added spanish translation [Enrique Perez Arnaud]

  • use ViewPageTemplateFile since you can get UnicodeDecodeError with non-ascii characters in the title and description. [Enrique Perez Arnaud]

1.0

  • fix picasa support on Plone 4

1.0rc2

1.0rc1

0.9.1rc5

  • use plone.app.contentmenu.interfaces.IDisplayViewsMenu instead of plone_displayviews for menu declaration since it doesn’t work with plone.app.contentmenu > 2.0b3 and zope.browsermenu installed. [vangheem]

0.9.1rc4

  • import Batch directly from PloneBatch since with Zope 2.13 Batch is not available at the package level when plonetruegallery is loaded. [vangheem]

0.9.1rc3

  • made the basic gallery not store it’s cached images since it would never be able to really cache them anyways. This fixes the zodb potentially growing forever on sites that use the gallery portlet since it needed to calculate the gallery on every new image request, which would cause a new write to the database. FYI, packing the database brings it back down to it’s normal size. [vangheem]

0.9.1rc2

0.9.1rc1

0.9.0b1

  • use getAllowedSizes from plone.app.imaging.utils instead [vangheem]

  • fixed plone.app.imaging incompatibility with patches it uses–fixes http://plone.org/products/plone-true-gallery/issues/23 [vangheem]

  • fixed fancy box not showing correctly occasionally [vangheem]

  • restructured display type code to be a little more compatible with templating. It was a little messy the way it was done before so it is now slightly less customizable for the sake of being more compatible and modular. If any gallery types were defined in the old fashion, they may no longer work without slight modification. That is what this is now tagged as a 0.9 release. [vangheem]

  • compatible with cmf.pt now–Chameleon. [vangheem]

  • gallery portlet now forces the height of the image so it doesn’t flicker if for some reason the image hasn’t finished loading yet. fixes http://plone.org/products/plone-true-gallery/issues/24 [vangheem]

  • added plone.app.z3cform as dependency profile fixes http://plone.org/products/plone-true-gallery/issues/25 [vangheem]

0.8.2b4 ~ March 16

0.8.2b3 ~ March 10

0.8.2b2 ~ February 10, 2010

0.8.2b1 ~ February 4, 2010

  • Make compatible with Plone 4–fixes page template rendering and css issues [vangheem]

0.8.1b2 ~ January 27, 2010

  • Adapting BasicImageInformationRetriever to IObjectManager does not work in Plone4 anymore. Use IBaseFolder instead which is also generic for ATFolder and ATBTreeFolder. [thet]

  • Added z3c.autoinclude support–no more zcml entry in buildout on newer versions of plone. [vangheem]

  • Override button apply method instead of __call__ method to set the status for user warning and to set setting changes. This fixes issue with newer version of plone.z3cform not showing updated status message. [vangheem]

  • Added hashlib to list of install requires for picasa since some versions of gdata fail without it. [vangheem]

0.8.1b1 ~ December 17, 2009

  • add german translation [jensens]
