We’ll Be Right Back After This Brief Development

Tagged as: ,,

Space for a Name is a at a place now where I feel comfortable taking a few days off to work on my other project, GalleryView.  GalleryView was my first foray into jQuery plugin development, but it’s become a bit stagnant since I started work on this website.  However, it’s been a few weeks now and I have a number of new features and bug fixes to implement (thanks for the emails!).  Some things I plan on knocking out:

  • More attractive filmstrip and panel navigation
  • Better handling of overflow in both panels and filmstrip frames
  • Pre-loading of panel and filmstrip images
  • Transferring CSS to external stylesheet for greater customization
  • Option to disable circular filmstrip navigation
  • Multiple galleries one one page
  • Allow for run-time addition/subtraction of panels via AJAX

If you’ve got an idea that I haven’t mentioned, feel free to leave a comment with your thoughts and I’ll see what I can do.

      Hi Jack I just wanted to drop you a quick compliment on your gallery plugin, it really is a sweet looking gallery, thanks for the time and effort you gave for this one and making it available to the community.

      Jack, stumbled across your site a couple of weeks ago when i discovered GalleryView.

      1) GalleryView is really well written, thanks
      2) AJAX would be top of my list then multiple panels.

      Since then i’ve been glued to your site following your evolution series and despite doing this stuff for years i was enlightened with your grids post.

      keep it up and thanks again

      Jack just wanted to say I really admire your hard work and courage in this area. Amateur designers like myself aspire to achieve the immense understanding that you have managed to acquire.
      Cheers!

      hi,
      i trying to get GalleryView working and without the right information it’s quite impossible.

      When will you make GalleryView 2.0 available again ? Maybe JQuery 1.3.2 compatible ?

      Regards
      G.

      Thanks for taking the time and effort to develop this gallery :)

      “Pre-loading of panel and filmstrip images”
      does that mean that the filmstrip and gallery will load before the list of the image
      that would be great, specially in case of big photo galleries :)

      keep up the great work and thanks again
