Romain has just released an updated version of the Gallery Module (v0.2.1; 400kb download). Its looking fantastic, and is full of features. Like our new blog module with drag-n-drop widgets, it requires SilverStripe 2.1.0rc2 or later.

The update offers a huge amount of extra configuration within the CMS, and as always, you can use the SilverStripe developer framework to easily customise and configure it much further. The installation instructions are very simple, and you can quickly begin configuring your gallery:

The above settings allow you to choose the size and number of images, which by default look like:

 

Romain has made use of the Lightwindow 2.0 pop up library to provide a very professional, intuitive and usable browsing process… I especially appreciate having previous and next links while in pop-up mode…

 

More than just a photo gallery, you can specify the file types to list. Now you can create professional lists of videos and office documents…

 

In fact, you can configure your own file types, such as adding support for showing Excel Files…

This results in a “gallery” of office documents. You can upload and specify your own icons for the file types, too.

 

So, demo or download out the gallery module, and let us of know of suggestions and any issues for Romain to work on!
