BNE Gallery Extended

Description

The default WordPress shortcode only displays your images in a traditional column grid. BNE Gallery Extended adds a new option called “display” allowing you to also show the images as a 3D carousel or masonry grid.

When adding a new image gallery or editing an existing gallery in your page, a new option will show on the gallery settings to either set the display to 3D Carousel, Masonry, or Default Grid. The default grid is what you have been used to and is the default behavior of WordPress. 3D Carousel adds a jquery rotation to your images and Masonry is similar to the default grid but allows different sizes and stacks them. The Masonry grid will also automatically reduce the number of columns for tablet and mobile screens.

To use with the block editor, use a classic editor block, then use the media button on that block’s toolbar to add your legacy media gallery.

Installation

Upload “bne-gallery-extended” folder to the “wp-content/plugins/” directory
Activate the plugin through the “Plugins” menu in WordPress
A new option will be added to the WP gallery modal window to select the display type. Otherwise add display=”carousel” or display=”masonry” to the shortcode.

Display as a 3D carousel

Add display=”carousel” or display=”carrousel” to the shortcode. Example:

Display as Masonry Grid

Add display=”masonry” to the shortcode. Use “columns” to set the number of columns within the grid and “gutter” to set the distance between each image. The number of columns will reduce based on screen size. Example:

New Shortcode attributes added to

display

Options: carousel or masonry
Description: Sets the display type for the WordPress shortcode.
Example: or

caption

Options: true or false (default: false)
Description: shows the image caption below the centered image.
Example:

gutter

Options: Any numerical value, ex: 5 or 3. (default: 5)
Description: Masonry only – sets the distance surrounding each image in the grid layout. If you use a high number, this may negatively impact the column sizes on mobile. Stay between 5 and 15 for best results.
Example:

responsive

Options: true or false. (default: true)
Description: Masonry only – When used, the number of columns will reduce based on the window width or viewport. For example, 6+ columns will go down to 5 columns at < 1200 viewport, 5+ columns down to 4 columns at < 980 viewport, 4+ columns down to 3 at < 768 viewport, and finally 3+ columns down to 2 at < 480 viewport and smaller.
Example:

autoplay

Options: Any numerical value, ex: 4000 or 2000. (default: none)
Description: Carousel only – Sets the carousel to play automatically. The number represents the time each image is focused on in milliseconds (4000 is equal to 4 seconds).

great tool which fits into natural way of implementing wordpress gallery

Very Impressed

By linux garage on October 3, 2016

Best masonry photo gallery I've found (after testing many in the WP repository). Love integration with WP gallery [short code]. ---- Integration with Isotope filtering would take it to a new level. --- So far no bugs. Very impressed.
