jQuery.popeye 2.0 released

Posted on by

I have just released a new major version of my popular image gallery script jQuery.popeye. It features more customization options, better cross browser and mobile support and tons of bugfixes.

I have set up a jQuery.popeye site where you can find documentation and demos.

You will also find links to a new feature request forum and bug tracker there. Hope you like the new stuff!

  4. Good job with the plugin.
    I wanted to know if this could be used as a slideshow instead of a modal?
    meaning that the image would be clickable and send to another page.

    I know this defeats the base concept of your plugin but I like the way you integrated things.

    thx

  12. Sehr schick, leider zickt die Demoseite wenn man den Google Analytics Kram tollschockt – ähm blockt.

  14. great plug-in!
    Is there a chance to change to the direction to “top-left” or “top-right”?
    I need this because my images are placed at the bottom of a page.

  15. a little problem and a work-around (bug fix?):
    I have some popeye divs placed in an accordion. Therefore, the height and width property of cssStage are 0 for the popeye divs that are initally hidden.

    The following work-around fixed this for me:
    changed lines 107 to 110 of jquery.popeye-2.0.js to
    cssStage = {
    height: ppyStage.css(“height”),
    width: ppyStage.css(“width”)
    },

    What do you think?

  16. Hi I’m trying to use the first example style multiple times on one page but not sure how to go about it. I think Its because it uses an ID tag…can anyone help. it’s like a page with 5 stories and i need one gallery per story, using the style from the first example.

  17. @hyper-sonic: this feature has been requested and is planned. I will also look into your proposed fix for the accordion integration, thanks you very much!

    @kyro: no problem, just remove the #IDs from the stylesheet and use only .CLASSes

  18. excellent it works…had to change the # to . in the .js at the bottom too. :)

  19. Hello,

    very nice plugin but it is not working with IE7. Do you have any quick fix?

    Thanks,

  21. Thanks for the reply Christoph, I looked also at your demo and is not working, it just opens once and when you resize back the script stops working. It gives and error.

    Maybe it’s just my IE7, fantastic script though, thanks for sharing. I will look at it again carefully and will submit a detailed bug.

  22. @Edy: Thanks for checking again. I still can’t recreate the error, everything works fine for me in IE7 (actually IE8 with IE7 compatibility view turned on). If you find out more, please let me know.

  25. this is a ridiculously beautiful plugin. love the new 2.0 incarnation :)

  26. @Edy & Arturo: I have found and fixed the IE7 bug. You can either download version 2.0.1 version 2.0.2 from the plugin database or change line 187 to

    $self.css(‘z-index’,null);

    $self.css(‘z-index’,opts.zindex);

  28. What an extremely elegant styling of Popeye. Ever since html5 and css3 was publicly a bit more well-known, there have been a ton of nice new designs and options/plugins released. Amazing work, and I can’t wait to see where this leads everyone :)

  31. Neat plugin, I was looking for something like this.

    However, i would like to have a thumbnail in the small view, and the play an embeded video when it opens. Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated!

  32. Hi Christoph, first of all you’ve done a very nice gallery plugin. I’ve wanted to

    ask you the same question of Jonathan… whether it can embed flv videos like

    youtube video links?

    Again neat plugin man!!! you the man!!!

  33. This does not work in Chrome 4.
    I even signed up for 16 bugs to report this as a bug but I am not allowed (by you?) to do so.

  34. @Tim: Sorry, there seems to be a problem with 16bugs, I will look into that.

    The plugins works perfectly for me in Chrome 4.1. Could you tell me where exactly you have problems with it?

  36. @Tim: Are you using any Adblocking Software or other browser plugins that could cause this problem? Do you get JavaScript errors? I cannot recreate the error here in Chrome…

  39. Can’t access bug tracker, so I’ll post here another IE7 problem I had.

    To reference large images, I entered values like this: /folder/folder/file.jpg and not like this http://www.domain.com/folder/folder/file.jpg (like it is in every example on Popeye demo page) and it worked ok in every other browser except IE7 (didn’t test other IEs though). What I found out was that in function $.fn.popeye.showImage preloader.src got value like about:/folder/folder/file.jpg. When I changed a[i].href to $(a[i]).attr(“href”) in lines 300 and 341, IE7 got full URL and started to work again. The problem is that then it doesn’t work in other browsers… it opens the small picture instead. I added browser check there, but I feel that there should be a better way to do it.

  40. The PopEye is great for image layout on a page.

    I need to change the default size to fit in a page. I can change the width of the index image. How to change the height of the index image? It seems to be in #ppy1 .ppy-imglist li. I, however, can’t see a result after my modification.

  41. The image display jQuery plug-ing is great. It parks image on a corner of its index image. It is much better than lightbox in my opinion.

    I try to customize it so that the size will fit into a page I design. I achieve the larger width. But for some reason, I can’t see the height changed I made. Can someone point me a direction of this modification?

    Thanks.

  43. I’m trying to dynamically remove one of the photos on the gallery by pressing a button, so I give an ID to every list item and do $(“#” + ID).remove() when the button is clicked but it doesn’t seem to be working, does anyone know a way to accomplish this?

    Thank you and awesome plugin!

  45. IE 7 issue when using local vs absolute links to large images. In IE 7 ( IE 8 in compatablity mode) clicking to enlarge the thumbnail will stay at the loading icon, never opening the enlarged image, if the large image link is a local one but works fine if the link is http://yoursite.com/image.jpg. Using you online demo page ( the insect series), I set up two demos, one with local images and one using your absolute image links. You can see the problem in IE 7.

    Demo1

    Demo2

  46. Hi, awesome job!!!…. well right now i’m trying to find out how to set up 2 of this slides on one page, using the same to be more specific the example 2, and for some reason i’m not able to see both, it just appear one of them, theres any solution to this problem?

    i appreciated, thank you and congrats!!!!

  47. I am having the same issue in IE7 — the large image never loads. Is there a workaround that you know of? This is a terrific plugin but I need it to work in IE7. Thanks!

  49. Another IE 7 bug. ( I’m a Mac person, but keep finding these debugging a page).
    On your Demo page, using the insect gallery, the caption does not expand to full width when enlarged and is smaller than the “stage” on hover as well in IE 7 (compatibility mode) but fine in IE 8. I’m not sure if this is a CSS issue with ppy-caption or ppy-captionwrap or a JS issue.

    Mike

  50. Hi Mike, thanks for pointing that out. I wouldn’t really call that a bug. It’s rather a CSS issue, and doesn’t impact on the functionality since the whole Caption is visible. IE7 just crops the Caption area to the content’s width. Anyway, I’ll fix it ;-)
