1 = the top level only (or the given folder). The depth of album folder levels to gather images from. The color of the image caption: white|light|transparent|dark|black The horizontal / vertical placement of the image caption, e.g. The template for the image caption in HTML format. The projector width: center|wide|full, where "center" has the same width as the text content.Īspect ratio – width / height – as percentage, e.g. The absolute or site-root relative path to the album (mandatory). If you still want to keep with the short-code version here’s a small cheat sheet for the parameters: Attribute If it’s only the jalbum bridge held you back from the new Block Editor, now it’s time to move on and enable the new interface – you won’t regret. This way your old projectors will continue to work, but it probably worth adding them again as blocks. They will still appear as short codes – but no settings window is available like before. Once ready press Preview to check out the final look! Note to existing usersĪs WordPress’ new Block Editor has a fundamentally different way of storing the projector settings, the projectors created with earlier versions are not automatically converted to blocks. I just wanted to avoid driving users crazy who just want to select a block and they end up in the album instead, effectively leaving the editor.īy default the projector will use the Slideshow / Slide transition, but I encourage you to experiment with different transitions. One setting though is not applied in the editor: no links to the real album is generated. Most settings are self-explanatory – I hope – and the behavior is immediately reflected in the editor, which makes it so much easier to get the desired look than before. If you want to show only a specific folder, enter the relative path to the folder in the Settings / Initial Folder box below (e.g. In the Inspector Panel enter the URL of the album’s top level page and the projector will immediately appear. Use the alignment button above the block! (Works only in themes that support it.) Usage The new WordPress also allows the blocks to be wider than texts, which looks great with galleries – so jAlbum bridge 2+ allows this option too. Editing the raw HTML title and image caption templates got removed - which was a bit techy anyway -, so you can only choose from the predefined designs now. For instance there’s a new transition – zoom – and a few new sort options too. In the new plugin it’s not only the user interface changed but under the hood all the transitions were rewritten too to make them smoother, and some new features were added as well. Finally Anders gave me hand by kickstarting the development, which was a big help. The plugin has received negative reviews for being “abandoned” deservedly, and even WordPress warned us they will close the plugin if we fail to update it. It was really frustrating I’ve spent so much time on developing a deprecated piece of software. Nevertheless I finally failed turning the plugin Gutenberg-compatible. I must admit the new editor is lightyears better in terms of user-friendliness and its WYSIWYG (“what you see is what you get”) nature. Unfortunately, the new editor was not backwards compatible, and even more unfortunately they failed to provide comprehensive documentation at that time. In October 2018, when I released jAlbum Bridge I had no idea WordPress will replace its post editor (TinyMCE) with a completely new one (Gutenberg, later Block Editor) in two months.
