WordPress Photo Gallery Theme, Modularity & Modslider Theme Updates

Thad Allender

·

Next up: A minimalist photo gallery theme. This theme will cater specifically to photographers, illustrators and artists and will include two built-in lightboxes to pick from, HD video player, content slider, slideshow, minimalist navigation built atop the Modularity theme framework. Users will have the same variable homepage options as our current child themes for Modularity, plus the ability to over-ride the auto-generated thumbnails produced by WordPress. As always, you can also over-ride the default theme styling from the theme options page. Sounds good, eh?

This theme is going to rock the iPhone, too. It’s gonna be mobile-friendly so you can pitch editors, entice clients and promote your work while on the go.

Now we turn to you, the faithful WordPresser. What would you like to see in a photo gallery theme? Post your suggestions in the comments below.

For those interested, you can grab the latest Modularity theme framework and Modslider releases from the members-only area. These two updates squashed a couple IE bugs.

    An easy way to insert a logo into the header please. Other themes make it easy but I struggled a bit with the code for modularity. Thanks

      Good suggestion. We are adding this to core Modularity.

        Anyone figure this out? I can’t figure out how to put a logo in the Modularity header in place of the text. I’ve been able to do it with F8 etc and many other custom blogs…

    I would like it to be easy to adjust the max image size (auto resize preferred), and it has to be able to make several categories/selections of photo’s. For example: one for people, one for landscapes etc. Maybe even with customizable headers for each group of photo’s 🙂

    Cheers!

      Interesting suggestions. The max-width approach is already part of Modularity. Categorized photos and photo galleries is also part of Modularity. See this:

      http://nickkrug.com/

      and this:

      http://nickkrug.com/category/photos/

      Customizable headers is probably best left out of core theme files. That said, you can easily make your own custom category headers by using a simple if else conditional argument on archive.php:

      <code>__abENT__lt;code__abENT__gt;__abENT__#95;__abENT__#95;abENT__abENT__#95;__abENT__#95;lt;?php if ( is_category(1) ) { ;?__abENT__#95;__abENT__#95;abENT__abENT__#95;__abENT__#95;gt;__abENT__lt;br  __abENT__#8260;__abENT__gt;

    Hi!
    The main need for a Photo Blog, is the easy setting up of Archive and category Thumbnail Galleries.

    Options for these need to be

    • the formatting of thumbnails: size (square or original proportions)

    It would indeed be great for easy customization of Category Page headers, or actually the option for specific Pages (not posts).

    What is your time-frame for releasing a Photo Gallery theme?

    Thanks

    I would like to see a soft cross fade between slideshow images, as well as the Ken Burns effect (www.monoslideshow.com), if the slides can be synced to music too, it would be great.

    Cleaner code & documentation, so that you can spend more time developing killer theme & less time replying (sometimes not) forum posts & us focusing more on making our site work, not struggling to make it work.

    Options to define image size, incl. main slideshow area, single post, thumbnail size, etc.

    EXIF data support, options to choose post type & gallery mode.

    Options to hide/show specific categories.

    Fast loading, XHTML standard codebase.

      1. We are likely going to move all template files (now located in modularity/library/apps/ into the root of modularity to make it easier for new users to understand our framework/code/template files. That said, the template library is already highly organized as is the css, so much so, that is at times confuses new users.

      2. We are switching to the TimThumb approach for thumbnail generation.

      3. This is best left to this plugin: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/nextgen-gallery/

      4. Use this approach: http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_categories#Include_or_Exclude_Categories

      5. Done.

    Hi…I just downloaded Modularity Lite, the free theme, and I think this will work for me…

    One thing I’d like is a page like a mosaic…maybe something where I can show a months worth of thumbnails and you click on one and there’s a space to see it bigger, or perhaps even better the Lightbox technique…

    Wonder if there’s a way for me to add a page like that now…maybe hook it up to my flickr account?…

    Anyway, I’m really enjoying your work so far. Adjusting color backgrounds, text, etc. is easy as pie. I do have a bit of work gettin’ the ‘sidebar off’ to stick sometimes…will put itself on all by itself…

    I’m still working with it, setting it up, learning how it works,…I’ll post a link when I’m done…right now I’m using it as a one image a day, full width, with all the widgets on bottom…hmmm, I wonder, maybe I’ll try for the smaller images and posts in a line across, what, three or four posts, with smaller images?…

    ok, whatever, thanks again…

    I don’t understand the developing of the release (Modularity). The last Modularity is 1.4.3? It’s important to have a document with the release notes of changing for a friendly update. An history of changing with date. What do you think?

    Thad, the slider (Modularity) works only with a post and cat? Not with a single page? This option is very important for me.

    Here?

    have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();
    $do_not_duplicate = $post->ID; ?>

    <li class=”post- slider-item”><a href=”” rel=”bookmark” title=”Permanent Link to “>

    have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();
    $do_not_duplicate = $post->ID; ?>

    Please make a theme that makes vertical images look nice. Your themes look nice but they rely too heavily on horizontal images. We are not all landscape photographers. Also, make it so that thumbnails on the main page can open in a lightbox instead of redirecting to a post. I want a gallery not a blog. Thanks

    Please make sure to keep navigation obvious (option for top left or right nav maybe?) Although this will be a theme for showcasing images/video etc., I think it’s important to make sure the visitor can navigate the site with ease.

    Hi Thad,

    I tried to login to the web site but it says my username and password are no longer in the database. I had a general question about how many personal web sites we can use the templates on if we bought the membership package.

    How about the possibility of easily incorporating a 3rd party gallery system like SlideShowPro, Simple Viewer, etc. This can of course be done using the Kimli Flash Embed (sp?) plugin, but depending on the gallery size it can throw the theme out of whack. I personally prefer a Flash gallery to the lightbox-style gallery.

    I also had to hack up the theme a bit to display particular photo categories (people, landscape, etc). It would be nice to be able to do this through the dashboard/control panel. This way changes would ‘stick’ after updating the theme.

    Looking forward to seeing it!

    My photographer client was really big on his thumbnails being of the same ratio, so a 950×425 image he ideally wants the thumb to be a proportionate 190×98.

    Photographers love ease of use and simple layouts in my experience. Let the photos do the talking, so GPP really hits that chord with your layouts.

    Hi,
    I just stumbled upon you and have some questions.

    1. How much can your themes be modified and are there any restrictions say for credits, etc.?

    2. Would I be able to use a different jquery lightbox (need lots of caption space)? And, adjust the size of thumbnails?

    3. And, places where “posts” are defined in the a given theme… would I be able to change those sections into links to other galleries?

    4. What about multiple domains? Say, two photographers on a shared domain for the home page; then one each on a subdomain?

    Thank you!

    the way the demo displays the photo, like in the 6th Post, is that the default way it shows the photos, because mine just sit there, static – when you click on the thumbnail is does not open up into the large flash like viewer…

    is this a special plug-in — if so which one!!??

    Smaller Sidebar / Larger Post Area

    For a photographer it’s all about the images. And more and more photo blogs are going big. I recently became a member and purchased Modularity. As I build my new blog and become more familiar with Modularity, there is one feature I wish I could just adjust easily without screwing up the rest of the design. I would like to be able to adjust the width of the sidebar from the admin panel in order to make a larger post area. (please forgive for my ignorance if this is already possible or if there is a post telling me how to do this manually) I understand that I can turn it off for a full 950px post area, but I would like to keep the sidebar in my post area for navigation and link purposes.

    A good example of the what I am looking for is here – http://www.burnmagazine.org/

    Trying to reposition the Post Slider.

    It sits perfectly on Chrome & Firefox but not on IE ( Sits too far up). So need to add code to the IE & IE7 css files that will place a top margin for the Post Slider for these browsers but not affect chrome & firefox. Just need to know where the code is, I am confident in its application.
