Titles and descriptions in nanogallery2

There is an easy way to add titles and descriptions to photos in nanogallery2.

You have to create a text-file for each photo which should have a title and / or a description. The name of the text-file is the same as the photo. For example, if your photo's name is 01.jpg than you have to create a text-file: 01.txt

title=  Kanaan N/a`an ku sê Desert Retreat
description= Perfect campsite in the desert
tags=Campsite Desert Namibia

The tags are optional, maybe we will use them in future. If you created the text-files for your images upload them in the same folder as the pictures on your server.

How to .... Gallery in Bludit

How to integrate a fancy gallery in Bludit CMS. It is quit easy to do, by using nanogallery2.

First of all, you download nanogallery2 and also nanoPhotosProvider2. It might be also useful to get the Bludit Plugin "Media" for an easy upload of photos in folders later.

Copy nanogallery2 to your web server

Unzip the downloaded files. Now we need to move this files to our web server.

I created a new folder "nano_photos" in the Bludit plugin folder bl-plugins/nano_photos. Inside this folder we need two more folders called css and js.

Copy from nanogallery2-xxx/dist/ all javascript files (*.js) to the bl-plugins/nano_photos/js folder and all files from css including the font folder to the bl-plugins/nano_photos/css folder on your webserver.

Now we go on with the nanoPhotosProvider2 files. (BTW: This tool will generate thumbnails and images for you). Open the file nano_photos_provider2.cfg in an editor and edit the line contentFolder ="...

contentFolder = "../../bl-content/uploads/media"

Copy all php files and the cfg file from nano_photos_provider2-xxx to bl-plugins/nano_photos/.
