Photoset Grid

A simple jQuery plugin to arrange images into a flexible grid, based on Tumblr's photoset feature. Originally the plugin was created for our Style Hatch Tumblr themes as a way to use the photoset grid in responsive layouts, but we have since expanded it for use outside of the themes.

Demo

• Custom options
• Adding a lightbox viewer
• Using photoset grid in a Tumblr theme

Usage

Apply the photo set grid layout to a selected div containing images for the grid.

The only markup requirement is a data-layout attribute on the selected div. data-layout should contain a string of numbers representing the number of columns for each row.

If all of the images in a photoset set both a height and a width, the layout of the grid is triggered immediately before all of the images load. Otherwise imagesLoaded is used to wait for all of the images to load in.

Understanding data-layout:

• data-layout="2331" 1st row has 2 images, 2nd row has 3 images, 3rd row has 3 images, and 4th row has 1 image. Total of 9 images.
• data-layout="13" 1st row has 1 image and 2nd row has 3 images.

Basic Usage

Simply call photosetGrid(); on a div with the data-layout specified and a number of images inside.

HTML:

<div class="photoset-grid" data-layout="13">
	<img src="image1.jpg">
	<img src="image2.jpg">
	<img src="image3.jpg">
	<img src="image4.jpg">
</div>

Javascript:

$('.photoset-grid').photosetGrid();

Custom Options

Beyond the basic usage, you can set a number of optional arguments including callback functions that are useful for adding a lightbox for high resolution images.

arguments

• width - string Change the width that the photo set grid will be rendered at. Default: 100% automatically fits its container for responsive layouts
• layout - string Manually set a string of numbers to specify the number of images each row contains. Default: null generates a stacked layout of one image per row
• gutter - string Set the pixel width between the columns and rows. Default: 0px
• highresLinks - boolean Set to true to automatically swap out the default image src with the data-highres attribute once the image is wider than lowresWidth. This will also wrap each image with an a vs. div element. Default: false
• lowresWidth - number Sets the width where the default image is swapped out for the high resolution image. Default: 500
• rel - string This optional setting useful for lightbox viewers applies a common rel attribute to the anchor tags wrapping the images.
• onInit - function Define a function to be called when the plugin is initialized.
• onComplete - function Define a function to be called when the plugin has completed the grid layout.

HTML:

<div class="photoset-grid" style="visibility: hidden;">
	<img src="image1.jpg" data-highres="highres-image1.jpg">
	<img src="image2.jpg" data-highres="highres-image2.jpg">
	<img src="image3.jpg" data-highres="highres-image3.jpg">
	<img src="image4.jpg" data-highres="highres-image4.jpg">
	<img src="image5.jpg" data-highres="highres-image5.jpg">
	<img src="image6.jpg" data-highres="highres-image6.jpg">
	<img src="image7.jpg" data-highres="highres-image7.jpg">
</div>

Javascript:

$('.photoset-grid').photosetGrid({
	layout: '232',
	width: '100%',
	gutter: '5px',
	highresLinks: true,
	lowresWidth: 300,
	rel: 'gallery-01',
	
	onInit: function(){},
	onComplete: function(){
	
		$('.photoset-grid').css({
			'visiblity': 'visible'
		});
		
	}
});
