PrettyPhoto Extension For BlogEngine.Net

Filed under: Asp.Net, BlogEngineNet — Tags: , , , — Mehmet Efe Ozer @ 11:18 pm

 

I was using Lightbox2 for displaying pictures of posts in a BlogengineNet based website InAEA , but with jquery implementation plans, i decided to use jquery all over the website and found similar Lightbox2 script : PrettyPhoto .

I made little changes on Lightbox2 extension and done. My client websites low traffic and it works well for now. But some code parts can better, for example “Item_Serving” function. I don’t know could cause performance problem or not.

Some Notes:

  • This extension works with PrettyPhoto Version 2.2.7
  • JQuery required. “jquery-1.3.2.min.js” which i used jquery script, (but i didnt add with this extension, you can find an another extension about add jquery to blogengine, don’t want to my own extension before try with another jquery applications.)
  • Placed prettyphoto.cs to “app_code/extensions” and “prettyphoto” folder to root. ( wrote in readme.txt )
  • I just hardcode default path for folder as;

private const string defaultPath = "prettyPhoto";

  • prettyPhoto.css is not gzipped.
  • Please look PrettyPhoto website to how to use,

actually easy that you need to add rel tag to images like

for single photos => rel=”prettyphoto”

for photos as gallery  => rel=”prettyphoto[ galleryname ]” (without spaces)

  1. Nice work, you should submit it to BlogEngineTheme.com to help promote it. I’ll include a link back to this post as well. Just fill out the form completely so I don’t have to think. lol

  3. This is awesome. Looks great for movies and flash, will have to try it out.

    On a side note, its interesting that you develop for BlogEngine, but you use wordpress.

  4. Thanks James,
    prettyPhoto is a nice plug in, but i need to remembered you, for movies and flash you need to use “their” last version, what i put here for download is only work with images. I guess my code doesn’t need to change.
    Yes i started with wordpress :) , but develop existing website ( http://www.inaea.org ) and building my own blogengine website with some major changes.
