Title: Photoswipe for NextGEN Gallery Author: Guillermo Published: October 13, 2012 Last modified: January 29, 2013 --- Search plugins This plugin **hasn’t been tested with the latest 3 major releases of WordPress**. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress. ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/photoswipe-for-nextgen-gallery.svg) # Photoswipe for NextGEN Gallery By [Guillermo](https://profiles.wordpress.org/gsenas/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/photoswipe-for-nextgen-gallery.1.2.1.zip) * [Details](https://wordpress.org/plugins/photoswipe-for-nextgen-gallery/#description) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/plugins/photoswipe-for-nextgen-gallery/#reviews) * [Installation](https://wordpress.org/plugins/photoswipe-for-nextgen-gallery/#installation) * [Development](https://wordpress.org/plugins/photoswipe-for-nextgen-gallery/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/photoswipe-for-nextgen-gallery/) ## Description The default NextGEN gallery navigations (Shutter, Thickbox, etc…) fall short when using a mobile browser? Now you can use Photoswipe, the best mobile image browser, just installing this plugin. The default gallery effect and configuration is kept when accessing from a desktop browser. After activation you’ll find a new Photoswipe submenu in the NextGEN Gallery menu, allowing you to configure how the plugin works. Please note, I am not the developer, or related in any way with of the authors of [Photoswipe](http://www.photoswipe.com/) or [NextGEN Gallery](https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/nextgen-gallery/). This plugin is only intended to make Photoswipe integration with NextGEN Gallery dead simple. If you find this plugin helpful, consider [donating](https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_donations&business=8HNE3583KAVEQ&lc=US&item_name=Guillermo%20Senas&amount=0%2e10¤cy_code=EUR¤cy_code=EUR&bn=PP%2dDonationsBF%3abtn_donateCC_LG%2egif%3aNonHosted), at least ten cents. #### Options The plugin is ready to be used with zero configuration, but to make testing easier, there are 3 configuration options: * _Replace viewer with Photoswipe only on mobile browsers:_ This is the default behavior, and will replace the NextGEN Gallery Effect with Photoswipe only when a mobile browser is detected. * _Always replace viewer with Photoswipe:_ Useful for testing. * _Never replace the viewer:_ Disables the plugin. Much like deactivating the plugin. * _Disable additional viewers:_ In this section you can disable other supported image viewers, other than the NextGEN Gallery default ones. Currently only Fancybox. ## Screenshots [⌊Plugin options - Choose when Photoswipe should be applied.⌉⌊Plugin options - Choose when Photoswipe should be applied.⌉[ Plugin options – Choose when Photoswipe should be applied.

Download and install Photoswipe for NextGEN Gallery using the built in WordPress plugin installer. _Manual Installation_ 1. Download the zip file and unzip it. 2. Upload the ngg-photoswipe folder to your `/wp-content/plugins/` directory. Alternatively, use the WordPress plugin install in `Plugins >> Add New >> Upload` to upload and install the zip file. 3. Activate the plugin through the `Plugins` menu in WordPress. Done! Photoswipe will be used when accessing from a mobile browser. If you want to be sure, check your “Gallery” menu. A new Photoswipe section should be there. ## FAQ How is the standard effect (Shutter, Thickbox…) prevented when using Photoswipe? The javascript added when a mobile browser is detected does two things: * a) Fire the Photoswipe viewer when you click on a image * b) Remove the default additional HTML markup added in the “Link Code Line” of the Effects tab in NextGen Gallery Options That way, the standard defined effect won’t fire when Photoswipe is used. Please don’t change the markup, or two viewers may fire at the same time. If you absolutely need to change the “Link Code Line”, change the ngg-photoswipe. js to remove the specific markup you add. Can I use WPTouch with this plugin? No, sorry, this plugin DOES NOT WORK WITH WPTOUCH. Will the image descriptions show? Yes, the description will show behind the title, if the image has one. Is there any menu page to change the default Photoswipe options? No, sorry. But you can edit the ngg-photoswipe.js file to achieve what you want. When will be my favorite viewer also adapted to use Photoswipe when using a mobile browser? When it’s done. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b94f7ca4b99f5dc582de8e68260b016f73365a3ea408f7db9f273f52b74e29d5? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[If not using fancybox, this is the fix](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/if-not-using-fancybox-this-is-the-fix/)󠁿 [infotm](https://profiles.wordpress.org/infotm/) August 26, 2017 Like others, I would use photoswipe on my phone and see this at the top of my blog:\ wp-content\plugins\photoswipe-for-nextgen-gallery\ngg-photoswipe.php on line 41 To fix this, go to that file, edit it and change lines 41-43 to: // if (1 == $options[‘ fancybox’]) { // wp_enqueue_script(‘ngg-photoswipe-disable-fancybox.js’, plugins_url(‘ p$ // } This disables the check for fancybox. If you’re using fancybox, you’re on your own. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/26f6ba650ee78d03f174993af6107f9d70cc9e272468fe7400ca5ae851dd3c00? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Doesn't work with 3.6](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/doesnt-work-with-3-6/)󠁿 [theatereleven](https://profiles.wordpress.org/theatereleven/) February 7, 2017 I have a simple, custom WP site built on 3.6. Have a single NextGen gallery with 20 photos. Upon installation this plugin throws and error and crashes the nextgen gallery page. The error I received is: Warning: Illegal string offset ‘fancybox’ in C:\wamp\www\wp-content\plugins\photoswipe-for-nextgen-gallery\ngg-photoswipe. php on line 41 Bummer…was hoping this plugin would work.
