Deskripzioa
jAlbum Bridge is a WordPress plugin for showcasing jAlbum albums. By using this plugin you can add spectacular slideshows or grid-type galleries to any post or page in WordPress. The gallery can be a normal block or wide and full width in themes that support them. The gallery block is reponsive, looks great on mobile devices too.
Slideshow transition types:
- Cross-fade
- Zoom
- Ken Burns
- Slide
- Swap
- Stack
- Flip (3D)
- Carousel (3D)
- Book (3D)
- Cube (3D)
- Cover flow (3D)
Grid-type layouts:
- Grid
- Mosaic
- Strip
- Masonry
Please note, this projector pulls data from a JSON file, which is automatically generated when you make albums with database based skins (Tiger, Photoblogger, Lucid or Story), but you can also ask jAlbum to generate this file with any skin, see: “Settings / Advanced / Generate JSON data”. (Don’t forget to “Make album” and “Upload” after turning this option on.)
If you’re using the album from another site, make sure this site supports Cross Origin Resource Sharing (CORS), otherwise the projector’s access will be blocked. Note, if the WordPress site is under https, the album site must support https protocol too!
jAlbum is an album creator desktop application, which creates web albums of images on your hard disk. This way you can manage your photo collection right from your PC, no need individual uploads to a remote server.
- Create albums with folders, custom pages, external links
- No limit, you can use tens of thousands images or videos
- jAlbum manages the uploads: you can upload to any site (different from your WP site) or you can host them on jalbum.net if you wish
- Widely customizable albums
- Tons of features: Google Maps, PayPal cart, Feedback, search, etc.

MEG
-
Is this projector working on images within WordPress?
-
No, you don’t have to add the images to the WordPress Media collection. Simply use the jAlbum application – which runs on any PC – to create and upload albums separately of WordPress.
-
I can’t see the settings (inspector)
-
Click the 3 dots in the block’s header and click Show Block Settings or press CTRL-SHIFT-[,] to toggle!
-
What is the workflow?
-
-
First you create an album with the jAlbum application. See short instructions here .
-
Upload to separate (static) folder in your server’s root, e.g.
/albums
. Make sure to avoid naming conflicts with existing WordPress posts. If you already have a post (page) called “album” and you create a folder at site root called “album” they might interfere, and instead of the post the visitors will only see the contents of the static folder. -
Open a post (or page) in WordPress and use the
jAlbum box
button to insert or edit a projector. -
Provide the URL to the album, e.g.
/albums/Event1
, set the projector Type and other settings. -
Once finished click “Update” to actualize the post.
-
-
What format is required as Album URL?
-
You can use either “absolute” (e.g.
http://your-site-here.com/album/Travel
) or “site root relative” addresses (e.g./album/Travel
). -
Can I use an album from another site?
-
Yes, you can. However, you’ll have to have access rights on the album’s server. It’s called “Cross Origin Resource Sharing” (CORS), and can be controlled many ways, e.g. through the
.htaccess
file in the site root. By addingHeader add Access-Control-Allow-Origin "http://www.your-site-here.com/"
for exemple allows file access from the mentioned site. Once you already allowed access to “*” (any site) you don’t have to do anything more. -
Error: “Missing or no access to tree.json”. What can I do?
-
This error message means there’s either no tree.json (album database) in the given folder, or the server does not allow to access it. Check the following:
-
Check if the album’s output directory (Ctrl-Shift-O) in jAlbum contains tree.json. If not, choose a skin that supports JSON output (Tiger, Photoblogger, Responsive) or turn on the
Settings / Advanced / Generate JSON data
option. Make + Upload again. -
Check the Developer tools (F12 in Chrome) for the error. If it says “Cross Domain Access Denied” you’ll have to set proper CORS policies on the other site (see above), or if it’s on the same site make sure to use the same absolute URL format (with or withour “www” for example), or use the site root relative format, e.g.
/album/Travel
. -
If the browser complains about “Mixed content” thart means the WordPress page runs under secure (
https:
) protocol, while the album comes from an “unsecure” server. Ensure the album’s site also has “https:” certification or move the album to the same server as the WordPress page is on. -
If none of the above happens your (album) server migh not support “JSON” files by default. You might need to add
application/json
to the known MIME types on your server. By default Apache servers used to be configured properly, but most IIS servers need this modification.
