It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress. ![](https://ps.w.org/video-link-gallery/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev=2249730) # Video-Link-Gallery By [mbergann](https://profiles.wordpress.org/mbergann/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/video-link-gallery.1.0.2.zip) * [Details](https://scn.wordpress.org/plugins/video-link-gallery/#description) * [Reviews](https://scn.wordpress.org/plugins/video-link-gallery/#reviews) * [Installation](https://scn.wordpress.org/plugins/video-link-gallery/#installation) * [Development](https://scn.wordpress.org/plugins/video-link-gallery/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/video-link-gallery/) ## Description This plugin creates a video-gallery for youtube- or vimeo-videos or direct video- file-links by simply defining the gallery with shortcodes. The Videos will be opened in a lightbox. By default the “[PhotoSwipe](https://photoswipe.com/)“-Lightbox of Dmitry Semenov is used. (at the moment it is the only one) This plugin is really simple and clean designed to be easily extendable. * there is a “src/VideoProvider”-directory where every Video-Platform (like youtube or vimeo) is defined in an own php-class implementing a class-interface. * there is a “src/ Lightbox”-directory where every lightbox is defined in an own php-class, implementing a class-interface * there is a “src/Shortcodes”-directory where the “[video-gallery]”- Shortcode is defined – that is where the magic happenes – but there is no need to edit this file. #### Parameters and video-provider-specific specials All parameters – general parameters and also video-provider-specific parameters are set directly in the [[video-gallery]]-Shortcode. #### general parameter description default lightbox name of the lightbox-class that should be used PhotoSwipe #### Youtube parameter description default yt_nocookie use youtube-nocookie.com instead of youtube.com in video-links to be GDPR(DSGVO)-save true #### Vimeo In vimeo the preview-image-URL doesn’t use the video-ID – so you need to make an API-request to get the image-URL. In this API-call we also get the original title of the video. For this reason we need the php CURL extension. The thumbnail will be taken from the API-response. When no manual video-title is defined, the video- provider-class uses also the original video-title from API-response automaticly. ### Extending the Plugin You can easily extend the Plugin by writing your own classes for Video-Platforms or other Lightboxes – you just have to implement the Interfaces. ## Screenshots [⌊gallery-view / thumbnails⌉⌊gallery-view / thumbnails⌉[ gallery-view / thumbnails [⌊PhotoSwipe-Lightbox with Youtube-Video⌉⌊PhotoSwipe-Lightbox with Youtube-Video⌉[ PhotoSwipe-Lightbox with Youtube-Video [⌊PhotoSwipe-Lightbox with Vimeo-Video⌉⌊PhotoSwipe-Lightbox with Vimeo-Video⌉[ PhotoSwipe-Lightbox with Vimeo-Video [⌊PhotoSwipe-Lightbox with local hosted video⌉⌊PhotoSwipe-Lightbox with local hosted video⌉[ PhotoSwipe-Lightbox with local hosted video [⌊class- and directory-structure - designed to extend easily⌉⌊class- and directory- structure - designed to extend easily⌉[ class- and directory-structure – designed to extend easily ## Installation 1. Upload this plugin files to the `/wp-content/plugins/video-link-gallery` directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly. 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress 3. now you can use the [video-gallery]-Shortcode as descripted! ## FAQ My Video is not listed in the thumb-gallery – what am I doing wrong? Let me take my crystal ball: – Maybe you have a typo in your video-definition? – Or you might have a closing square bracket in your video-title that is confusing my regular-expression?! How can I extend the plugin to support more video-plattforms? You just have to copy-and-edit a given (or create a new) VideoProvider-Class. The VideoProvider-Class MUST implement the VideoProviderInterface. To get a faster and more clean result you SHOULD also use the VideoProviderAbstract class to extend from that – so you don’t have to write some methods that are identical in most cases a second time. How can I extend the plugin to support more lightboxes? You just have to copy-and-edit a given (or create a new) Lightbox-Class. The Lightbox- Class MUST implement the LightboxInterface. The Lightbox-Class creates the html- code for thumbnails and also the lightbox itself. In future versions it’s also planned to decouple this a little bit… but at the moment it was the simplest way to implement the lightbox. How can I change the lightbox There is a parameter “lightbox” – for more details: see Parameters-section in description ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Video-Link-Gallery” is open source software.
