There are loads of Flash-based photo gallery scripts around. Does anyone know of a jQuery based one that works with EE2? I’m looking for something simple I can pop open in a lightbox.

Here we use http://galleria.io/. Pretty straight forward to use.

Edit: Sorry, I didn’t saw the lightbox mention. I did something similar here http://www.grpinternational.eu/fr/photos-videos/. I used Lightbox directly.

I use Galleria on a site as well, but it doesn’t have a lightbox.

I haven’t used it personally, but http://www.tn3gallery.com/ is also pretty nice.

If you’re wanting a simple thumbnail -> lightbox type gallery, check out http://fancyapps.com/fancybox/ it supports arrow key navigation as well.  The one Pv Ledoux mentioned is one I’ve successfully used in the past as well.

Thanks. I just got word from the TN3 gallery folks that although it works with an xml file, the file has to have a suffix, i.e. mypics.xml rather than the /site/mypicsxml type url that EE would give me.

How are you all setting up Galleria? I’m wondering how it scales.

Personally, I use Assets (http://pixelandtonic.com/assets) to select images and ed_imageresizer (https://github.com/erskinedesign/ed.imageresizer.ee2_addon) to size/crop the images, and use something like this to create my gallery using Galleria:

<div id="galleria">
 {assets_images}
  {exp:ed_imageresizer
      image="{url}"
      maxWidth="700"
      forceWidth="yes"
      alt="{desc}"
  }
 {/assets_images}
</div>

Doesn’t exactly apply to your lightbox method, but may give you an idea.
