Using collective.prettyphoto and collective.plonetruegallery to make a pop up gallery.

Consider looking at medialog.popupworkflow

.

 

1) Install collective.prettyphoto and collective.plonetruegallery

2) Edit a plone page, and insert a link to a gallery
3) Mark the link with "prettyphoto iframe" from the drop down menu.
4) Manually edit the link so you have this.
path/to/gallery/@@placegalleryview

In other words the html code should now look something like this:

<p><a class="prettyPhotoIframe" href="gallery/@@placegalleryview">Link to my gallery</a></p>
Truegallery link
Clicking on the link should now open the gallery in an overlay.
Overlay truegallery
You might want to edit the prettyphoto settings in /yoursite/portal_properties/prettyphoto_properties
