The Image Gallery extension enables a new Special Page (Special:Image_Gallery) that shows a File gallery with the following functionality:
- Lists all images in the wiki, ordered by date (most-recent first).
- Play/pause button (4 segs for each picture).
- Resizes images to width and height of the slideshow panel.
- Gives an information layer with the following information:
- File name (with URL to the file page)
- File description (if present in the Wiki page of the image).
- Modify the resizing script so only bigger images get scaled (don’t touch small images to avoid pixelate-distortion effect)
- Make use of ImageMagick to actually get images resized from the server, making it a faster script on the user end.
- If PNG files are found, replace transparency with white background
- Be able to search by keyword (searched in the image name only).
- PDF files are rendered as well (only PDF logo, but with link to the PDF file to be downloaded).
- Drop suggestions while typing in the search box.
- Block screen while searching the files (show “Wait please…”).
- Shows alert when results are not found.
