Magento 2 module: Remove's Fotorama and, hopefully, headaches.
Replaces the Magento 2 standard Fotorama gallery with a slick variant, as also used in PageBuilder for Magento Commerce stores.
This module is currently considered unstable and should not be used outside of development.
- This project is still a work in progress. There are currently no options available through layout arguments or view.xml as intended.
- CSS is added via the layout
<head>argument which is bad and will be moved to_module.lessin future.
- Replaces / Removes Fotorama
- Uses slick (Magento PageBuilder also uses this)
- Uses slick lightbox for fullscreen image viewing
- Adds placeholder / preview content before the Gallery fully initialises, leading to a much smoother page load experience
- Images that are not immediately visible on the page are lazyloaded appropriately
- Supports video from YouTube and Vimeo
- Only initialises
iframeelements when the relevant video thumbnail is clicked (and automatically plays the video to save clicking twice!) - Moderately flexible styling, although the base CSS still needs work
