});

How to use

Once the plugin was correctly installed you'll be able to see the Gallery option in the Insert menu or if you have added the gallery in the toolbar you can find the gallery icon there. After clicking on it a pop-up will appear.

On the bottom part of the pop-up you will see some buttons:

• Add Image
  • Opens the image form.
• Insert
  • Add your gallery to your content. (It will aply your changes if you are modifying a gallery)
• Remove
  • Removes the gallery. (Only if you are modifying a gallery.)
• Cancel
  • Closes the pop-up discarding all changes.

In the image form you have some input fields and buttons:

• Image url *Required
  • Write or paste your image URL
• Search
  • You can modify the plugin's code to use a custom file manager or you can remove this button.
• Alternative text *Required
  • Write or paste the image's alternative text for accessibility reasons.
• Title
  • Write or paste the image's title.
• Description
  • Write or paste the image's description.
• Credits
  • Write or paste the image's credits.
• Add
  • Adds your image in the gallery.
• Cancel
  • Closes the form.

With some images in the gallery they will be visible in the main table of the pop-up. The actions available to do are self explanatory.

Note: If the cursor was inside an already added gallery you will modify it, otherwise you will create a new one.

The resulting code of the gallery looks like this

<div id="slides">
    <div id="slide">
        <img
            title="THE TITLE GOES HERE"
            src="THE URL GOES HERE"
            alt="THE ALTERNATIVE TEXT GOES HERE"
            longdesc="THE DESCRIPTION GOES HERE"
        />
        <div id="title">THE TITLE GOES HERE</div>
        <div id="desc">THE DESCRIPTION GOES HERE</div>
        <div id="cred">THE CREDITS GOES HERE</div>
    </div>
    <div id="slide">
        <img 
            title="THE TITLE GOES HERE" 
            src="THE TITLE GOES HERE" 
            alt="THE ALTERNATIVE TEXT GOES HERE" 
            longdesc="THE DESCRIPTION GOES HERE"
        />
        <div id="title">THE TITLE GOES HERE</div>
        <div id="desc">THE DESCRIPTION GOES HERE</div>
