Extension:Image Gallery

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.
