Subfolder handling

Oriel Pro uses the subfolders of the selected source to display the content as albums or filters. Oriel Pro can therefore not only generate individual galleries, but also create entire album overviews based on your folder structure. Of course, the title images & description text of these albums can be freely defined. In addition, you can also ignore subfolders in the module settings and thus prevent their contents from being displayed in Oriel Pro.

Choose between four layouts

Oriel Pro comes with four layouts that will make your images shine with an unprecedented brilliance. In addition to the album overview, which turns your sub-folders into albums, the flat & filtered modes allow you to display all your images in the main folder and in sub-folders on one level. The "Ignore" layout only shows the images in the defined folder and does not render the images in subfolders.

Default, Cover & Masonry Thumbnails

With Default Thumbnails your images are taken over into the gallery in 1to1 format, the thumbnails are not cropped.
The cover thumbnail mode is our heart, if it is activated you can define the desired aspect ratio of your thumbnails. This way you can create consistent grids and don't have to worry about the aspect ratio of the images.
The Masonry thumbnail mode is similar to the default mode, your images are not cropped, but the lines are flexible, so it's a Masonry effect.

All integrated

Of course Oriel Pro provides you with everything you need. Thanks to the integrated UIkit3 framework, the module is completely autonomous and independent of plugins / templates.
- Integrated Lightbox (Single Image & Gallery Mode)
- UIkit3 Grid System up to 6 columns
- Columns can be configured for small, medium and large screens
- Mobile first
- Album / Filter Deeplinking support
- Modern styled Overlays
- Label Custom Rules & Translation Support (including support for Regular Expressions)
- ....

Dynamic Source

Are we the first? Yes, I think we are the first! - For the first time ever, Oriel Pro for Joomla makes it possible to create dynamic galleries. By using customfields as pathinformation source, Oriel can dynamically display different albums / galleries / images for each item. Simply define the source of the images in an article customfield and publish the module on the same page as the corresponding articles.

Dynamic Updates

Maintaining and updating galleries as soon as new images / albums are added can be time consuming. Not anymore! Oriel Pro does it all for you. The Dynamic Source approach allows you to easily upload new albums and images via FTP. The images are automatically added to the gallery. Just tell your photographer where to put the new images and Oriel Pro will do the rest.

Customisable

Oriel Pro allows you to benefit from the full potential of the included UIkit3 framework. All relevant container elements can be extended with your own classes in the backend module and thus be adapted to your needs. No matter if it's the complete gallery, the album overview or the images. Either a specific class has already been defined by us or you can define one (or more) own class(es) in the backend.
