Implementing prettyPhoto in Blogger

prettyPhoto is a jQuery lightbox clone. Not only does it support images, it also support for videos, flash, YouTube, iframes and ajax. It’s a full blown media lightbox.

It comes with four themes and has been tested and known to work with Firefox 2.0+, Safari 3.1.1+, Opera 9+, Chrome, and Internet Explorer 6.0+.

prettyPhoto is released under the Creative Commons Attribution 2.5 license. This means it’s freely available for all projects (including commercial projects).

Steps to Add it to Blogger:



1.Login to the Blogger account.

2. Now Go to Design > Edit HTML.


3.Now search for the </head> tag and paste the following code just Above/Before it. 


<script charset="utf-8" src="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/27675057/PrettyPhoto/jquery-1.4.4.min.js" type="text/javascript">

</script>

<link charset="utf-8" href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/27675057/PrettyPhoto/prettyPhoto.css" media="screen" rel="stylesheet" title="prettyPhoto main stylesheet" type="text/css"></link>

<script charset="utf-8" src="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/27675057/PrettyPhoto/jquery.prettyPhoto.js" type="text/javascript">

</script>
Now search for the </body> tag and paste the following code just Above/Before it.

<script charset="utf-8" type="text/javascript">



$(document).ready(function(){

$("a[rel^='prettyPhoto']").prettyPhoto();

});

</script>

2.Go to the Post/Page you want to add the prettyPhoto and go to Edit HTML tab .


3.Now copy the code from below and paste it there.



<script charset="utf-8" src="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/27675057/PrettyPhoto/jquery-1.4.4.min.js" type="text/javascript">

</script>

<link charset="utf-8" href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/27675057/PrettyPhoto/prettyPhoto.css" media="screen" rel="stylesheet" title="prettyPhoto main stylesheet" type="text/css"></link>

<script charset="utf-8" src="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/27675057/PrettyPhoto/jquery.prettyPhoto.js" type="text/javascript">

</script>



<script charset="utf-8" type="text/javascript">



$(document).ready(function(){

$("a[rel^='prettyPhoto']").prettyPhoto();

});

</script>


4.Now for adding the images into prettyPhoto, Firstly add the image normally using Insert Image button



Now When you see the code in the edit HTMLwindow it would be something like this



<a href=" large3.jpg"=""><img border="0" height="90" src="/small3.jpg" width="120" /></a>


Make it like this



<a href=" " rel="prettyPhoto" ><img src=" " /></a>

As you can see we added only a rel="prettyPhoto".
For making a Gallery add the following code 


<a href=" " rel="prettyPhoto[pp_gal]" ><img src=" " /></a>

<a href=" " rel="prettyPhoto[pp_gal]" ><img src=" " /></a>
