Envira Gallery - Deeplinking Addon

Gallery links can point to a collection without identifying the particular image or video a visitor wants to share. This addon gives each item its own URL, making it possible to direct people to specific media in an Envira Gallery gallery. Site owners can use those links to highlight individual items, and visitors can share or bookmark them.

As visitors browse items in the gallery, the URL hash updates to match the current image or video without reloading the page. A deeplinking toggle in the gallery settings lets site owners enable or disable the feature. When visitors close the lightbox, the addon clears the hash from the URL.

Features

• Unique item URLs: Each image or video in a gallery gets its own URL, allowing visitors to open or share a link to a specific piece of media.
• URLs update while browsing: The URL hash changes to reflect the current gallery item as visitors browse, without requiring a page reload.
• Direct sharing and bookmarks: Visitors can copy a link to a specific photo or video to share it or save it for later reference.
• Gallery setting toggle: A setting in the gallery configuration lets site owners turn deeplinking on or off for the gallery.
• Hash clears on close: When a visitor closes the lightbox, the addon removes the URL hash associated with the selected gallery item.
• Individual items are indexable: The addon creates indexable URLs for individual images and videos in a gallery, giving search engines addresses for specific media.
