What are the practical applications of integrating the Isotope jQuery library into Minima.pl?

I am really puzzled by the implementation done by Minima.pl (http://minima.pl/pl) where they integrated a feature in Isotope library that allows clicking on a thumbnail to open a larger gallery of images. One can click on a single image and cycle through the rest of the images in the gallery while also rearranging the Isotope items.

So far, I have made some progress ->

If anyone has any insights or suggestions on what I might be missing to make this work, I would greatly appreciate it!

Answer №1

Greetings! I am the creator of the minima.pl website ;).

Here is the snippet responsible for rearranging tiles after clicking on one:

$('#mainContent').isotope('reLayout', function(){
  $('html, body').animate({scrollTop: item.offset().top - 10}, 400);
});

This code also ensures that the browser window scrolls to the top of the clicked tile.

I have set up this action to trigger after loading the content of the clicked tile through AJAX. The key is to execute it simultaneously with enlarging the chosen tile.

Please feel free to ask any additional questions you may have.

It's quite straightforward to achieve this functionality. Normally, when you click on an Isotope .item, it can be maximised and minimised by subsequent clicks. To add interactivity inside a clicked-on Isotope .item, simply exclude the minimisation function from that specific item. Instead, clicking on another Isotope .item will minimise the previously selected (maximised) item. By keeping track of the previously selected .item, interactions within the maximised .item won't close it. Here's a basic logic for enabling maximising and minimising only through clicking on a "header" zone within each Isotope .item:

$(document).ready(function () {

var $container = $('#container');

        $container.isotope({
            itemSelector: '.item',
                masonry: {
                columnWidth: 128 // corresponds to the width relationships of .item divs
                }
        });

        // $container.isotope('shuffle'); // randomise for new visitors

        $items = $('.item'); // to reference methods on all .item divs later

        $('.header').click(function () { // register clicks only on the .header div within .item

        var $previousSelected = $('.selected'); // required for switching

        if ($(this).parent().hasClass('selected')) { 

            $(this).parent().removeClass('selected');
            $(this).parent().children('.maximised').hide();
            $(this).parent().children('.minimised').show();

           $items.find('.minimised, .header').removeClass('overlay'); 

            } else {

            $previousSelected.removeClass('selected');
            $previousSelected.children('.minimised').show();
            $previousSelected.children('.maximised').hide();

            $(this).parent().addClass('selected');
            $(this).parent().children('.minimised').hide();
            $(this).parent().children('.maximised').show();

            $items.not('.selected').find('.minimised, .header').addClass('overlay');

            }

        $container.isotope('reLayout'); 

        });

    });

You can customize the interactivity within each Isotope .item as needed; whether hardcoded or dynamically...

When you click on a thumbnail, an ajax function will retrieve the same gallery with a larger image to replace the thumbnail. Isotope will then rearrange the gallery for you. Check out this example at or my personal site at .
