In the photoswipe documentation there's the code, which opens the gallery on the thumbnail click. What I am trying to do is to open the gallery (fist slide) on the webpage load.

I've tried to call openPhotoSwipe(); function from the different areas of the code, with index=0, I tried to modify the function itself, but I don't fully understand how the function works - so in every trial it just stops working. How to change the js code properly so it would open the galley on load of the webpage?

<div class="my-gallery" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/ImageGallery">

    <figure itemprop="associatedMedia" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/ImageObject">
        <a href="large-image.jpg" itemprop="contentUrl" data-size="600x400">
            <img src="small-image.jpg" itemprop="thumbnail" alt="Image description" />
        </a>
        <figcaption itemprop="caption description">Image caption</figcaption>
    </figure>

    <figure itemprop="associatedMedia" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/ImageObject">
        <a href="large-image.jpg" itemprop="contentUrl" data-size="600x400">
            <img src="small-image.jpg" itemprop="thumbnail" alt="Image description" />
        </a>
        <figcaption itemprop="caption description">Image caption</figcaption>
    </figure>


</div>
var initPhotoSwipeFromDOM = function(gallerySelector) {

    // parse slide data (url, title, size ...) from DOM elements 
    // (children of gallerySelector)
    var parseThumbnailElements = function(el) {

  • Maybe look for alternatives, for example, it would be quite easy accomplished using fancybox (http://fancyboxjs.com) – Janis Sep 17 '19 at 17:50

Gotta wrap it in the jQuery document ready call...

$( document ).ready(function(){
  initPhotoSwipeFromDOM('.my-gallery');
})

  • This function initializes the overall js function which gets information from DOM, but it doesn't open the gallery... – Matt D. Aug 13 '19 at 10:52
  • I guess the openPhotoSwipe function in the code above opens the gallery putting info to "gallery = new PhotoSwipe( pswpElement, PhotoSwipeUI_Default, items, options); gallery.init();". I just don't know how to call this function on load of the document, so it opened the gallery – Matt D. Aug 13 '19 at 10:56

You could redirect, directly to the gallery unique URL.

Or, if you are linking to the gallery from somewhere else on your website just link to the gallery directly.

See answer on how to redirect: HTML redirect on page load

And use your galleries unique address such as; mywebsite.com/#&gid=1&pid=1
