Features
- A "photoswipe" and "photoswipe_responsive" image formatter compatible with image and media entities
- Ability to use photoswipe as an image formatter inside views
- (5.x only) A twig function to attach photoswipe to images in a custom twig template.

Photoswipe 5 library installation
photoswipe:^5 only!
Composer (recommended)
- Enable usage of third-party libraries using composer, see here for an explanation.
- Require the photoswipe library using composer require bower-asset/photoswipe:^5
- (Optional) Require the photoswipe dynamic caption plugin using composer require npm-asset/photoswipe-dynamic-caption-plugin:^1.2
- Check your status report
Manual
- Download the "PhotoSwipe-5.3.8" zip file
- Unzip and place the contents of the unzipped "PhotoSwipe-5.3.8" folder into "library/photoswipe" folder so that the folder structure is: library/photoswipe/dist/photoswipe.esm.js
- (Optional) See how to manually require the photoswipe dynamic caption plugin here
- Check the status report for errors
CDN
- Go to '/admin/config/media/photoswipe' and enable the 'Load PhotoSwipe library from CDN' option
- Check the status report for errors
Then simply configure your image fields to use Photoswipe as their field display handler.
Note: If you would like to use the "Photoswipe Responsive" display formatter, please enable the core "Responsive Image" module first.
Extending modules
- PhotoSwipe Inline Text Filter: Provides a Text Filter to make your inline images (e.g. images inserted through CKEditor for example) use photoswipe without manually adding HTML / CSS
Special thanks to Dmytro Semenov for creating the photoswipe library
Miscellaneous
In PhotoSwipe 5 the "Photoswipe image caption" option is present on the regular Display page of image fields (on
/admin/structure/types/manage/library/display), but missing for the same image field in a View. The solution is Drupal core issue #2686145: Formatter third party settings missing from Views UI, and you can patch Drupal core until it gets fixed.
Drupal 7 specific setup
The Drupal 7 version depends on jquery_update (>2.2).
Because PhotoSwipe needs a jQuery version bigger than 1.5, jquery_update version 2.2 won't work. Please use the 2.3 version and make sure you have selected jQuery version 1.7 (recommended) or 1.8 in jquery_update settings.
Drupal 7 version information:
- Branch 7.x.4.x: For PhotoSwipe v4.x
- Branch 7.x.1.x: For PhotoSwipe v3.x (NOT SUPPORTED ANYMORE!)
