I use Wiki.JS (sometimes referred to as wikijs without the dot) for both work and personal reasons (yes I’m one of those nerds who has a personal wiki for info about his life 😝).
One of the pain points has been inserting images.
By default Wiki.JS emededs images as full sized.
Now, yes, I know I could write markdown to alter the size, but what I really miss from my own documenting days, is having all images open in a modal window when clicked.
Enter … jQuery, and Bootstrap.
And, yes I also know that Wiki.JS uses Material Design.
I opted to use Bootstrap 4.6.2, as I have local libraries all over my web spaces (terminaladdict.com uses 4.6.2 for instance).
Include the jQuery and Bootstrap libraries
First we need to include the jQuery and Bootstrap libraries.
In wikijs->administration->theme
there is a section labelled “Head HTML injection”.
add this:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@4.6.2/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" integrity="sha384-xOolHFLEh07PJGoPkLv1IbcEPTNtaed2xpHsD9ESMhqIYd0nLMwNLD69Npy4HI+N" crossorigin="anonymous">
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/jquery@3.5.1/dist/jquery.slim.min.js" integrity="sha384-DfXdz2htPH0lsSSs5nCTpuj/zy4C+OGpamoFVy38MVBnE+IbbVYUew+OrCXaRkfj" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@4.6.2/dist/js/bootstrap.bundle.min.js" integrity="sha384-Fy6S3B9q64WdZWQUiU+q4/2Lc9npb8tCaSX9FK7E8HnRr0Jz8D6OP9dO5Vg3Q9ct" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
Add HTML for the modal window
In wikijs->administration->theme
In the section labelled “Body HTML injection”.
add this:
<!-- lightbox Modal -->
<div class="container-fluid d-print-none">
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-8">
<div class="modal fade" id="lightboxModal" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="ModalSearchLabel" aria-hidden="true">
<div class="modal-dialog modal-lg" style="max-width: 80% !important" role="document">
<div class="modal-content">
<div class="modal-header">
<h5 class="modal-title hidden" id="ModalSearchLabel">Larger Image ...</h5>
<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close">
<span aria-hidden="true">×</span>
</button>
</div>
<div class="modal-body" id="lightboxModalBody">
<!-- content here -->
</div>
<div class="modal-footer">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary" id="lightboxModalURLButton">Open in new Window/Tab</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<!-- end lightbox Modal -->
and the javascript in the same place below the modal HTML:
<script>
window.onload = function () {
$('img.thumbnail').each(function(){
var currWidth = this.width;
var currHeight = this.height;
$(this).attr('height', currHeight);
$(this).attr('width', currWidth);
});
$('.contents img').not('.emoji').each(function() {
$(this).attr('width', '250');
$(this).attr('rel', 'lightbox');
});
$('img[rel="lightbox"]').on('click', function() {
var url = $(this).attr('src');
$('#lightboxModalBody').html('<img src="' + url +'" alt="" class="w-100" \/>');
$('#lightboxModalURLButton').attr('onclick','window.open(\'' + url + '\', \'_blank\')');
$('#lightboxModal').modal('show');
});
};
</script>
You’ll notice I use a window.onload function.
This is required because of how Wiki.JS delivers content.
We need to wait for the window to complete loading before we tamper with DOM elements.
Add the image in to your document
Note: To be fair, I have only tested this with the markdown editor
Result
Now when the page loads, it creates a Bootstrap styled modal window, then uses JS to resize the image, and make it clickable.
My opinion
Well, obviously I’m a jQuery and Bootstrap guy.
I’d love to hear how this could be done with the included libraries already found in Wiki.js
