How to use Galleria plugin with Rails 4 Pipeline

Question

I\'ve recently had a trouble making Galleria plugin work with Rails 4 Pipeline and it took me a while to figure out how to make it work, so I wanted to share the solution in cas

Answer 1

I've just used this in Rails 4.1 as well with Galleria version 1.3.5. Copy the files from the main galleria folder into the various parts. Note that I'm using the classic/default (free) theme.

# app/assets/images
classic-loader.gif
classic-map.png

# app/assets/javascripts
galleria-1.3.5.js
galleria.classic.js

# app/assets/stylesheets (rename with .scss extension)
galleria.classic.css.scss

Open up galleria.classic.js and edit the line css: '...' to be css: false (around line 17 if you don't alter the code).

That's all I had to do in order to get it working with Rails 4. I played around with placing the files in the vendor/assets folders, but that became a nightmare fairly quickly. I found the above solution to be the simplest/cleanest.

Update: 2016-02-02

I'm still using this same setup with a Ruby 2.2.3, Rails 4.2.4, Galleria 1.4.2 setup.

Make sure in your galleria.classic.scss stylesheet you use the image-url("classic-map.png") helpers. No problems with this current setup.
