Major Update: Gallery, Slider & Modernized Focuspoint Image

This release significantly expands Image with Focuspoint.

The package now contains three blocks:

• Image with Focuspoint
• Focuspoint Gallery -> new
• Focuspoint Image Slider -> new

The original Image with Focuspoint block has also been substantially modernized and no longer depends on the old jQuery FocusPoint implementation.

New: Focuspoint Gallery

A responsive gallery for consistently cropped images with an individually configurable focus point for every image.

Content

• Select multiple images through the Concrete CMS File Manager
• Load all images from a Concrete CMS file set
• Configure a separate focus point for every image
• Add YouTube and Vimeo videos alongside images
• Automatically prevents duplicate image selections

Gallery layout

• Responsive column counts for phone, tablet and desktop
• Configurable thumbnail width and height
• Optional thumbnail cropping
• Adjustable spacing between gallery items
• Optional captions below thumbnails
• Lightbox captions can use the file title, current page name, a shared custom caption or no caption

Lightbox

• Full-screen responsive image and video viewer
• Images are centered and scaled to show as much of the original image as possible
• Focus points affect thumbnails only and do not crop lightbox images
• Previous and next navigation
• Left and Right Arrow keyboard navigation
• Escape key support
• Touch-swipe navigation on mobile
• Privacy-enhanced YouTube embeds
• Video entries are clearly identified in the gallery

New: Focuspoint Image Slider

A responsive image slider based on the standard Concrete CMS slider feature set, enhanced with individual focus-point support and a more spacious editor.

Slide management

• Select multiple images in a single File Manager operation
• Add all images from a Concrete CMS file set
• Configure a separate focus point for every slide
• Drag and drop slides to reorder them
• Duplicate images are automatically prevented
• Optional title and description for every slide

Slide links

Slides can link to either:

• an internal Concrete CMS page; or
• an external URL.

Internal pages take precedence when both are configured.

Linked slides make the image itself clickable. Adding a link without a title or description does not create an unnecessary caption or "Read more" overlay.

Playback and layout

• Configurable slider height
• Configurable maximum width
• Adjustable slide duration
• Adjustable transition speed
• Optional automatic playback
• Optional pause on hover or keyboard focus
• Arrow navigation
• Pagination dots
• Arrows and dots
• Option to disable navigation
• Respects prefers-reduced-motion
• Keyboard navigation
• Accessible status announcements

Improved: Image with Focuspoint

The original block received a substantial editor and frontend update.

Improved editor

• Select an image and immediately configure its focus point
• No longer necessary to save and reopen the block first
• Click or drag directly on the image preview
• Fine-tune the focus point with the keyboard arrow keys
• Hold Shift for larger keyboard adjustments
• Reset the focus point to the image center
• Live focus-point coordinate feedback
• Modern display-height control with clearer size guidance
• Improved alternative-text and title fields
• Internal page selection through the Concrete CMS sitemap selector
• External URL fallback when no internal page is selected

Modernized frontend

The obsolete jQuery FocusPoint implementation has been removed.

Responsive image positioning now uses native browser functionality:

• object-fit
• object-position
• responsive sizing

Images use their Concrete CMS file URLs directly and now include lazy loading and asynchronous image decoding.

Existing normalized focus-point coordinates remain supported.

A clear placeholder is shown in edit mode when no valid image is available.

Validation & reliability

This release also includes:

• Improved Concrete CMS file-object validation
• Safer focus-coordinate normalization
• Bounded and sanitized image-height values
• Safer internal-page and external-link resolution
• Improved alternative-text, title and URL sanitization
• Graceful handling of deleted or invalid internal pages

Package maintenance

• Package description updated for the expanded image, gallery and slider functionality
• New installations register all three block types
• Package upgrades refresh installed block types so schema changes are applied
• Removed obsolete jQuery FocusPoint helper scripts and styles
• Removed unused demo images and icons
• Removed compiled translation binaries

2.2

We have implemented a greatly improved user interface that eliminates the need to add a block to the page and then edit all the information separately. Now, you can set the image and edit the focus points in a single step. Additionally, we have performed code cleanup to enhance the overall quality and readability of the code.
