Stacked Photo Card Gallery/Slider Using jQuery And CSS/CSS3

This tutorial shows how to make use of jQuery and CSS animations to create a fancy stacked photo card gallery/slider just like a stack of polaroid pictures.

How to use it:

1. Add images to the slider following the HTML structure as these:

<div id="allcontent">
  <div id="maincontent">
    <div class="portfolio">
      <img src="1.jpg" alt="Image Alt" /><br />
      <div class="ombra"></div>
    </div>
    <div class="portfolio">
      <img src="2.jpg" alt="Image Alt" /><br />
      <div class="ombra"></div>
    </div>
    <div class="portfolio">
      <img src="3.jpg" alt="Image Alt" /><br />
      <div class="ombra"></div>
    </div>
    <div class="portfolio">
      <img src="4.jpg" alt="Image Alt" /><br />
      <div class="ombra"></div>
    </div>
    <div class="portfolio">
      <img src="5.jpg" alt="Image Alt" /><br />
      <div class="ombra"></div>
    </div>
  </div>
  <div id="navi"></div>
</div>

2. The main CSS for the slider.

img {
  width: 100%;
}

#allcontent {
  margin: 60px auto 0 auto;
  width: 100%;
  max-width: 1140px;
  height: 700px;
  position: relative;
  animation: comein 1.5s ease-in-out;
}

.portfolio {
  width: 100%;
  max-width: 1000px;
  position: absolute;
  right: 0;
  top: 0;
  transition: 0.2s;
  cursor: pointer;
  box-shadow: -2px 0 3px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);
}

.portfolio:nth-child(1) {
  left: 10px;
}

.portfolio:nth-child(1):hover {
  left: 0px;
  transform: rotate(-2deg);
}

.portfolio:nth-child(2) {
  left: 10%;
}

.portfolio:nth-child(2):hover {
  left: 5%;
  transform: rotate(-2deg);
}

.portfolio:nth-child(3) {
  left: 20%;
}

.portfolio:nth-child(3):hover {
  left: 15%;
  transform: rotate(-2deg);
}

.portfolio:nth-child(4) {
  left: 30%;
}

.portfolio:nth-child(4):hover {
  left: 25%;
  transform: rotate(-2deg);
}

.portfolio:nth-child(5) {
  left: 40%;
}

.portfolio:nth-child(5):hover {
  left: 35%;
  transform: rotate(-2deg);
}

.opened {
  z-index: 1000;
  left: 0 !important;
  transform: rotate(0deg);
  box-shadow: 0 0 3px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);
  width: 100%;
  max-width: 1140px;
}

.opened img {
  z-index: 5;
}

.ombra {
  position: absolute;
  bottom: 20px;
  left: 10px;
  width: 90%;
  height: 20px;
  box-shadow: 0 15px 10px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.7);
  transform: rotate(-2deg);
  display: none;
  z-index: -1;
}

.ombra:after {
  display: block;
  content: "";
  position: absolute;
  bottom: -8px;
  right: -93px;
  width: 90%;
  height: 20px;
  box-shadow: 0 15px 10px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.7);
  transform: rotate(4deg);
}

3. Style the navigation bullets.

#navi {
  position: absolute;
  bottom: 50px;
  left: 50%;
  margin: 0 0 0 -62px;
  background: #000;
  opacity: 0.8;
  color: white;
  height: 24px;
  border-radius: 20px;
  padding: 7px 10px 0 10px;
}

.circle {
  display: inline-block;
  width: 15px;
  height: 15px;
  border-radius: 10px;
  background: #efefef;
  border: 1px solid #000;
  margin-right: 6px;
  cursor: pointer;
}

.circle:hover {
  background: white;
  border: 1px solid #ccc;
}

.circle:active,
.activenav,
.activenav:hover {
  background: #666;
  border: 1px solid #333;
}

.activenav {
  cursor: default;
}

.circle:last-child {
  margin-right: 0;
}

4. Include the needed jQuery library on the page.

<script src="/path/to/cdn/jquery.min.js"></script>

5. The main JavaScript (jQuery script) to activate the slider.

$(".portfolio").each(function (index) {
  $(this).attr("id", "img" + (index + 1));
});

$(".portfolio").each(function () {
  $("#navi").append('<div class="circle"></div>');
});

$(".circle").each(function (index) {
  $(this).attr("id", "circle" + (index + 1));
});

$(".portfolio").click(function () {
  if ($(this).hasClass("opened")) {
    $(this).removeClass("opened");
    $(".portfolio").fadeIn("fast");
    $(this).find(".ombra").fadeOut();
    $("#navi div").removeClass("activenav");
  } else {
    var indexi = $("#maincontent .portfolio").index(this) + 1;
    $(this).addClass("opened");
    $(".portfolio").not(this).fadeOut("fast");
    $(this).find(".ombra").fadeIn();
    $("#circle" + indexi).addClass("activenav");
  }
});

//navi buttons
$("#navi div").click(function () {
  if ($(this).hasClass("activenav")) {
    return false;
  }

  $("#navi div").removeClass("activenav");
  $(".portfolio").removeClass("opened");
  $(".portfolio").show();
  $(".ombra").hide();

  var index = $("#navi div").index(this) + 1;
  $("#img" + index).addClass("opened");
  $(".portfolio")
    .not("#img" + index)
    .fadeOut("fast");
  $("#img" + index)
    .find(".ombra")
    .fadeIn();

  $(this).addClass("activenav");
});
