Integrates the FancyBox jQuery plugin to generate dynamic pop-up image overlays for WordPress galleries.
FancyBox Gallery integrates the FancyBox jQuery plugin into the WordPress
gallery functionality. Simply use the gallery shortcode to display
thumbnails in your posts with the option to link directly to the images (not
the attachment template), and the plugin handles the rest. You get nice
popups for the larger sized images, scaled to fit in the browser window,
with a nice overlay effect.
FancyBox jQuery features, not yet implemented in the WordPress plugin:
The FancyBox jQuery plugin is by Janis Skarnelis, and can be found here:
http://fancy.klade.lv/
Copy the fancybox-gallery folder and its contents to your wp-content/plugins
directory, then activate the plugin.
Visit the settings page to configure options.
By default, FancyBox Gallery is configured to work with image galleries
generated by the WordPress [gallery link="file"]
shortcode.
The FancyBox jQuery can work with other embedded media types. I have not
tested the WordPress plugin with anything other than images, though.
For example, I have heard reports that the Opera browser wants to center the
image on the whole document, not just in the visible viewport. Browser
issues most likely will have to be dealt with in the underlying FancyBox
jQuery plugin. For these types of problems, please visit:
