Shutter Reloaded Plus Plugin

Shutter Reloaded Plus is an image viewer for your website that works similarly to Lightbox, Thickbox, etc. but is under 8KB in size and does not require any external libraries.

It has many features:

• keyboard navigation with arrow keys, left and right arrows, and close by pressing the Esc key
• resizing large images if the window is too small to display them with option to show the full size image
• combining images in sets
• redrawing the window after resizing, RESPONSIVE
• pre-loading of neighbour images for faster display and very good browser compatibility
• integrate with Google Analytics to count each image view as a page view

• option to display a like button for the current page in the control bar

• click outsite de image to close de slideshow

This plugin offers customization of the colour and opacity settings for the background and colour for the caption text, buttons text and the menu background.

There are options to enable it for all links pointing to an image on your site (with option to exclude some pages), or just on selected pages. It can be enabled only for image links with CSS class=”shutter” with option to create a single set or multiple sets for each page.

The plugin can also “auto-make” image sets for each Post, so when several posts are displayed on the “Home” page, links to images on each post will be in a separate set. See the built-in help for more information.

I have … plugin installed that uses javascript, will there be any conflicts/incompatibilities?

Since Shutter Reloaded Plus does not use any js libraries, it does not interfere with them.

What will happen if my site visitors have JavaScript disabled?

Then none of your links will be changed and will work as usual.

I have a thumbnail link but it points to a webpage, not to image. Will that affect Shutter Reloaded Plus?

No, Shutter Reloaded Plus looks only for links pointing to an image (with thumbnails or not), and will not change any other link, even if the link has the same CSS class used for activation.
