WP Facebox

June 21, 2008

WP Facebox Plugin

Automagically invoke Facebox on gallery items and linked images in a post or page.

Takes Facebox and wires it up for sweet WP action. Also makes julienne fries. Maybe.

Installation

  1. Unzip and upload the wp-facebox directory to /wp-content/plugins/
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
  3. There is no step 3.*

* Note: For advanced configuration, refer to the comments of the constructor method, located near the bottom of wp-facebox.php

FAQ

What does this plugin do, exactly?

  1. For any image contained in a post that has been specified as linked to the image source (the default, e.g. a large image resized to ‘medium’ and linked to the larger version), add a rel attribute with the value facebox. This is accomplished as a filter on the_content.

  2. Any linked content inside a shortcode gallery will demonstrate identical behaviour to those linked images in posts; viz., when clicked they will giggle and squee in delight, emitting sunshine and rainbow glitter.

Or, you know, a Facebook-style lightbox appears with the linked content.
