Overview

The FancyBoxThumbs extension displays thumbnailed images in a Mac-style "lightbox" that floats overtop of web page. This can create a more user friendly environment, where the user doesn't leave the page every time they click a thumbnail.

Example

Version 2.2

The JS code was largely rewritten by Thijs Kinkhorst based on the approach in SlimBoxThumbs version 2014-04-01, which is copyright Vitaliy Filippov, GNU GPL 3.0 or later. This is to incorporate adequate scaling of the displayed images.

Version 2.0

• Version 2 was completely re-written.
• Takes advantage of ResourceLoader
• Makes better use of JQuery for the URL rewrite.
• Upgraded to fancyBox v2
• Provides ability to customize fancyBox options
