image popups??

  • i’ve seen a lot of plugins out there that do a lot of things with images, but not one feature. where you click on a thumbnail that is linked to the full sized image and it just goes to a new page with just the image on it. i’d like to be able to just have a popup window that has the image in it that is sized to the image. no toolbar, status bar, etc…just the image in it. i’ve been doing this with an annoyingly tedious string of code and would like to find an easier way of doing this. i’ve tried javascript for this, but i can never get it to work…

    can anyone help?

    thank you

  • I use a plugin called zap_imgpop – https://www.zappelfillip.de/index.php/2005-10-25/zap_imgpop/.

    That zap_imgpop was pretty cool, I’ll agree (although I had to go up the directory and then back down to see the page)

    In the past, I’ve written a ‘hack’ (it was before plugins) so that a thumbnail image would be wrapped in href tags like:

    <img src=”picture_t.jpg” etc etc />

    $url in this case looks like “/bigpicture.php?pic=picture.jpg”

    the bigpicture php page would find the image, set it into a basic template page, and then another javascript function would resize the page on loading to just above the size of the image.

    It sounds like a long process but it wasn’t really, once I broke it up into steps. Are you up for this, would the zap one above work for you, do you need more specific help? I can dig out those functions for you.
