Extension:SlimboxThumbs

News
Updates and bugfixes to this extension will become available mid-April

Description
SlimboxThumbs incorporates Christophe Beyl's fullsize image viewer Slimbox 2 into MediaWiki's thumbnails and image galleries.

When a user clicks on a thumbnailed image or an image in a gallery, the page darkens and the image is displayed full-size "on top of" the page. A caption below the image includes the image's title and a link to its description page, along with the caption on the thumbnail, if any. Clicking anywhere off the image returns everything to normal.

Images in galleries are treated as being part of a slideshow, and have "previous" and "next" images.

Bugs

 * If there are multiple galleries on one page, they are treated as being part of one big slideshow.
 * This extensions conflicts with the GuMaxDD skin, resulting in the skins's DropDown menu not working.

Todo

 * Set resize height according to browser height
 * Load javascript (jQuery) only on pages with galleries
 * Change resize width & height on window.resize
 * Convert code to object-oriented-code
 * Try to replace the regexp mess with some better hook or data handling...

Release Notes

 * 0.0.5 - fixed bug where pictures wouldn't be adequately resized if other image-links would be on the same page.

Props
Thanks to Alexander for creating the original Lightbox 2 version of this extension.
