Allows WordPress to utilize Nick Stakenburg's
Lightview for images in posts and pages, including the WordPress image gallery. Lightview provides a clean, simple JavaScript image and gallery viewer.
After installing, the plugin will automatically use Lightview for all links to images and when the WordPress gallery is used. Lightview's use can be configured in the settings page.
- Upload the
z-lightview folder to the wp-content/plugins/ directory.
- Download Lightview from Nick Stakenburg's web site.
- Extract the Lightview zip file.
- Upload the
css and images directories to the wp-content/plugins/z-lightview directory.
- Upload the
js/lightview.js file to the wp-content/plugins/z-lightview/js directory
- Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.
That's it! Links to image files and uses of the gallery shortcode,
[gallery], will be updated to use Lightview. You can configure additional options in the Settings, z-Lightview page.
1.3.0
Note: As of version 1.3.0 the plugin will (by default) automatically backup installed Lightview files during updates; however, you'll need to install these files just once more--my apologies folks, I have addressed this issue going forward to ensure you are not inconvenienced again.
- Revised filters to better determine when Lightview should be used.
- Updated bundled Prototype library to version 1.6.1. This should provide better support for Internet Explorer 8.
- Revised Scriptaculous library to prevent it from trying to load additional, unnecessary add-ons (previously it would cause several 404 errors).
- Created a settings page (under the main Settings menu) to manage where and how the plugin should use Lightview.
- Added an option to prevent Lightview from being used on images linked to from external sites (configurable in the new settings page).
- Added an option to backup Lightview's JavaScript, CSS, and image files during updates to the plugin (this will ensure you do not have to re-download Lightview in future updates). This is configurable in the new settings page.
1.2.1
- Update to support PHP 4. This should fix the line 34 syntax error that would cause a fatal error when running in a PHP 4 environment.
1.2.0
- First public release on the WordPress Plugins directory.
