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.
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 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
