What a great timesaver. No more making thumbnails by hand for your articles. No paramenters, you just insert your full size image and resize it. The plug-in senses it and creates the thumbnail invisibly behind the scenes. It's MAGIC!

I am using the Joomla Modal setting in the plugin because the Slimbox had a small conflict.

Important: If all you see is a link instead of a thumbnail, just use JoomlaXplorer or similar component to change the thumbnail component to writable.

This plugins so simple, but this is really great, no need to add another css custom like other similiar plugin.

thanks.

It is a great plugin, really easy to uplaod it and works immediately!

I like, it makes life simpler. I have only one, pictures popup even before readmore in intro text, it would be more helpful if it make a link to article or if not possible not pop up before tag read more

Just a note for potential users that this plug-in does not work with images in modules -- even custom HTML modules, but only content items. You also can't "fool" it by using "include content item" to publish a content item to a module position. Too bad!

At last! After hours of trying different gallery plugins, I found that mavik Thumbnails is a nice simple plugin that simply does what I simply want to do - throw up a larger image in a lightbox if I have resized it. Brilliant!

With it enabled you add your picture to your content normally, resize it from the original, change the default alt text (usually picked up from the file name) to what you want the viewer to read when they click on the picture, and save.

Set and forget! Easy! Thanks!

Very useful extension, very good idea. But in Opera 9.52 does not work OK - after the click on thumbnail no big image is displayed, but smaller then thumbnail...

Had to register just to review this extension. Should be a part of standard Joomla install.

Use: Re-size an image, then it automatically will link to full size version. Don't re-size an image nothing changes. Exactly as expected.

Thank you!

For those who would like to change the default thumbnails dir: don't forget to set write permisions on it.
Ideea for improvement: the full size picture appears over when you hold mouse over it some time (no clik). The problem would appear when the picture is bigger then your screen size :) . If not, the full size picture should disspear when you move the mouse away of the thumbnail area.

Anyway... it is excellent in this version also!
Thanks'!

This is a great plugin - automatic, tiny, fast.

If it could create a gallery (like MultiThumb) it would be practically perfect.
If I could exclude it from certain pages (like MultiThumb) it would be perfect!

I ran into minor difficulties whilst implementing this plugin - some of the images were being resized, others weren't, so I dropped a quick e-mail to the author and got a response within minutes and he had solved the issue in no time! Luckily this issue helped him spot a little bug with relative URLs and this should be implemented in the next release.

the upper case extension thing is still not fixed. just had an issue with images with .JPG causing this error. Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /plugins/content/mavikthumbnails.php on line 215

So very easy, I even have my end users creating their own lightbox images! I have always had to have my users upload their images then tell me and I would encode them. This you just upload and insert image, then size the thumbnail. Major time saver.

My own wish is to stop it from interfering with the Google Maps plugin.

This plugin is superb. I had no issues using it. If you already have rel"lightbox" it will use those. It reads and displays "captions" if you have any set when inserting your images.

Note: This is only for individual images, I have yet to figure out an easy way to make a gallery from it.

Excellent plugin, the kind I was looking for quite some time!

Another review mentioned conflict with some photo gallery - well, I'm using Morfeo show gallery - no hiccups there at all.

Keep up the good work!

I can't believe that this small plugin (only 17KB) can do such a fantastic job!

It offers another feature for thumbnails generating, since we can set different size for each single thumbnail.

Thanks to the author.

If your images have then extension in uppercase, for example image.JPG instead of image.jpg, then, the plugin doesn't work.
To solve this, you need to change 2 lines of code in the plugin.

You need to open the file /plugins/content/mavikthumbnails.php with the eXtplorer, and modify the lines 169 and 189, this is the code that you need to change:

switch ($ext)
change to
switch (strtolower($ext))

then save and then bug was solved!

Thanks to share!!!

I just have to comment... So simple and so elegant!! I've been searcing for this plugin for long, long... It's so elegant that it should be incorporated into Joomla core.

Since there is no user interaction to make the plugin work I don't know if this suggestion is possible to implement, but anyway: It would be really perfect if the article author could choose that no link shall be created at all, only the thumbnail.

Btw: I use FCKeditor and it works perfect.

Vitaliy has produced an excellent plugin that does what it is supposed to do. What more needs to be said except, "Thanks"!

That´s a fantastic plugin but I can´t use it on one side, because the plugin is making trouble, when I use the Gallery2 Image Chooser Plugin for the JCE. When I put a thumbnail as a link to my G2 album and the mavik thumbnails is active, the article doesn´t work.
