Download link: scroll at the bottom of all explanations. You must have javascript activated in order to download the two files (support for joom 1.5 & 1.0x are in separate files).
Last update: automitically add next/previous action on images in same article (can be disabled), improved naming of thumbnails, better support for fcke and more.
If you update fboxbot, I advise you delete your cached thumbnails to free some disk space (naming of thumbnails changed a bit).
Images
Works exactly the way I would want it if I programmed it myself. No coding and completely automated. Don't forget to turn it on in your Plugins list. This was the only thing that stumped me for about 1/2 hour.
This was a incredible smart way to create galleries. No need to add {galleryplugin}folder{galleryplugin} tags in the code, and you dont have to use special procedures to upload the files. What I wish for is translation of the strings in the popupbox (next, previous and close), but for people who know code its easy to replace them directly in the plugin file :) A parameter for setting background color / text color on the popup box would also been a good addition :)
It couldn't be simpler, works with no conflicts, I did try some other similar plug-ins but they didn't work well with other scripts already loaded on my site, this one is simple and easy to install and to use later on. Thank you for making this small but powerful time saving plug-in. Cheers
Worked exactly as described. Easy to install and customize. Needs frontbox pop-up extension from same developer's Website. I really liked the feature that it re-sizes the pop-up with the browser window size. Thanks for this nice plugin, it enhanced the site functionality without adding unnecessary weight to the code.
Thank you so much for this. I needed a Picture handler to handle my investment charts for my website. All other solutions were becoming tedious work and very time consuming. This allows me to add charts of any size to my signals and articles and makes it way easier to style the article pages with the use of thumbs. All my users have to do is click and a larger more detailed chart pops up. If i have more than one chart to display it automatically shows them all with a next / previous button - Fantastic! now I can spend more time delivering my advice and articles instead of fudging with the way it looks. Perfect for joomla newbies like me.
