Editor's Note
- This extension requires registration to download.
Insert the normal way to your article, or module, or anywhere your image, re-size (if you want) and that's it.
only makes sense when you have pseudo thumbnails (downscaled Photos) in your website, which is not recommended for several reasons (bandwith, W3C comlpliant, ...)
not responsive
the popup is always scaled to 100% height+width

I've tried simple image gallery pro and about 8 other image pop-up plug-ins, but none of them could do a single image pop-up. They would only do a gallery of every image in a directory. This meant that it you wanted to place one single image in an article, you had to go and create a directory for it. Finally I can place a single image in an article, and keep all of my images in one, easy to manage directory.
One thing to be aware of, if you're using TinyMCE as your editor, you have to go to Extensions > Plug-in Manager > Editor TinyMCE - and in the first drop down box choose: Extended. This will allow the proper tabs to show up in the image editor when you add an image using TinyMCE while editing an article.
Thanks for the great extension!

It works perfect on IE for me. But not working on chrome or firefox.
In IE image loads instantly.
In chrome and firefox it keeps loading and never appears....
Any clue why is this happening? Thank you

Using Joomla 2.5.1.
I wanted a plug-in to open a lightbox (or similar) to display original image, on clicking image thumbnail in front-end article.
SP Thumbnail was very simple to install and use, and the facility to use CSS class(es) to control lightbox is exactly what I need. Well done! Modal window opens very fast.
However, it does not seem to generate a thumbnail for the small view - but uses the original image, scaled by attributes of img element - no saving in page display times etc for large original images.
So a miss for me I am afraid.

I had traled through all the iamge directories looking for a simple configuration image that I could use for images within an article.
I eventually found SP thumbnail which is exactly what I am looking for. Word of warning though: you do have to register before downloading. Once you have registered, go away and do something else for about 10 minutes, because the login isn't immediate.
I like this plugin because you can set up a class for any image you would like to resize. This makes it ideal for people who can't/don't want to trawl through loads of code.

Well, the extension does what is said in the description. It's not much but it's at least something. Therefore easy to use. There are no options concerning the way images are displayed - they open in the same window with their full size. In order to return to the article you have to use your browser navigation.
The registration process on the website is buggy, annoying and completely redundant.
I deinstalled the extension because it did not fit my needs. It did not make an extraordinarily good impression on me.
Instead I now use another free J!1.6-extension with far more options and no annoying registration.

Appreciate the comments. We already take in consideration the registration issue and took action.
Very easy to use and to set-up...
Strait to the point. Click and zoom.

Very good plugin, works like a charm out-of-the-box without special requirements or configurations.
Perfect when you need a simple yet effective tool to manage simple article images.
This function should be implemented directly into new joomla release.
Excellent work, I hope that upgrades will follow in the next future to give final user a smooth control over options, such as classes.

I'm glad more extensions are coming available for Joomla 1.6, including one for article images like this one. I have to say that this was a surprise and installed it to test this plugin and worked right from the start with very simple settings. Overall, this works great for anyone just wanting a basic popup view of any images, and with the ability to include all or select images with a class, is definitely a plus.
The only thing I discovered that I hope will follow up in a future release is the ability to to add more than one class to the image without having to do this to the plugin settings, like: class1 class2
Right now I cannot add two classes to an image from the content editor (eg: JCE editor) unless these two classes are added to the plugin settings for the class option as well. Adding just class2 in the plugin settings won't work if I add another class from my content editor. It would be great if whatever class is set in the plugin can append to any other class I apply to the image (like align-left, align-right, etc).
Overall, it's still a great plugin.

Thanks for your comments. We will see if it's possible to add this functionality.
