Great plugin



Posted on 11 July 2009
This is a great plugin. I was worried about it being to code heavy, but its as light as can be.





Alex
Its an excellent, elegant and awesome plugin.

Easy to use and works like dream.



Only I do not know how I should set some space between the article text and the floadted img, since when I put some value into the editing box of image in the editor, it gets cleared.
Mavik Thumbnails is the only thumbnail plugin that played in every joomla site i have tried (including windows and linux servers) with no problems.



I have made a little modification, so that the plugin creates thumbnails not for every resized image, but only for those who belong in a specific class. I describe those changes in case someone needs them:



In file mavikthumbnails.php, change line 156 from:



if ( $this->img->getHeight() || $this->img->getWidth() )



to



if ( ($this->img->getHeight() || $this->img->getWidth()) && $this->img->getClass() == 'mavik' )



In file imgtag.class.php, under the line 80 add the following:



$this->_class = @$this->_attributes['class'];



and at line 127 under the function getWidth() add this one:



function getClass()

{

return $this->_class;

}



Afterwards upload these two files to the folders plugins/content and plugins/content/mavikthumbnails respectively (replace the original ones).



From now on, to create a thumbnail for an image in an article, you have to define that the image belongs to class "mavik" (e.g. ) and use the mouse to resize the image in the editor. That's all.
No adding class names. No limitations on size or shape of your thumbnails. No fugly text hanging outside the picture frame. No editing code of any description.



Just install (via Joomla), insert an image (via Joomla) and resize to a smaller size (in the article editor via Joomla, just as you'd do now). In short, do *nothing* any differently than how you do it now... except you get beautiful slimbox displays of the images in your article - automatically.



I'm in love with this extension!

simplicity wins

This plugin is very easy and runs well!

In my opinion only one thing is missing - the possibility to switch off the thumbnail-making for separate images. Sometimes you have to resize pictures but you altough do not want to have a big version of it on click...that would make it even better!

Thank you!
This is a 5 star plugin. It does everything I wanted it to do.





If you resize an image within the article, then all the images will pop-up with that particular article.



However, if in another article, you do not resize any images, then no pop-up will appear. Which is great because it means you have more control over which images you want as a gallery.







Bad Points:



The developer should provide some documentation and images, to show exactly how to plugin should be installed, set-up properly and to show how one should edit the images.



Other than the above point (which is immaterial) this is a great plugin. Thanks a million.

Great Plug In

This plug in is exactly what I needed. Many thanks to the developer. I will be donating to the coffee fund for this one!
Very nice peace of work. Best plug-in ever. The plug-in did make my site crash all of a sudden. The page with a large file stayed blank. Disabling the plugin the website solved it. After enabling logging I found out that the PHP memory limit was exceeded. In my case this could be solved by adding a .htaccess file in the root of the web space with just one line:



php_value memory_limit 16M



Did not find any support site or forum so I thought of sharing the info here.

Very good, but...

It's a wonderful plugin, very easy to use... but... doesn't run in IE7: "cannot open the Web page". I lost many visits until find this problem (I do not use IE, of course, but many people uses). I tried to fix the problem (behavior.php),

but it did not work ... has no support for me (in English or Portuguese) .. unfortunately ..
Owner's reply: Write me e-mail and detailed describe your problem and give me link to your site.

Great plugin



Posted on 11 May 2009
Must say that this is one of the most usefull plugins on this site.



In the era of mootools and jquery framework, i suggest you to make also options with some known boxes with moo and jq, ofcourse if u have time.



However, great plugin!
