FancyZoom is a simple, clean image zoomer with a drop shadow and close box meant to emulate the visual style of Mac OS X. It is based on FancyZoom 1.1 created by Cabel Sasser of Panic, Inc. The original Javascript has been rewritten with JQuery and compressed for speed.
UsageOnce the module has been enabled, FancyZoom automatically applies throughout the entire website. Any link (text or image) that points directly to an image file will zoom that image in-place instead of opening it in a separate browser window. For improved responsiveness, the zoomed image begins loading as soon as the user hovers over the link. To prevent a particular image link from zooming simply add rel="nozoom" to the link's attributes.
The settings form (admin/settings/fancyzoom) includes customizable options for speed and appearance, and uses the Colorpicker module if installed.
License FeeAlthough free for non-commercial use, Cabel Sasser requests a one-time license fee for use on commercial websites. Please visit the FancyZoom web site for more details.
