Fancybox Light

Fancybox Light

Fancybox is a great lightbox alternative because it is easy to customize and it looks really nice. I used it for the first time in my AutoGallery script and thought it worked out nicely. This past week I have been working on a photo gallery plugin for mango blog called "Memento". I have decided to make the code a little cleaner by separating the fancybox code from the rest of the plugin. It made the most sense as it allowed users to make their own decision about what lightbox script they wanted to use.

I am releasing this plugin as a "light" version because it uses the older 1.0.0 version of fancybox and does not have as many options as the current release of fancybox (currently 1.2.1). Many of the newest features of fancybox appear to be made in an effort to make it work more like Shadowbox by incorporating more media types than just images. For a photo galery this isn't necessary and the light version works just fine. I do plan to release a full version later if people find it useful enough to merit the work. If your a big Fancybox fan let me know in the comments.

    thanks!
    Maybe you should create a version of fancybox 1.2.1 that doesn't have the white border, and with an easy way to manage iframe sizes...

    It's all been hell for me xD
