## Description

Responsive and touch-friendly lightbox for WordPress.

Has no options. It will run on posts/pages/attachments. It will **NOT** run on categories,
archives, front page etc.

Thanks to:

 * [Osvaldas Valutis](https://osvaldas.info/) for [ImageLightbox.js](https://osvaldas.info/image-lightbox-responsive-touch-friendly)
 * [Veeck](https://github.com/rejas) for his [ImageLightbox.js fork](https://github.com/rejas/imagelightbox)

## Installation

 1. Upload wp-imagelightbox to `/wp-content/plugins`
 2. Activate plugin from admin interface

## FAQ

  Where are the options?

There aren’t any at the moment!

  How to change the imagelightbox type?

At the moment there is no way to change the type unless you edit the code of the
plugin. Inside wp-imagelightbox.php you can edit the option parameters to whatever
you desire. Please keep in mind they will be overwritten on update.

As a realtor, my sites depend on images. Big images with few distractions surrounding
them. This gives me EXACTLY what I want. I’m new to WP so this is so easy to use.
Many thanks!

Brakuje chociażby kilku podstawowych opcji, jednakże działa najszybciej, najlepiej,
i zawsze dostosowuje się do sytuacji.

## Changelog

#### r13

 * One more bump

#### r12

 * Fixed a typo in the activation code

#### r11

 * Fixed an issue where swiping left/right and closing the image by touching outside
   the image didn’t work while logged in (`#wpadminbar` had a higher z-index)
 * Disabled “history” by default, so we don’t break users back buttons in certain
   cases, needs more investigation

#### r10

 * Added !important to our zoom button so it doesn’t get overriden by theme styles(
   hopefully)

#### r9

 * Added a very rudimentary “open in a new tab” button to let the browser handle
   large images (ie: screenshots)
 * Fixed the shape of navigation buttons on mobile (now they are round)
 * Also moved the navigation buttons on the bottom on mobile.

#### r8

 * Fixed an issue with the init script being present on archive pages
 * Remove the $type from the data-imagelightbox attribute, as we don’t use that 
   anymore

#### r7

 * Refactored the init script
 * Updated ImageLightbox.js, swapped to https://github.com/rejas/imagelightbox
 * Cleaned a lot of code

#### r6

 * Forgot to add the new .js name to the repo (can we have git, please, wordpress.
   org?)

#### r5

 * Fixed version number loading

#### r4

 * Added a “view original image” button which opens the current image in a new tab
 * Defaulting to mode=f which corresponds to Osvaldas’ “combination” mode
 * Stuff that I forgot?

#### r3

 * Fixed dependency on jQuery

#### r2

 * Tweaked the CSS a bit. Overlay is now dark, nav is “tigther”. Looks better on
   mobiles phones, too (imho).

#### r1
