Introduction

ColorBox is a lightweight customizable lightbox plugin for jQuery. More information about ColorBox can be found here: http://jacklmoore.com/colorbox/

In Plone 4 ftw.colorbox also adds a view called colorbox_view for folders and topics which provides a ColorBox gallery when images are clicked on. The above view has been removed in Plone 5, though we are open to restoring it via a PR.

Caveat

As noted in the colorbox source code you must ensure that colorbox's CSS is loaded before its JavaScript.

Configuration

Configuration options are stored in the configuration registry (plone.app.registry).

colorbox_config

The options passed to the colorbox function (see ColorBox documentation for more details). Provide one option per line. Example:

transition: "fade"
speed: 250
maxWidth: "90%"
maxHeight: "90%"

The following configuration options ONLY apply to the colorbox_view on Plone 4.

image_size

The name of an image size configured in the imaging control panel (e.g. large). If no size is given (default) images will be displayed in original size.

batch_size

The number of thumbnails shown on a page. Default is 12.

row_size

The number of images shown per row. If set to 0 (default) all images are floated in the same row.
