The plugins site is currently in development.

We've been looking to provide a higher-quality, spam-free experience at the plugins site for some time, and a major error on our part forced us to shut down the current site before we could put the new one in place. We are developing a new site, and you can follow along with its development on GitHub. For more information about this transition, including steps you can take as a plugin author to prepare, please read our post about what's going on.

thumbnail


$().simplethumbs

Submitted by wayfarer on March 28, 2010 - 12:02pm

Simplethumbs is an easy to use thumbnails script for jQuery for quick thumbnails gallery creation. It also has an autoplay feature for automatic cycling of the images. It is a very basic script, but is easy to configure with 4 callbacks to easily integrate with custom code if needed.

Here's my sample page and some documentation: http://wayfarerweb.com/jquery/plugins/simplethumbs/

Although very lightweight, it is probably all you'll ever need for a thumbnail gallery.

This is a verry small image resizer.

Demo on the site.

Thumbnail hover popup

Submitted by kpeterson on February 27, 2009 - 3:19pm

This plugin will display a thumbnail’s larger image like a tooltip when you hover over the thumbnail. This can be used for sites whose thumbnails and larger images have almost the exact same filenames except for one piece that changes between the two. An example is thumbnails ending with "_thumb.jpg" and large images ending with "_large.jpg". You provide the plugin the filename flags for each size and then when users hover over a thumbnail the plugin will create a tooltip and load the large image by swapping the size flags.

I originally made the plugin for Greasemonkey so I could preview larger images on certain sites without having to click to the next page. It also works great when implemented directly on a site. Example sites that use this filenaming convention are flickr, vi.sualize.us, and tinypic.

popeye - an inline lightbox alternative

Submitted by herr-schuessler on November 11, 2008 - 3:59pm

Popeye generates an inline image gallery from an unordered list of images. The gallery features clever inline image enlargement, i.e. the enlarged image stretches out over the site content without adding a visual overlay of the whole site. It stays fixed with one edge to its original coordinates, so that a sense of cohesiveness is created in the user interface and interaction.

One image with optional caption and image counter will be displayed at a time, and the user can navigate through the entire gallery by clicking buttons that appear on mouseover.
