<p><a href="http://fancybox.net/" rel="nofollow ugc">Fancybox</a> is a tool for displaying images, html content and multi-media<br />
in a Mac-style “lightbox” that floats overtop of web page. It was built using the jQuery library.</p>
<p>This plugin inserts the necessary elements required to run Fancybox on your blog. It also groups<br />
images within posts using rel attributes. (Based on the code found on <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/topic/automatic-adding-lightbox-rel-and-group-to-images-in-posts" rel="ugc">this</a><br />
forum thread)</p>
<p>To disable Fancybox per post: Add a custom field called ‘nofancybox’ and set it’s value to ‘true’.<br />
Instructions on how to add custom fields to posts can be found at <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Custom_Fields" rel="nofollow ugc">this</a><br />

<p>FancyBox Gallery integrates the FancyBox jQuery plugin into the WordPress<br />
gallery functionality. Simply use the gallery shortcode to display<br />
thumbnails in your posts with the option to link directly to the images (not<br />
the attachment template), and the plugin handles the rest. You get nice<br />
popups for the larger sized images, scaled to fit in the browser window,<br />
with a nice overlay effect.</p>
<h4>Features:</h4>
<ul>
<li>Automatically scales large images to fit in window</li>
<li>Adds a nice drop shadow under the zoomed item</li>
<li>Groups related items and adds navigation through them (uses preloading)</li>
</ul>
<p>FancyBox jQuery features, not yet implemented in the WordPress plugin:</p>
<ul>
<li>Can display images, inline and iframed content</li>
<li>Customizable through settings and CSS</li>
</ul>
<h3>ToDo</h3>
<ul>
<li>Add a settings screen. Allow control of FancyBox display options.</li>
<li>Let user set their own CSS selector, instead of assuming the standard<br />
WordPress shortcode.</li>
</ul>
