</ul>
<p><strong>Follow & contribute to this plugin on <a href="https://github.com/rocket-galleries/rocket-galleries" rel="nofollow ugc">Github</a>.</strong></p>
<p>The modern, straight forward interface is built to fit right into the WordPress admin area. It’s built to feel like native WordPress functionality, not a plugin, which is great for impressing clients and instantly feeling familiar with the plugin’s admin area. Simple, just the way we like it.</p>
<p>Rocket Galleries is also developer friendly. We’ve made it easy to integrate the plugin with your theme by including a template loader. This allows you to create your own gallery templates and use your own HTML, CSS and Javascript easily. We’ve also included dozens of filters and actions within the plugin’s code, allowing you to hook into the core and create your own Rocket Galleries extensions. The possibilities are limitless!</p>
<p>Last but not least, Rocket Galleries is a very new plugin, so we look forward to your feedback. Over the next couple of months we’re hoping to rapidly develop it’s functionality, so feel free to use the <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/rocketgalleries/" rel="ugc">Support Forums</a> to make feature suggestions and feedback.</p>

<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>
<h3>Credits</h3>
