Swipebox field formatter

Experimental project

This is a sandbox project, which contains experimental code for developer use only.

This module provides a simple field formatter to output images with Swipebox, a jQuery "lightbox" plugin for desktop, mobile and tablet. (see http://brutaldesign.github.com/swipebox/)

The code is heavily borrowed from fancybox module.

How to use:

  • get the Swipebox library and place it in sites/all/libraries (so jquery.swipebox.min.js is located in sites/all/libraries/swipebox/source)
  • enable the module
  • set your desired image fields' display settings to swipebox and choose your desired image styles for both the displayed image and the one used inside the swipebox overlay

Limitations

  • no backend configuration options (swipebox options are limited anyways), so the setting to always show the caption and navigation bar is currently hardcoded in swipebox.js, as this is my desired behaviour
  • Caption settings currently always act as if set to automatic, no matter if "title" was chosen as the only source for the caption
