13rac1's sandbox: jQuery Zoom Tour

Introduction

This module implements the jQuery Zoom Tour plugin in a Drupal module as a field formatter for field collections. The plugin description from the OP is: Showing a main image initially, we want to be able to zoom into certain parts of the image by clicking on tags, using another image for the closer view. This next step can contain other tags that again allow to show more images. We achieve the “zoom” effect by enlarging the current image and fading in the new one.

Requirements

• field_collection module
• field_values module (currently in my sandbox.)

Install

Install the module, and use the Features based sub-module zoom_tour_content_type as needed: either an example to create your own field collection or as is. Make sure the Display Zoom Tour formatter is selected on the Content Type Display settings.

Status

This is module is complete and used in a production environment, but I don't have the time to support it or continue development. Hopefully, this can be used as a good base for someone else. If anyone would like to be added to a maintainer please contact me. As is, I will not be promoting it to a full project. Both module dependencies could be coded out, if needed.

jQuery plugin license

I contacted the creators of the plugin regarding the license. They say the code is free for all use, but "be nice" don't sell it and if possible reference them as the original authors. Details on the code license here: http://tympanus.net/codrops/about/ I understand the license as "Public Domain". Feel free to argue about it.
