If you would like your end-users to be able to view images in closer detail, you can integrate the Image Zoom application in just a few simple steps.

 

Once installed, the Image Zoom application automatically applies to all images on the site that have been scaled down in the Text and Image Editor. The smaller version of the image will be displayed as the on page element, when clicked a dynamic full-sized version of the image will overlay the page.

 

NOTE: Images that are not scaled down will still overlay the image in the same dimensions as the one on the page version. To disable the Image Zoom effect for such images, click the Reset button in the General Settings column of the Text and Image Editor.

 

Install the application

To get started, click on Control Panel > Applications, and install the Image Zoom application for your account.

 

Prepare the image

For each image that will have a zoom version:

  • Resize the image to a smaller (thumbnail) size through the image settings panel. Preserve the aspect ration by clicking on the padlock icon () prior to resizing.
 

NOTES:

  • This application does not install in any menus, but, once installed, automatically works on all pages of your site.
  • If the Page Layout has more than one column, this application will work only in the first column of the website.
  • The Image Zoom will NOT apply to images that are set as Links.
