WordPress Plugin: Simple Popup Images

by David Peralty on August 1st, 2006 2 Comments

A little old-school, the Simple Popup Images shows images in their own pop-up window. None of that crazy AJAX mess.

The Simple Popup Images plugin allows you to add pop-up images to your Wordpress blog. You put a thumbnail image in your post; if a user clicks on it, a larger version appears in a separate window. Want to see it in action? Check out this post.

Features that I think are cool:

Plugin’s UI makes it easy to add the image and thumbnail to your post

Can automatically make thumbnails from a large image (requires the GD library to be installed)

The resulting popup window can, if you like, vanish the moment the user clicks away from it

Easy installation

Hi there, this sounds like an awesome plugin

Is there any possibility of using this to show swf files in the popup? That would be absolutely perfect for a project I’m currently working on.

Please tell me it can be so

Thanks!
