FancyBox Gallery vs PiwigoPress

FancyBox Gallery integrates the FancyBox jQuery plugin into the WordPress gallery functionality. Simply use the gallery shortcode to display thumbnails in your posts with the option to link directly to the images (not the attachment template), and the plugin handles the rest. You get nice popups for the larger sized images, scaled to fit in the browser window, with a nice overlay effect. Features: Automatically scales large images to fit in window Adds a nice drop shadow under the zoomed item Groups related items and adds navigation through them (uses preloading) FancyBox jQuery features, not yet implemented in the WordPress plugin: Can display images, inline and iframed content Customizable through settings and CSS ToDo Add a settings screen. Allow control of FancyBox display options. Let user set their own CSS selector, instead of assuming the standard WordPress shortcode. Credits The FancyBox jQuery plugin is by Janis Skarnelis, and can be found here: http://fancy.klade.lv/
