This plugin adds elevateZoom support to WordPress.

For more about elevateZoom see http://www.elevateweb.co.uk/image-zoom.

##Installing the plugin

1. Download the zip file (see button in right-hand margin >) and upload via the new plugin screen in your WordPress admin interface.
2. Review the settings at Settings > elevateZoom and change as necessary

##Adding elevateZoom to single images

To activate elevateZoom on an image you just have to give it a class of 'elevatezoom' (or whatever class you set in the settings). However, the zoom will only work if a zoom image has been specified and there are 2 ways to do that:

1. When you add an image via the WordPress media dialog, select link to media file (but don't use a caption). This will output HTML something like:

<a href="original.jpg"><img src="image.jpg"></a>

Just add the class 'elevatezoom' to the img element and the script will assume that the zoomed image is that referenced by the parent a tag.

2. If you don't want to use the linking method, then you can specify the zoomed image using the data-zoom-image attribute:

<img src="image.jpg" class="elevatezoom" data-zoom-image="original.jpg">

##Adding elevateZoom to galleries

The plugin adds its own gallery shortcode, zoomgallery, which is really a cut-down version of the builtin version that writes out HTML that is more appropriate for elevateZoom.

The best way to generate the zoomgallery shortcode is actually to create a normal WordPress gallery and then just edit the name from gallery to zoomgallery. So, if you create a gallery that looks like this:

[gallery ids="1,2,3,4,5"]

then just change it to this:

[zoomgallery ids="1,2,3,4,5"]

###Gallery image sizes

The gallery image sizes are set in the Settings > elevateZoom page. The sizes are:

• thumbnail - the navigation / selection image
• display - the normal image that appears when it's thumbnail is clicked
• zoom - the image that provides the zoomed detail

IMPORTANT! If you are using the plugin on an existing site then previously uploaded images will not have versions of these sizes so you will either need to use a plugin such as Regenerate Thumbnails or manually edit and resave the image.

###Adding Fancybox to galleries

elevateZoom integrates nicely with Fancybox, a Lightbox alternative and the plugin also supports this, so long as you have installed a Fancybox plugin, such as Easy Fancybox (https://wordpress.org/plugins/easy-fancybox/).

To enable your gallery images to be displayed in a lightbox on click, just add the attribute "data-fancybox" to the zoomgallery shortcode with a value of "yes" :

[zoomgallery ids="1,2,3,4,5" data-fancybox="yes"]

##Overriding default settings on individual images & galleries

The default settings used by elevateZoom can be overridden on an image or gallery basis by specifying the setting locally.

For example, the default is for a window zoomType with a lensShape of square and a lensSize of 200. Let's say that for one image you wanted to use a round lens zoomType with a size of 100:

<img src="image.jpg" data-zoom-type="lens" data-lens-shape="round" data-lens-size="100" data-zoom-image="original.jpg">

Or for a gallery:

[zoomgallery ids="1,2,3,4,5" data-zoom-type="lens" data-lens-shape="round" data-lens-size="100" data-fancybox="yes]
