WordPress Plugin: Thumbnail Viewer 1.1
1.1 is now old, go get the newest.
I’ve released version 1.1 of my Thumbnail Viewer plugin, which still needs an official homepage. This release was prompted by a problem with showing the quicktag when authoring a new post or page. The quicktag wasn’t showing on WordPress 2.1 installations. So, as a result, WordPress 2.0.x is no longer supported by the Thumbnail Viewer plugin. If you want to use this plugin you’ll need WordPress 2.1 or later. Really, the plugin should still work with WordPress 2.0.x, however the quicktag won’t be available when writing a new post.
The issues in Internet Explorer 7 I spoke about earlier haven’t been resolved, quite. I’d say the plugin works fine in 98% or more of all Internet Explorer 7 installations. I’ve only had problems on one installation of IE7. I’m pretty sure this problem isn’t even directly related to this plugin. I say that because the demo page for the code this plugin is based on won’t work either in that same IE7 install. So, it’s apparently a problem in the javascript this plugin is based on. I guess as of right now, I’m considering the div display problem in IE7 to be out of my control.
Anyway, click the images below for a demo.

The above example was achieved with the following HTML:

1.1 is now old, go get the newest.
Installation
- Extract wp-thumbnailviewer folder from .zip to wp-contents/plugins/.
- Go to Plugins in WordPress dashboard and activate Thumbnail Viewer.
- That’s it! Write a new post to use the quicktag button or simply add rel=thumbnail to any link tag.
Upgrading
- Simply overwrite everything in wp-contents/plugins/wp-thumbnailviewer/ with everything in the wp-thumbnailviewer folder from the zip file.
- That’s it! You should now be using the latest Thumbnail Viewer WordPress plugin.

Hi Sean! Yes, it will work just fine with WordPress 2.3.3. This blog always runs the latest stable release of WordPress, currently 2.3.3, and it works flawlessly here. Let me know if you have any issues with it.

A quick follow-up to my previous post.
I can confirm the problem w/Firefox 1.x is related specifically to the plugin and not the JavaScript library itself. The examples found on the DynamicDrive page work as expected.
Any advice on how to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Hi,
Thanks for the outstanding plugin. I love the small footprint and performance.
I’m using Thumbnail Viewer v1.2 and it works exactly as expected in IE6. However, Firefox 1.x on Linux displays the thumbnail in the popup instead of the full size image. Yeah, I know, that’s an outdated version, but I keep it around for legacy testing.
Would someone mind taking a quick peek:

I’m not worried about it if it’s just a 1.x version issue.
Has anyone else experienced this and if so what’s the solution or workaround?
Thanks!

Please note that version 1.1 is now old. You should head over to the Thumbnail Viewer homepage for the newest version.
Thanks for the kind words Tim. Let me know if there’s anything I can add or change to make the plugin more useful.
Tyler,
Great plug-in. One of the best that I have used. Especially useful for us designers.
Cheers,
Tim

I think this can be used to create the archive page (i.e. browse photos on tags or categories) of a photoblog based on wp?
