## Description

Yet another gallery plugin. I was looking for a simple gallery where you can
 select
a thumbnail, see the complete picture in a acceptable size but also have the oppertunity
to see the details of the image. I searched the web for a way to do this and found
the AnythingZoomer, a jQuery Plugin by Chris Coyier. I originally used this jquery
plugin for this WordPress plugin.

In version 0.5 the plugin was completely re-written. The generated HTML is completely
different, the JavaScript was re-designed and the CSS was created from scratch. 
Also inner zoom was introduced.

It works well for e-commerce sites like webshops or as a photo gallery.

It is easy to adapt if you would want to, but the default behaviour should be
 very
much usable by anybody.

There is a settingspage to customize the images used and wheter or not to over-

write the default gallery shortcode.

If you want to use this gallery, simply use the [superzoomgallery] shortcode in

your post or page, or enable the overwriting of the gallery shortcode and use the
default wordpress [gallery] shortcode in your post or page.

Since this is still an early version, I recommend to test it out first before taking

it to a production site.

If you have any questions or problems, I would be happy to hear from you and help

you if I can!

## Installation

Unzip and activate. There is a settingspage which allows you to select which image
sizes you would like to use and wheter or not to use this gallery as the main gallery.

(pro) If the default sizes of the images (thumb, medium, full) don’t look very good,
you can add image sizes via your theme. This way you can customize the image sizes.

## FAQ

  Can I change the look of the gallery?

Basically, most of style information is in szg-style.css. If you want to
 change
the HTML, then look in the superzoomgalley.php for the function ‘generate_gallery’.

  I have some problems with my theme. It works great with the default theme.

Hmm, possible a CSS problem. Do not hesitate to contact me on the forum!
