I have a site where I want the user to be able to zoom in on part of an image. @Doobox has a loupe stack that does what I want, but it has a bug that causes my page to load funny. I’ve contacted them several times about this with no response, so need to move on. S4S Zoomy works well, but I prefer the UI of a magnifying glass, rather than filling the viewport with a zoomed image. I’ve searched for alternatives without success, but maybe I missed something. Anyone know of an alternative to these options?
Take a look at this: Magnify Image Stack for RapidWeaver
I hope this is what you need.
Joe workman’s stack are my fabs. Still haven’t played with this one, but I feel to recommend it!
Great! Exactly what I want. But you made the mistake of asking for feedback, so here goes:
It would be nice for one of your settings options to allow the loupe to follow a hover mouse instead of only drag. It threw me for a half second that it appeared on hover (nice discoverability), but then required a drag to move. That is totally usable for my purpose, but if you had a “move with hover” option, I would probably choose that one for my site.
I care about how the images are selected and sized, which I can’t tell from the sandbox. I would prefer the zoomed image to be 100%, and user-defined size of <100% for the base image. Whether the stack resizes the single image down for the base image or asks me to upload a smaller version, I don’t care. But what I don’t want is for the base image to be stuck at 100%, and zoom gets set at some value >100%, as I would worry about quality.
I know it’s not ready yet, so this may be known, but when I dragged the loupe from one image to the next without letting go of the mouse button, I triggered the following bug:
The stack is 100% done now. I spent an extra week on it adding some features that I was going to add after launch. Figured getting all of my plans done up front would make for a better launch. I just have demo and videos to make.
