Usage

By default plugin works only in Joomla! articles. If you want to use it in any content, set "Mode" parameter to "Anywhere" in plugin settings.

If you use a WYSIWYG editor, it usually allows you to resize images through a handle like in Microsoft Word. After adding an image, click on the image and then resize it. The plugin will create a thumbnail with lightbox effect for that image automatically.

An image can be also resized if a new image "width" and "height" is defined directly in a HTML code. For example images/my_photo.jpg image has 800 x 600 dimensions and you want to create a thumbnail with 400 x 300 dimensions. Use the following HTML code for the image:
