[UPDATED March 14th, 2011]

With recent infrastructure updates, we have removed an endpoint the BZT depended on. Effective immediately current implementations will no longer work. We apologize for the last minute notice.

- SmugMug

I got to alpha test this. Nice work, David. There are way MORE than a few folks on Dgrin who should be sending you nice thank-you boxes from Jack Stack's BarBQ Ribs

Thanks Andy

kick ass...

except....

EEEK! Tables for layout. If I get a chance I'll see if I can't modify it a smidge

thanks Mike.....well complain to smugmug, i hacked up their code

No probs, modify it.....just post it so I can update the files.

This looks great. But I'm not sure I understand how to implement it. Can you explain? Seems like a lot of JS to include on every page for a utility that is almost never used (but when it is you really want it bad!).

This is fantastic!!!! Thank you so much!

sure Gary....


css.txt contents -> CSS block
javascript.txt contents -> Javascript block
header.txt contents -> Header or Footer block

The Javascript code has function that automatically loads ....


addEvent(window, "load", addBulkThumbnail);

addBulkThumbnail checks to see if you're loggedIn and on a Traditional gallery page, if not it does nothing.


So basically there is nothing to implement, apart from adding the code.

Hope this helps,

David

Thank-you Greg.

I think it might have been your request for this feature that actually inspired me to write this.

Cheers,

David

you're so new age.

i agree about tables for layout...but sometimes if it works....

You know, I have only been a smugmug member for a little over a month, and I didn't even know about the zoom thumbnail feature.



But I must say that your tool is neat. I'll have to try it on my site later on, and crop my thumbnails...



For some reason, people on this site tend to use the most gratuitous emoticons...

Thanks. I guess I didn't make myself clear though. What I mean is, even though it's a very clever tool, it's a tool that is of no use to anybody except the site owner, so dumping that much custom code into every page on the site just to implement a tool that is only used by one person and only rarely, makes no sense to me. Or am I missing something? I really, really, really think this should be implemented by SM.

But ... but...
you can use it now
and, it's FREE
and you're not executing it on every page, are you?

if ur that worried about some custom code being loaded, you could load the script file dynamically if required.

I give up. This is so obviously a piece of functionality that SM should provide. The JS file alone is 19kb! I don't want to dump 19kb of JS onto my site for something that a user never even uses. I don't want to maintain bugfixes for it. I don't want to figure out how to load it dynamically. I want it to be part of the service I'm paying for. I don't think that seems like an unreasonable request.

Hi Gary. Ouch - I can see you are upset. Maybe step back a minute - and appreciate the value of the hacker community here that's come up with a pretty neat hack.

JT and Onethumb have desires to have this tool in place in the SmugMug system, but there's no promise on if/when - so, why not enjoy the ride for a while?

Hey Dude,

Listen... you obviously have a bee in your bonnet about this, take it up with support.

I am not forcing you to use this hack, so take it or leave it...doesn't bother me.

David

For Pete's sake. This is not about whether or not Dave's tool is way cool. It certainly is a damn clever piece of work. I just don't think it is the best, or even an appropriate, solution to the mindnumbing tedium of zooming a gallery full of thumbnails.

Excellent! I definitely second that emotion.
