Shutter Reloaded WordPress plugin
Shutter Reloaded is an image viewer for your website that works similarly to Lightbox, Thickbox, etc. but is lean and mean at only 10KB size. It does not require any external libraries. It has all standard features: resizing large images if the window is too small to display them with option to show the image in full size, unlimited number of image sets, pre-loading of neighbour images for faster display and very good browser compatibility.
This plugin also offers customization of colour and opacity settings for the background and colour for the caption, text links (if used) and the image count.
There are options to enable Shutter Reloaded for all links pointing to an image on your site (with option to exclude some pages), or just on selected pages. It can be enabled only for image links with a specific CSS class or by using Lightbox style activation (rell=”lightbox[...]“). It also can “auto-make” sets for each post/page.
Many thanks to Gerhard Lehnhoff, aufBlog.de for translating Shutter Reloaded to German and for the suggestions, and to Lise, liseweb.fr for the French translation.
Shutter Reloaded is easily integrated with Alex Rabe’s excellent NextGEN Gallery plugin. More info.
Demo:
Some examples of sites that use Shutter: www.synthaetica.com, www.dawnne.com.
Usage:
Image sets are created by using class=”shutterset” to the link pointing to the image. Adding class=”shutterset” also activates the plugin, there’s no need to add both classes, shutterset and shutter. Multiple sets are created by using class=”shutterset_setname”, where setname can be any ascii word and/or a number. If using Lightbox style activation, sets are created by adding a set name in the square brackets. More help is available on the admin page of the plugin.

Download:
If you’re having any problems with Shutter try downloading the current development version. All bug-fixes, improvements and new features will be available there first. It should be stable enough for use, however some quick testing after activation would be a good idea. Please report any new bugs or incompatibilities with other plugins by commenting below.

Frequently Asked Questions
- I have … plugin installed that also uses javascript, will there be any conflicts/incompatibilities?
Since Shutter Reloaded does not use any js libraries, it does not interfere with them. It uses an onload event but has a function to play nice with other scripts that use onload too (from WordPress).
- What will happen if my site visitors have Javascript disabled?
Then none of your links will be changed and will work as usual.
- I have a thumbnail link but it points to a webpage, not to image. Will that affect Shutter Reloaded?
No, Shutter Reloaded looks only for links pointing to an image (with thumbnails or not), and will not change any other link, even if the link has the same css class used for activation.

Are there any plans to introduce keyboard shortcuts?
I’m using NextGen Gallery plugin for WordPress and have the Shutter effects on and working exactly the way I want. However, I’m coming across one problem and not sure where to start.
I have a gallery with over 60 images. You have to scroll down and down to view pictures. When you click an image all the way down, I see the page reset back to the top. Meaning… instead of staying put, it takes you back to the top of the web page (which makes me scroll down and down again). Not sure why, but if anyone has a fix or can lead me in the right direction.
Any help would be great! Thank you guys in advance.
When attempting to view the images on the darkened background using apple tablets, iPads, iPods and iPhones, the images flicker, flash on and off and are basically not viewable.
Hello! I am from Russia and I have long been using your plugin, but I wish that you would help me to translate into Russian words that are on the menu when you open a picture. I use the word, not the pictures, so I really would like you to help me translate the words on the menu when opening pictures)))
