zGallery 2 Plugin

zGallery 2 is a no frills gallery plugin that automatically produces a gallery from a single folder of images that can be displayed in a responsive image lightbox.

Images are titled based on their filename. The file's extension is stripped off and any underscores "_" or dashes "-" are replaced with a space. A special delimiter character "~" gets replaced with "  -  ". The gallery uses the jPages plugin for jQuery to provide client side pagination.

As a bonus when the "zgallery" plugin is installed any link to an image on your website can have that linked image displayed in a lightbox. Any link can also have an enhanced title shown. For displaying a linked image in a lightbox add the class "lightbox" to the image link and to display an enhanced link title add the class "showInfo" to the link.

Note: The image "title" information may not shown on mobile devices.

Warning: A malformed jpg file can crash the plugin. The image can usually be repaired by opening it and re-saving it in Gimp or a similar graphics editor. Occurs very infrequently...
