This module implements the Highslide JS for Drupal 7.x

Module Features:

This module implements Highslide JS (free for non commercial use), media and
gallery viewer written in JavaScript. See http://highslide.com

Some of the features are:

  • Quick and elegant looking.
  • No plugins like Flash or Java required.
  • Popup blockers are no problem. The content opens within the active browser window..
  • Single click. After opening the image or HTML popup, the user can scroll further down or leave the page without closing it.
  • Lots of configuration options and scalability without compromizing on simplicity. A component system lets you strip away unused features down to a filesize of 10kB.
  • Compatibility and safe degrading. If the user has disabled JavaScript or is using an old browser, the browser redirects directly to the image itself or to a given HTML page.

For example, you can create gallery of images that automatically starts.

It is multilingual: Highslide help messages will be displayed in the site's language (if available in highslide, actually there is 34 languages implemented)

There are different ways of using it:
You can enable highslide to display the images of every link pointing to an
image.
You can use it with the image module (present in the core)
You can activate it only on selected images by placing a class="highslide" in
in the anchor's link.
You can also bypass every setting and directly code the highslide directives
in the HTML code (but it this case you shouldn't have a problem to load directly highslide ;-) )

Highslide JS provides so many different settings and lay-out that it was
almost impossible to implement all of them. But to allow you to do it you can
copy/paste the customized settings from the highslide editor into the module.

This module does not (yet?) implement the html popup. This could be a further development.
