The plugin provides a picture gallery feature, a picture zoom feature, a picture book feature, a lightbox style display, and a slider/carousel feature, which can be easily added to products or fragments in place of the simple picture provided by the Actinic V8 or V9 software.

The gallery feature can be used on brochure pages where it is limited to a maximum of twenty images {you can expand this yourself if you modify the code and add more variables}, or on single product pages. Here it uses the Actinic attribute and choices to determine the number of images, one image per choice so you can easily control the number of images. Each image has an associated text that can be displayed.

There is a wide range of choices of the effect used to change the image, from fade, and zoom, to curtain or scroll which can be selected for each product display to suit the web site or product. In the example here all the effects are used with a random choice each time the image changes to display the effects that are available, normally a single effect would be used from the many available.

As an additional service we can install the plugin for you to your site, just provide us with your snapshot, using the file transfer page, choose the Custom Installation option and we will install the navigation for you .

For the technically minded this plugin is based on a number of java script functions that use the jquery library of javascript code thus it is very efficient and small in size.

Plugins are designed to simplify adding special techniques to Actinic V8 and V9. This graphic plugin provides for a number of graphical effects, some very similar to facilities that usually require the Adobe flash player, but using javascript. This dramatically reduces the size of the web page more so because the scripts are based on the highly optimised jquery library that enables extremely small jave scripts to be produced. The plugin includes picture gallery feature, a picture zoom feature, a picture book feature, a carousel feature and finally a lightbox style display. These features can be added to any product in place of the simple picture provided by the Actinic standard software.
