A lightbox for mobiles

Mediabox CK has beed designed to be a responsive Lightbox with support on Touch devices.

Edit the plugin options to set the way the plugin will detect the responsive mode :

  • Detection based on resolution : give the resolution in px under which the Lightbox will turn into the mobile layout
  • Detection based on the device type : mobile and tablet, or mobile only

You can also choose to deactivate the mobile behavior if you don't want to use it.

 

Responsive layout designed for mobile

When the Mediabox detects that it must behave for mobile, it changes the layout to have the image in full screen with big buttons at the bottom. The buttons are big enough so that you can click on them with your finger.

 

Touch behavior to be used on mobile or tablet

When you are using the Mediabox CK on a touch device, you can use your finger to control and navigate.

  • Swipe left of right to navigate into an album
  • Touch / Tap  the image to zoom it and unzoom
  • Once zoomed, use your finger to move the image to see the details
