    • Excellent work. I love the style and simplicity. It will certainly be used in my future projects.

    • Thank you for a great plugin. I've used PrettyPhoto before, but yours looks much nicier. Can't wait to try it in new project!

    • This looks perfect! We have been using some sort of a hackup of a bunch of different ones; thank you for this (& using the MIT license)!

    • I'm glad its license is MIT ... I've been searching for similar plugin, but never found one with that license!

Objections

  • Demo buried below the docs

    From 1 comment
    • Another UX widget page with its demo buried. I don't care how sweet and lightweight your widget is if it doesn't do what I'm looking for, so put the demo up front!! At least this…

  • Gallery mode close bug with jQuery and Bootstrap

    From 2 comments
    • So I'm trying to integrate this with my site, and when I enabled gallery mode, I can no longer click to close, or hit the ESC key. Chrome's console seems to show a Uncaught…

    • I'm still trying to isolate it, but it seems that in gallery mode, when mfpClose is fired, it gets into a infinite loop, which causes the stack to overflow, and ultimately cause…

  • iOS page scrolls behind tall popups

    From 1 comment
    • I've tried the demos on my iPhone: my only gripe is that when a pop-in is taller than the screen and that I scroll down/up, the whole page scrolls down/up. Is there any way to…

  • YouTube video opens in native player on iOS

    From 1 comment
    • This is awesome, but watching the Youtube video is a little problematic on iOS. Users may get lost when you throw them over to the native player. Is there anyway to make it popup…

Requests

  • Touch navigation for galleries

    From 1 comment
    • Very nice. One feature request: add touch navigation (touch and drag like in RoyalSlider) for galleries. Add this and it will probably be my goto lightbox.

  • Ajax loading with nested links in same popup

    From 1 comment
    • Is there an easy way to load via ajax, and then make it such that additional links in that loaded content will also have their content loaded in that same popup? Sort of a little…

    • Is it possible to use this as a dialog box/modal without the image features?

Questions

  • Why is it better than other popup plugins

    From 1 comment
    • This looks really great! Nice work! Do you have a breakdown of why this is better than the other million plugins out there? And I don't mean that in a rude way, either. I just…

  • Does it work with AngularJS jQuery lite

    • great project! Does it work with AngularJS's JQuery lite?

Alternatives named

  • FancyBox

    From 1 comment
    • I like this. I'm using a lot of FancyBox at the moment, but the ability to resize via CSS sounds like a killer feature. And, let's just pretend that the Bootstrap modal doesn't…
