Shutter and Lightbox
Posted by Pavan Chander | Filed under Web
The last 4 hours of my life were spent integrating Shutter into the NextGEN gallery, and comparing the different features between Shutter, Lightbox, and Thickbox
Pain in the ass I tell you, not the actual plugin or coding part. But the constant need to clear the cache, edit posts, and refresh like crazy..drove me crazy. And then to top it off each browser has its own quirks which have to get sorted out.
In the end I now have my images being served with Shutter, found it to be the fastest loader and it also had a nice feature to downsize large images on the fly to fit the users browser.

Yay.
One downside is that because I’m not using the Thickbox plugin, NextGEN won’t take advantage of the JQuery navigation.
