I have a tumblr blog on which I post short webcomic stories. I want that when I post a few pages in a single post, they appear small, but when I click it enlarges and one can browse through the comic.
I would like to have something similar to this.
How can I set it up?
You can achieve this by implementing the Pirobox plugin in your theme: http://www.pirolab.it/pirobox/
You will then need to edit the photoset code in your theme to something like this:
{block:Photoset}
<div class="photo">
{block:Photos}
<a rel="gallery" class="pirobox_gall" href="{PhotoURL-HighRes}"><img src="{PhotoURL-500}" alt="{PhotoAlt}"/></a>
{/block:Photos}
</div>
{/block:Photoset}
And make sure you also adjust the photo-post block so they also open in Pirobox when clicked.
{block:Photo}
<div class="photo">
<a rel="single" class="pirobox" href="{PhotoURL-HighRes}"><img src="{PhotoURL-500}" alt="{PhotoAlt}"/></a>
</div>
<div class="caption">
{Caption}
</div>
{/block:Photo}
Add a link to the Pirobox js file in the "head" of your theme.
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://static.tumblr.com/ajtokgb/DfDluuzg8/pirobox_extended.js"></script>
Add this before the "head" or preferably in the "body" section near your other scripts.
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$().piroBox_ext({
piro_speed : 700,
bg_alpha : 0.5,
piro_scroll : true // pirobox always positioned at the center of the page
});
});
</script>
And you will need to style it with CSS of course. You can also look into the "fancybox plugin" which does something similar.
Now when people click on a photo from one of your posts, an enlarged version of the picture will open up and they will be able to browse through the pictures from that specific post.
Note: This method will only work with photo posts. Every theme is different, you will need to adjust the code to suit your theme.
