AJAX-ZOOM - embedded implementation with custom gallery next to the player. Specified images with "zoomData". Responsive ready.

Ver. 4.2.1+ This example has been totally rewritten. It does not contain indispensable PHP code within the actual page any more. Also all JavaScript has been wrapped into one plugin ($.axZm.thumbGallery) which is controllable over various options passed to it.

In this example several images from different location are passed to the $.axZm.thumbGallery over "zoomData" option. The plugin then generates a grid of thumbs next to AJAX-ZOOM player. When clicked on the thumbs images in the player are switched to the selection.

Switch to next, prev image with API method $.fn.axZm.zoomPrevNext()

To achieve similar result one could also use AJAX-ZOOM native API (without $.axZm.thumbGallery plugin). Most important API function for this is: $.fn.axZm.zoomSwitch; $.axZm.thumbGallery is commented and could be edited by interesting programmers. The plugin is used in several other examples you might want to take a look at1.
