AJAX-ZOOM demo

Modules / plugins

"Modules / plugins / extensions" are not needed to use AJAX-ZOOM. However these wonderful modules will facilitate and speed up the integration of AJAX-ZOOM into various established CMS or e-commerce / shopping cart systems. If all conditions are met, then you will have AJAX-ZOOM running in your shop within two minutes. The modules can be installed and configured with just a few clicks without writing a single line of code.

Available are modules for Magento, Prestashop, WooCommerce (WordPress), Opencart, Shopware und Oxid (the last two are commonly used in German speaking countries).

About AJAX-ZOOM

AJAX-ZOOM is a powerful and universally applicable image zoom & pan software with 360° degree / 3D object rotation functions, mouseover zoom extension and other extensions like diverse image galleries. It has all features to be implemented in responsive and non responsive layouts.

AJAX-ZOOM is developed in Germany and was first released in the year 2010. From then until now it has been continuously improved, enhanced and supported. AJAX-ZOOM is based on jQuery (JavaScript) and PHP.

With this fully-featured solution, it is possible to present even ultra-high-resolution photos online in best quality. Via the approx. 400 optional parameters and CSS, AJAX-ZOOM is very flexibly configurable and re-skinable. All controls can be individually disabled and/or changed in their appearance. Seamless integration into any web page is thus guaranteed.

All you need is a LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP) web server. However AJAX-ZOOM can be also implemented in ASP.NET / IIS web applications without PHP via "Phalanger". For optimal quality and speed, AJAX-ZOOM offers full ImageMagick® support, although LibGD integrated into PHP is generally sufficient. JPG, TIF, PNG, BMP, GIF and PSD image types are supported (TIF & PSD only with "Imagemagick").

Multi-resolution

AJAX-ZOOM uses image tiling, multi-resolution technology. It dynamically loads only requested parts of the high-resolution image depending on the zoom level / viewport. Just as you can see it in Google Maps application when zooming, the view is visibly sharpened.

AJAX-ZOOM can process image tiling "on-the-fly" or it can batch convert thousands of images with just a couple of steps. A PHP based Script is provided for batch processing. This means, that AJAX-ZOOM can be easily integrated into already productive websites within shortest possible time. The high-resolution source images are not changed.

AJAX-ZOOM can also be set by certain settings to protect the source image, to the extent that AJAX-ZOOM is suitable for commercial image providers.

As an example you can set and adjust options to instantly watermark image tiles and all other cached images. Since original, big sized image, never loads into browser cache the whole parent directory which contains high resolution images can be protected e.g. with htaccess from being accessed over internet.

Compatibility

AJAX-ZOOM works in all modern browsers but is also able to work in legacy IE 7 and IE 8 for the most features. On mobile touch devices AJAX-ZOOM supports pinch-zoom, double tap and two finger pan. On Windows devices, which have a mouse control and touchscreen, AJAX-ZOOM works great as well.

Needless to say, AJAX-ZOOM does not need any browser extensions like Flash, Java or Silverlight. Only JavaScript must be enabled in the browser. JavaScript is enabled by default in standard configurations for all browsers and consumer devices, achieving near universal viewing.

API, callbacks, extensions

AJAX-ZOOM has an extensive library with API functions, callbacks or hooks, as well as some extensions. With the API functions and callbacks you can create sophisticated web applications without modifying the actual AJAX-ZOOM code. Our team can tailor customized templates (blueprints) to streamline your project. If necessary AJAX-ZOOM functionality will be extended.

Extensions include, for example, the hotspot editor, mouseover zoom or various gallery scripts. These extensions extensively make use of AJAX-ZOOM API functions or callbacks and are structurally very similar to any jQuery plugin, which is controlled by options.

An extension of such a simple extension could be found in example21.php. In this extension images are instantly read from different directories and displayed in a thumbnail view gallery. The user can switch between the directories. When you click on a thumbnail, the image will open in the AJAX-ZOOM player.

In the download package you will also find fairly complex extensions. Even though it is very special, example34.php could serve as a good example. In this example several images of an old newspaper are loaded into canvas with a gallery. Previously, they were subject to an OCR scan, with the position and dimensions of each word stored in XML files. Users can search for a word using autosuggest field and if available, a list of pages and search results is output below the field. When the user clicks on a search result, the corresponding page is switched and the word found is visually marked by a rectangular overlay. This is done by AJAX-ZOOM hotspot API, as well as simultaneous zoom to the selected hotspot.

Integration example

There are really many ways to integrate AJAX-ZOOM into your website. The easiest way to get to know about this is to follow the examples. There is, of course, no best way, because it depends on your requirements, the way AJAX-ZOOM should look and other factors. The following example represents therefore one of many possible solutions:


	<!-- Put the placeholder DIV where ever in the <body> -->
	<div id="test">This id a placeholder DIV</div>
	<script type="text/javascript">
	// Create new object
	var ajaxZoom = {}; 

	// Define the path to the axZm folder
	ajaxZoom.path = "/axZm/"; 

	// Define your custom parameter query string
	ajaxZoom.parameter = "zoomData=/pic/zoom/fashion/some_image.jpg|/bilder/ordner1/test.png&example=8"; 

	// The ID of the element where ajax-zoom has to be inserted into
	ajaxZoom.divID = "test";
	</script>

	<!-- Include the loader file -->
	<script type="text/javascript" src="/axZm/jquery.axZm.loader.js"></script>

The above code can be examined in example9.php. It loads a simple gallery with horizontal slider but you could also load a 360 / 3D by changing ajaxZoom.parameter to e.g. ajaxZoom.parameter = "3dDir=/pic/zoom3d/Uvex_Occhiali&example=17" where "3dDir" paramter is the path to the folder with 360 images and "example" is the parameter with defines configuration set loaded for the player. You can easily extend configuration sets or change existing ones in /axZm/zoomConfigCustom.inc.php;

Iframes, however, are the simplest way to handle many players with e.g. rotatable product views or high-resolution images with zoom at the same time. The AJAX-ZOOM Player automatically adjusts itself to the responsive iframe and can even be brought to full screen view by users, which also works in IOS Safari (iPad, iPhone). In example13.php you can see some examples of an iFrame integration.

Future versions

As we are constantly working to improve the software, your wishes, objections and suggestions are greatly appreciated. Below are some thoughts of what should be done.

Integration in various e-commerce platforms and CMS - in progress.
Easy CDN support probably starting from Amazon S3.
Integration with Adobe scene7 image server.

Limitations

Currently only one instance per page is possible. Still there are various ways to present infinite number of players on a page, e.g. as in this example. You could also dynamically load different content into one player e.g. as in this example.
Licensed version will only function under the registered domain name(s). The demo/free version can be tested and developed on localhost. For an additional charge the unlimited version can be purchased to be used on intranet. Please contact the support for more information.

License

The license price is primarily based on the number of different images that are displayed on a domain in AJAX-ZOOM Player. Full license agreement can be found in the download area. Of course the demo (Light) version can be downloaded and tested in your environment free of charge.

If necessary, we can issue a time-limited license free of charge, whereby AJAX-ZOOM and the modules / plugins should work with few restrictions without entering the license data. If something does not work as expected, do not hesitate to contact us.

The prices are one time payment.

* All prices are excluding VAT; in the EU (European Union) this offer exclusively addresses professional customers which have a valid VAT-ID; this does not affect customers from outside of the European Union; for customers located in Germany 19% German VAT will be added (zuzüglich 19% MwSt); If you are from an EU country and do not have a valid VAT-ID yet, then please ask your web development company which has a valid VAT-ID to purchase AJAX-ZOOM for you; if for some reason this is not possible, then please contact AJAX-ZOOM support; prices are subject to change without notice.

Number images info: if you have an online shop with 1.200 products and on average three product images, You will need a license which can handle up to 3.600 images - in this case the "Business" license.

For 360° rotate / spin tool each frame counts as one image. If you have 250 product spins with 36 frames each You would need a "Corporate" license (9.000 images).

For upgrades between license types see "Version Updates and Upgrades" in the license agreement. Please find the license agreement and other additional information in the download section.

Multistore (Master & Slave) with different domain names: the license price for an additional domain is 30% of the main license price, but not less than the regular price of the "Business" license. To receive an offer / invoice please contact.

ASP.NET / PHP - if you are using one of the modules like AJAX-ZOOM for Magento, Prestashop, Shopware, WooCommerce and the like or integrate AJAX-ZOOM manually into a LAMP system (Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP), NGINX / PHP [...] you certainly need PHP license! ASP.NET is for IIS (Internet Information Services / Server) and other Microsoft products without native PHP installation.

@ag: yes, you can download AJAX-ZOOM and test the hotspots with your own spin images.

ag 2016-09-20 11:00:42

Want to know more about hotspot integration. will free version file works ? wanted to test using difrent images in place of cycle.

Vadim Jacobi 2016-04-22 19:17:48

Hello Andrew. I am not sure what you are going to do. Is it about "3D" with multilevel, meaning that you will have more than just one row, like this one? - http://www.ajax-zoom.com/examples/example28.php

If so, how do you get 5000 images? This would mean that you have also about 70 vertical rows which is way too much I would say. The highest we have is http://www.ajax-zoom.com/examples/example15_vr9.php with 810 images, but it is more an example of what is possible and not how one should do it :-)

Andrew 2016-04-22 19:06:41

Hi Vadim, I'm thinking of using Ajax-Zoom for a full X-Y-Z-360 image of about 3000 pixels per frame. I need it to be smooth so would use at least 72 frames per rotation. How would Ajax Zoom cope with loading >5000 hi-res images? Would it simply load the relevant tile from the image pyramid?

Many thanks,

Andrew

Maniraj 2015-01-13 07:18:56

Really zoom over function will very nice.

Vadim Jacobi 2014-08-29 20:32:24

Enzo: there are quite many options to work with hotspots and ofcourse you can use different images, sizes, actions and so on. If you could send me some more detailed draft or maybe even a mockup of what you will be developing, then I could tell you if this is possible with AJAX-ZOOM.

Enzo 2014-08-29 20:07:25

Hello, can I have more options to select on hotspot, like colors or other? My idea is to integrate ajax -zoom into my website (asp.net) for configuring bikes(frames, forks, wheel, etc).
Thank you

Vadim Jacobi 2014-06-18 19:22:18

Hello Hans, stitching is not provided. This is a task of desktop software and there is plenty of it on the web. Zooming to certain coordinates is possible with the API zoomTo (please check the documentation). It is possible to define zoom level with x1, y1 coordinates or x1, y1, x2, y2 coordinates and some other parameters. Next version 4.1.9 will even provide an online utility to ease the setup of defining these values.

Hans 2014-06-18 18:59:55

1) Do you provide stitching of multiple (40 - 50) high res pictures?

2) Then, do you provide zoom at a certain (X,Y) location?

Marsh Jaison 2014-05-27 11:47:06

hi can we do a image rotate

Vadim Jacobi 2014-03-21 15:49:37

Hello Mark! Interesting question. I would say more yes than no. Depending on the layout and functionality of your application a different API set could be used. I would suggest that you contact us directly with more detailed information, thanks.

mwillard 2014-03-20 18:17:01

I am curious if the solution has image draping option. Thanks.
Mark

Kobayashi Online 2014-01-28 17:14:54

We could not be more thrilled with the excellent service and level of commitment demonstrated by Vadim. He provided us with a 3D plugin for a site we were developing, groundradar.com. He even went in so far as to Skype us when we needed technical support. Everyone at Kobayashi would like to give Vadim a big, warm thank you!

Vadim Jacobi 2013-10-16 10:21:32

Max: you might want to take a look at this API: http://www.ajax-zoom.com/index.php?cid=docs#api_zoomSwitchQuick

There is also an option to enable this switching for internal built galleries: http://www.ajax-zoom.com/index.php?cid=docs#gallerySwitchQuick

Max 2013-10-16 04:56:14

It would be great if you had the before-after function. Two photos at the same dimensions and the possibility to switch from one to another while keeping the same position and zoom from the one before - this way all the details of the after image would be more relevant. Let me know if you have this feature and I've missed it.
Thank you and congratulations for a great work!

newwebsitethemes 2013-08-26 08:13:12

Very useful and great zooming effect using jquery and css coding, absolutely design for product gallery, thank you for posting this lists.

Carsten 2013-08-23 20:23:28

We are really looking forward to build it into our Shop System

safyhost 2013-03-28 08:47:42

really like the zoom option is just amazing..thanks..:)

Vadim Jacobi 2013-02-18 22:31:38

Hi People. Thanks for all your suggestions and bug reports. We finally released Ver. 4.0 with clickable hotspot support. Take a look at http://www.ajax-zoom.com/examples/example33.php There is an other example which is worth to take a look at: http://www.ajax-zoom.com/examples/example32.php If you have any other suggestions and remarks, do not hesitate to drop us you thoughts.

Vadim Jacobi 2012-09-13 22:01:05

To all of You who was asking about clickable / mouseover etc. hotspots: the next AJAX-ZOOM version 4.0 will definitely support hotspots! At 2D, 360 and 3D modes, at all zoom levels and at fullscreen mode. Basically it is already working on our prototype, we just need to write an API for handling it (the easy but intriguing part). Hopefully this will be the last new feature among many, many others in version 4.0 so we will be able to present it to You shortly.

vik 2012-08-09 07:24:20

how to save the file? Can it be used with java B/e

Subbu Vadali 2012-07-20 20:35:57

We are looking at this tool to integrate with one of our products and certainly require some customization. A couple of such things are: adding annotations, on demand highlighting of text inside the images etc.. Can you please give me details on what would it cost to add these customizations? We are looking at an unlimited .NET version.

Gerhard 2012-05-21 10:33:08

Hey guys.

Great plugin, but is it possible to integrate it in to a site that does not use PHP or ASP.NET?

We're looking at incorporating this in to a few of our e-commerce sites.

Vadim Jacobi 2012-05-17 21:16:17

for asp.net please use phalanger. see the docs for more info. thanks

mbw 2012-05-14 17:57:30

If I install this on php server can I just call the gallery from an ASP.net server? and will it work? Thanks.

chep phim 2012-03-29 09:55:26

Very useful for me, its exactly what i need to protect images from my site. Thanks a lot. Please keep it up!

Vadim Jacobi 2012-01-25 23:11:30

Ed: I do not know if you have seen this example: http://www.ajax-zoom.com/examples/example10.php Maybe this is something for you. Hotspots might be available in one of the next versions...

Ed 2012-01-25 16:53:05

I am looking for something that will zoom into a site engineers drawing on the web, that has hot spots or links in various locations to show photos or info, perhaps in a popup or another page.

Can this software cope with these requests ?

Many thanks

Marcus Heisler 2012-01-22 15:03:54

Hi.

Could Ajax zoom be used to create 3D interactive data for insertion into ibooks2 books? I'm looking for a way to create 3D interactive objects generated from images for ibooks2. As I understand it (and I'm not a programmer but a biologist) the 3D object format for ibooks2 is based on object models (i.e meshes?). I would like to use photographs rather than an artificially generated mesh to create this kind of interactive object. Any suggestions would be very appreciated.

Life For Rent 2012-01-12 06:49:39

really like the zoom option is just amazing..thanks..:)

Vadim Jacobi 2012-01-09 12:08:12

Wil: yes, it is possible to customize the player and turn off certain features. See examples and the docs. If you will have specific questions do not hesitate to contact...

Wil 2012-01-09 03:30:08

Hi, Is it possible to customize the skin of this plugin and turn off certain features? Just want to know before we buy. Thanks!

Spark 2011-11-28 14:11:35

Interesting post, after I was only looking for a simple Jquery lightbox-image enlarging script, I found this more sophisticated one.

I appreciate it!

Vadim Jacobi 2011-11-23 15:56:29

For download the entire image please see here: http://www.ajax-zoom.com/index.php?cid=docs#Download

If you want to download a croped image, see this example with the callbacks: http://www.ajax-zoom.com/examples/example14.php There you will find all needed parameters to process / crop the original image with your custom PHP script.

krupa 2011-11-23 13:09:40

Is it possible to allow image saving or print?

Krupa patel 2011-11-23 10:42:45

Hi Vadim,

I want to know that is it possible that crop the image which is zoom using ajax zoom .

My Intension is to crop, rotate, zoom and move and then save it
to mysql data table.

Hope you will reply soon.

Spencer 2011-11-17 18:05:06

Is it possible to allow image saving or print?

Paul Fijma 2011-10-11 17:26:44

I have succesfully added the ajax-zoom to my website and my gamers love it.
haven't found out yet (if possible) how to add my ajax-zoom in such a way that it can be used inside/embedded in a forum, but my players love the new way of displaying the maps!
it is the best upgrade for my website in a long time!

Vadim Jacobi 2011-09-30 00:22:02

ASP.NET version implemented with Phalanger (64 bit) will be available soon.

Hassan Abbas 2011-08-05 00:02:40

I have successfully implemented this control in ASP.NET using Phalanger. I am really happy with its performance so far.

Thank you.

Vadim Jacobi 2011-07-28 12:25:56

Chris: it turns out that this is one of the most requested features at the moment. An other words we have decided to implement it. Supposably there will be only the possibility to add hotspots to non zoomed image at first. Then this functionality will be extended. To the timetable: we are working on accelerating AJAX-ZOOM on mobile devices now. On mobile Safari (iPad) this is already reached. The new version will be released in the next few days. After some optimizations like gesture zoom we would like to start with hotspots, also for 360 degree spin. I can not tell you exactly when it will be ready, hopefully soon, as many customers waiting for it :-)

Chris 2011-07-27 22:06:12

Any update on the "hotspots" feature? I am really looking forward to implementing it in my next project.

Joshua 2011-07-11 22:25:06

Hello. I'd just like to first say that from what I've seen so far ajax-zoom is a wonderful tool. Thank you for all your hard work!

I'm wondering if the ajax-zoom software is usable for a project I'm working on. I see that I can load the zoom-objects from a mysql database, but what I'm really looking to do is to load the filenames of the zoomtiles from a database. I already have a database I'm working with, I'm just curious if that's within the scope of what the ajax-zoom software will allow me to modify.

Thanks,
Joshua

Vadim Jacobi 2011-06-10 17:07:33

Eshan: yes, this is certainly possible as there are also ways to prevent downloading the original image intentionally. Take a look at the API section in the docs. There you will find all the information needed.

eshan 2011-06-09 15:42:47

Great job on this, Vadim. Can we add buttons to the viewer that allow people to download the full-size image as well as print the current view? We have a subscription photo product where we want to allow those actions. Thanks in advance!

Vadim Jacobi 2011-05-13 09:51:25

Jon Aston: see the watermark options in the docs: http://www.ajax-zoom.com/index.php?cid=docs#watermark

Jon 2011-05-13 02:38:01

hi vadim, i also need to know how to "disable zooming" when the image is clicked

and also how to stop the image from centering when the image is clicked.

thanks

jon aston 2011-05-13 02:19:02

hi vadim your comments below

where is the annotation feature please?

------------------------
Hi Knacky, an annotation feature is already implemented. You can annotate in multimple places with a background and font(s) of your choice (ttf). Please check the documentation :-)

Vadim Jacobi 2011-05-12 20:33:10

Tim: we continiosly work on AJAX-ZOOM and hotspots are at very high order on the to do list. However I can't tell you anything about the release date. What I can tell you is that AJAX-ZOOM will never display any flash content. URL links and HTML – I guess this is the job of a browser, not a player :-)

Tim 2011-05-12 15:16:38

Ay idea how far in the future the hotspots will be added? The project I am working on is reasonably urgent so if could get a date that would be great.

Also will the hotspots be able to: display swf, images, url links, video, html?

Thanks again

Vadim Jacobi 2011-05-12 13:09:05

Tim: hotspots should be developed in the future. As of the list taking the user to a particular portion of the image – yes, this is possible, see this example: http://www.ajax-zoom.com/examples/example10.php

tim 2011-05-12 13:01:12

Also, would it be possible to have a navigation side bar listing the hotspots that when clicked on, would take you directly to it.

For example, I have a map with a church on it. As well as the hotspot on the image (map) the church would also be clickable for the navigation side bar, acting like a shortcut.

That make sense?

Thanks

Tim 2011-05-12 12:39:19

Could hotspots be added to the images? I'm thinking of displaying maps with hotspots showing points of interest.

Thanks

Vadim Jacobi 2011-05-10 11:48:11

Texastaurus: there are several ways to make it. One way is to use the internally built in buttons - see galleryNavi option in the docs, or use your own buttons or whatever with the method jQuery.fn.axZm.zoomPrevNext(), can be seen in this example http://www.ajax-zoom.com/examples/example7.php and it is also described in the docs.

texastaurus 2011-05-09 22:37:14

I'm thinking of using this for a magazine...anyway that I can add previous and next buttons in the viewer?

Vadim Jacobi 2011-04-30 13:03:12

Steve: in file /axZm/zoomObjects.inc.php look for $pic_list_data[$k]['thumbDescr']

Steve 2011-04-29 17:57:12

Is it possible to replace the image-size description within the galleries with a filename or customized description?

tim 2011-04-13 18:51:36

Sorry, please ignore that :D

I've been looking at various different programs like yours today and have got myself a little mixed up!

/tim 2011-04-13 18:48:08

Any plans for a mac version?

Thanks

Vadim Jacobi 2011-03-31 12:13:31

AJAX-ZOOM has been testet in IE6 with IETester and under Win XP / 2000. Seems to work just fine everywhere. If you are using IETester consider making an update.

HoangLx 2011-03-31 08:09:32

can't work IE6

arsal 2011-03-02 06:28:51

i like the ajax zoom plugin that works great and the speciality is that the pixcel of the image is not breaking . i"ll try to embed this plugin in my site .GREAT WORK

Vadim Jacobi 2011-02-12 01:12:26

Erik: check for iframe in sourcecode of this blog entry:
http://www.xtc-load.de/2010/08/ajax-zoom-fur-xtcommerce/

Erik Madsen Greve 2011-02-11 23:04:06

Hi, Nice work!
I like the solution with iframe. Do you have a demo I can put into my iframe to show to my boss until I hopefully get him convinced to buy this beautiful toy :o)

Vadim Jacobi 2011-01-09 20:37:03

Richard: hotspots are not implemented at the moment, but planed for one of the nearby updates…

Richard 2011-01-07 20:57:04

hello

is it possible to have links in the images, specifically referring to the new spin feature. i am aiming to create a 3d graphic that people can rotate and zoom into and then select the section that they wish to view in more detail.

Beben Koben 2011-01-07 19:18:14

so smooth and so elegant

Vadim Jacobi 2011-01-03 02:51:04

Wimpy: yes, this is possible. One way would be to set this option dynamically - http://www.ajax-zoom.com/index.php?cid=docs#vWtrmrk

The other way to append a div with the PNG image mask manually, see in this example the way custom toolbar is appended: http://www.ajax-zoom.com/examples/example16.php

Either way - you can get the cropping coordinates with jQuery.axZm.lastZoom object containing all you need to crop and print the original image with your mask on it. For more info take a look at API section in docs.

Wimpy 2011-01-02 18:57:29

Is it possible to customize the viewport with user defined overlay mask on top of the ajax-zoomed image? Let's say heart shaped mask for Valentine's day special theme.

Vadim Jacobi 2010-12-22 12:14:03

Brent: there is always a probability of "force majeure" or other exceptional circumstances. We can not quarantine these exceptional circumstances don't occur. Actually no one can.

Brent 2010-12-21 14:02:14

I know your commercial license says you can but not obliged to release updates, under what circumstances would you not release updates to existing license holders?

Vadim Jacobi 2010-11-17 19:05:04

The commercial license is for the lifetime.

Sean 2010-11-17 13:13:14

Is the license per site, for the lifetime or per year??

shxxxxz扬 2010-11-09 03:08:47

ccccccccccool

Vj 2010-10-16 07:12:32

Will this work with ASP.NET, does it need to be wrapped with wisejs or something else before use as a simple div?

Will you let me pan to a specific location on an image, i.e. show a small part of the original image like a map

Thanks for your support!

Vadim Jacobi 2010-09-22 14:58:39

There is no plugin or any instructions for Joomla right now, but of course this is possible. Take a look at the examples to see some general ways of integration. An example with hotspots should be available soon…

Carlos Rabaça 2010-09-21 07:21:27

Is it possible to integrate it with Joomla and set hotspots on regions of an image such that clicking on it we open an article or a text box?

Rick Hayes 2010-09-12 17:47:30

WOW! Who did your navigation bar? I would love to have the code for that.

Vadim Jacobi 2010-08-21 22:27:57

Hi Phil, thanks a lot! I have sent you a PM to your email address.

Phil E 2010-08-21 21:16:08

Under 5 minutes to install and embed into my current Drupal 6 project.

I'm Impressed!

If possible, could you forward information or a guide on integration into other CMS systems, I am a developer of custom Drupal modules and would like to create a module to automatically integrateAjax Zoom in to all my forthcoming projects.

max 2010-08-16 08:43:32

Good Job.

vinupdlm 2010-08-15 21:52:22

very usefull script

Vadim Jacobi 2010-07-02 01:33:12

Brightness & contrast UI? Hmm, server side no problem with ImageMagick. Life somewhat problematic concerning Internet Explorer, as always. There is a library called pixastic, which does those kinds of effects. Which ones are suitable for your purpose? Use the support form to write a pm.

Robert Anderson 2010-07-01 18:33:16

You should really add contrast and brightness controls! The vast majority of image scripts focus only on zooming, however relevant image details, like those found in a medical x-ray, are best explored/revealed with UI contrast and brightness controls - in addition to zooming. Any ideas?

Vadim Jacobi 2010-06-30 12:35:19

Since now we got a pretty stable version of AJAX-ZOOM there are plans to gradually release several extensions or at least integration guides for several CMS and webshops. Joomla is also on the todo list. As of porting to other development environments like .net it needs much more time, so unfortunately I can't tell if and when it will happen.

Law 2010-06-30 04:12:50

Will there ever be an extension/plugin for Joomla 1.5x?
If so... that would be extremely nice and a lot of people will use it.

Derek Klingman 2010-06-25 21:22:24

I agree with other that it'd be nice it was available for other development environments. We are a .net development shop and this would make a great tool to have.

Fakeyede Mobolaji 2010-06-23 09:07:09

God, This is wonderful. I think you really really really need to port this to ASP.NET. If u don't use ASP.NET, please learn to. Just amazing. I will have to make do with the PHP implementation for now. I hope i don't need to be a PHP guru to do this. Thumbs up.

Vadim Jacobi 2010-06-22 15:12:47

All constrains result from the limitation of the hardware to process very large images – RAM, processor power and disc space. See documentation for some additional info and benchmarks. Except the free demo version there are no limitations regarding the software itself.

Allison 2010-06-19 22:02:37

Are there any limitations on image size?

Vadim Jacobi 2010-06-16 20:16:57

In the current state AJAX-ZOOM relies on PHP and at there are no urgent plans to make any Java, .net or other mods of the script. There are so many additional features we want to implement that it makes no sense to port AJAX-ZOOM to a different programming language right now. But as one of the customers has done You could also place AJAX-ZOOM in an iframe from a source supporting PHP. May be this is an adequate solution for You as well. PS: Germany – Australia was the best match so far!?

John 2010-06-16 11:33:33

Can I use these components in Java based Applications??

Vadim Jacobi 2010-06-15 12:05:55

There are no build in options allowing you to place image maps or other html overlays over the "big image". This might be possible in the future releases. Thanks.

JJPhoenix 2010-06-14 12:22:55

Moin.
Is it possible to use image maps (e.g. useMap="#map_info") on the big image?

Vadim Jacobi 2010-06-12 00:07:25

Yes, AJAX-ZOOM can be displayed inside a lightbox, see the examples... Concerning the "ajax-zoom" logo displayed and the disability to zoom/pan - this has to do with the nature of AJAX-ZOOM interacting with the server. Theoretically there are some ways to avoid this, at least it will be considered to remove this issue optionally, as there are certainly some cons doing this. But thanks for Your feedback, indeed we have already thought about it :-) By the way: You can remove the logo or replace it with whatever you want. Also You can adjust the time when AJAX-ZOOM interacts with the server after the last user action, an other words the time when this logo is shown.

dr paul 2010-06-11 18:04:21

will it run inside a lightbox?

Marcus Tucker 2010-06-11 16:02:28

Very cool, my only criticism is that it's very annoying that you can't pan/zoom while the animated "ajax-zoom" logo is displayed, which kept appearing

Eugene Koekemoer 2010-06-08 19:05:59

Well done! Exactly what I was looking for! Thanx :D

Asshurim Larita 2010-06-03 09:42:04

Ive been using JQuery for weeks.. its easy to used... coz im fun of exploring ajax.. now i will try some plugins

Henrik 2010-05-29 21:39:10

Will this work on eg. Iphones and other HTMl compatible mobile browsers?

Moiz 2010-05-29 10:23:20

Nice plugin!!

Is it free to use in open source project?
Thanks!

Vadim Jacobi 2010-05-22 23:52:16

You can not save the image with right click in AJAX-ZOOM. Even though one could do it, there are plenty of options like watermarking to prevent this. Also the larger original image never loads into cache and the zoomed images can also be watermarked. In fact AJAX-ZOOM is all about the prevention of stealing images online :-) Disabling right click is surely not enough.

leicu 2010-05-22 20:32:15

Does this have a plugin or sometype of support that disables right clicking, clip board, or print screen options on Internet Explorer, Opera, and Mozilla Firefox? The biggest problem is having images stolen online.

Bill 2010-05-21 00:33:08

Excellent.....What a brilliant plugin!!!

DrPhill 2010-05-20 11:48:58

Hi, gr8 app! I'm trying to integrate it into an old (1.0) Joomla cms site for a friend - can you givve me any hints for doing this without a development testbed?

mantab.. sekali gan...
very.. very.. wonderfull.. :D

Sven 2010-05-18 03:45:26

Love your plugin, it is amazing!!!

Vadim Jacobi 2010-05-17 14:04:47

Concerning the two previous questions: currently there are no options or any other easy way to display overlays above the zoom image. I will put this issue on the task list. Many thanks for your ideas!

Kerry 2010-05-12 09:07:06

Is it possible to use this technology with HTML comment? Similar to google maps where you can scroll around and zoom in and out?

John Chambers 2010-05-12 01:14:16

Are there plans for allowing the developer to add clickable icons on top of the image?

Boss 2010-05-06 10:17:00

Interesting

Vadim Jacobi 2010-05-05 00:09:03

Question: will it works with ASP.net website?
Answer: Take a look at this projects website: php-compiler.net and tell me if it worked. Thank you.

Sandeep Motupalli 2010-04-30 23:00:47

I really love the annotation feature. will it works with ASP.net website?

Vadim Jacobi 2010-04-27 12:25:46

看起来不错，例子下载的时候不方便 - very interesting point :-)

coolion 2010-04-27 03:19:06

看起来不错，例子下载的时候不方便

Vadim Jacobi 2010-04-23 16:17:44

The download package has been updated. It now works with PHP 5.3.x. The only updated file is axZm.class.php

Vadim Jacobi 2010-04-14 19:27:46

Ok, now we could reproduce the failure described by Manish Sharma above. Apparently, if someone wildly hits the reload button, the code inside $(window).load event is triggered before the window is actually reloaded. This has nothing to do with AJAX-ZOOM itself and since we believe, that this is a pretty uncommon behavior for a user, there is no need to change anything in AJAX-ZOOM on default. However, if you expect you users to do so, you can delay the execution of $.fn.axZm() method inside $(window).load event, e.g.
$(window).load(function(){setTimeout(function(){$.fn.axZm();}, 1000);});
In case you use drawZoomJsLoad class method you need to adjust it accordingly in axZmH.class.php

Vadim Jacobi 2010-04-14 17:15:34

Tank you for your comment. Unfortunately we could not reproduce the problem you described. Would you mind to provide us with a link of your installation? Also please tell us which browser exactly causes this failure. If there should be a problem with AJAX-ZOOM we will certainly be able to fix it. Does someone out there experience the problem described by Manish Sharma too?

Manish Sharma 2010-04-14 16:47:37

Hi,
I've downloaded and tried to use ajax-zoom plugin using JQuery. It works well , except for condition when I refresh my page twice in a very short interval, not allowing my first refresh to complete loading the page. In this case your plugins stuck and hangs the browser. This problem comes every time I double refresh my page. I was planning to buy your product for commercial use, but after seeing this problem , I've taken a step back. I suggest you guys to look into this problem and resolve it because what you have made is really good tool.

:)

Vadim Jacobi 2010-04-08 13:43:31

Question: can this tool be used with ASP.net website?
Answer: We did not try it yet, but take a look at this projects website: php-compiler.net Did it help?

Sanjith J Pillai 2010-04-08 08:40:18

Can this tool be used with ASP.net website? If yes, please let me know if any samples, documents etc are available for such implementations.

Dallas 2010-04-06 04:46:15

Very nice script

Vadim Jacobi 2010-04-06 02:15:50

Hi Knacky, an annotation feature is already implemented. You can annotate in multimple places with a background and font(s) of your choice (ttf). Please check the documentation :-)

Anthony 2010-04-05 18:34:08

Nice work this is great...

Knacky 2010-04-05 16:44:57

Incredible! Ultra clean. One thing I would love to see is an annotation feature...

Bhavin Vora 2010-04-05 13:04:18
