Cloud Zoom jQuery Plugin: v1.0.3 vs. v2.1

A new jQuery plugin Cloud Zoom 2.1 version is released. Its demo looks nice. One bad apple spoils the cider though: Commercial License. Sure, there is a FREE License, however, “FREE” sounds good but is not actually a freebie.

In point of fact, I like this plugin. Not so long ago it was a real freeware (MIT License). I even used it in my Magento Quickview Pro extension. But now we have this Commercial License issue. However, if you want to have the effect on the demo in your gallery, I would strongly recommend you to purchase Cloud Zoom 2.1. Totally worth it.

Its size is smaller than size of the analogs. Realized effects, settings and cross-browser compatibility are better as well.

Here is an old Cloud Zoom version (MIT License) for all comers. I can hardly find the description for it on the site.

  3. Hi Mishel,

    Amazing script! How can I implement in my WordPress eCommerce theme as a product gallery?

    Many thanks,
    Tom

  4. I can’t seem to get this script to work when I paste your sample code into a blank page. Theoretically it should work right as long as I include jquery also?

  5. Konstantin,

    As far as I understand you want to leave the attribute rel empty for other purposes.
    From this library code:

    it is seen, that parameters can be not only in the rel attribute, but can be written during the update

  6. Can you help me with version 1.0.3 of script? I’ve set the defaults in script, so I don’t need to write anything in rel attribute. But I need to write blank rel attribute, otherwise, script doesn’t work. I think, it is some issue with checking rel options in script, but I don’t know JQuery, so I can’t change it.

  7. Thanks for free version of this script, it wasn’t easy to find it in internet.
