Instructions

To use this snippet, paste the following code and fill in the desired fields:

If you leave a field blank, then a default value will be applied instead. The below table shows you the possible values and what each field does:

NOTE: Do not use quotes when filling out fields (unless you want quotes to display).

Attribute	Default Value	Description
name	Required!	A UNIQUE name for the image that does not contain any spaces.
image	Required!	The URL of the image to be displayed.
heading	Hidden	The title of the image, displayed over the image.
caption	Hidden	Description of the image or its context, displayed under the image.
link	The Image URL	Web location that the user is directed to when the image is clicked. When supplied with a value of `none`, the link will be deactivated.
title	Hidden	Text that appears when the user hovers over the image long enough.
alt	Image Unavailable	Text that appears when the image at the specified URL does not exist.
max-width	auto	The maximum width the image should be. Scales when the screen width becomes small enough.
width	auto	Forces the image to always be at this width.
float	middle	Aligns the image to either the `left` or `right`.
force-float	false	When `true`, the image will always float regardless of screen size.
kind	default	Can be one of the Bootstrap predefined color schemes: `primary`, `warning`, `danger`, `info`, or `success`. Changes the scheme of the image box to that specified.
size	md	Can either be `lg`, `md`, or `sm`. This adjusts the width of the modal, where `lg` is large, `md` is medium, and `sm` is small.

Like its predecessor, the Modal Image snippet may be easily customized for your site via CSS. Use the following classes for customization:

Class	Description
image-box	The overall Image Box
image-box-modal	The modal box that appears when the image is clicked
image-box-heading	The heading area above the image
image-box-image	The image area where the image itself resides
image-box-caption	The caption area below the image

You may also use the following Bootstrap-specific classes that correspond to the kind field (see above):

…disable the link on the modal so the user cannot get to the image itself?
- Give the link field the value none, and the link will be deactivated.
…disable the link so the modal does not appear?
- Use the regular Bootstrap Image Box instead.
…make the image respond to the device?
- This is done automatically unless you gave a value to the width field. To maintain screen responsiveness, we recommend you use max-width instead.
…make it so the image box is not bigger than the image?
- Supply a value to the max-width field.
…allow the user to navigate through a gallery of images?
- This is not the tool you want to use. Instead, we recommend looking at the Carousel snippet.
…it doesn't work!
- Your site probably does not have Bootstrap enabled. Read more about this here.
…so uh, your image thing is hideous.
- If you do not like how it looks, you can define your own CSS using the CSS classes stated above in the "CSS Customization" section.
…your snippet doesn't do what I want.
- Unfortunately, I cannot cater to everyone's needs. If you wish, you can copy the source code directly and hence have total power over its operation.
