Magic Thumb^™ for Joomla

Installation instructions for adding Magic Thumb^™ to Joomla general content using the Joomla module for images.

Integration with Joomla 1.5

1. Download and install the Magic Thumb^™ Joomla 1.5 content module (trial version).

2. Enable the module.

3. It's ready!

To upgrade to the full version, buy Magic Thumb^™ and upload the magicthumb-packed.js file to this folder: /modules/mod_magicthumb/magicthumb/.

Integration with Joomla 1.0

First, you should install the mod_magictoolbox_tinymce module. This module allows you to insert class and rel attributes for <a> links in the WYSIWYG content editor. (Without it, TinyMCE will remove these attributes by default for some unknown reason).

1. Download mod_magictoolbox_tinymce module
2. Install it using the Joomla installer menu.
3. Open the module properties (Modules → Administartor Modules → MagicToolbox TinyMCE editor fix).
4. Publish the module.
5. Set the module position to “header”.

(You can skip installing this module if you are happy to completely disable TinyMCE code cleanup: “Mambots” → “Site Mambots” → “TinyMCE WYSIWYG Editor” → “Code Cleanup” = off.)

Now you must install the mod_magicthumb_content module.

1. Download mod_magicthumb_content module (trial version).
2. Install it using the Joomla installer menu.
3. Open the module properties.
4. Publish the module.

The trial version is now working!

To upgrade to the full version, buy Magic Thumb^™ and upload the magicthumb-packed.js file to this folder: /modules/magicthumb.
