Given that other support threads seem to start with "this is an auto-generated topic" then I expected a thread to automagically appear for an extra I recently submitted. However I can’t see anything appearing, so I’ve created this manually.
Direct Resize is a plugin to apply the Highslide JS image expander to images on the website. Similar to lightbox / slimbox but with a few nice features, the image will expand to the viewable screen area with the option to expand to full size. The styling on the popup images can be changed and the captions are picked up from the image title or alt text.
Background : there was an excellent Directresize plugin for Evo, unfortunately the original author hasn’t had time to upgrade it for Revo. A directresize for Revo has been generated but was missing several features which I was after and used an old version of the highslide javascript which fails when using Chrome. I emailed the author suggesting hosting on github and proposing a few upadates. Presumably due to the language barrier I’ve been unable to get a response. I emailed the original author of the Evo plugin to ask if it was ok to develop the plugin for Revo using the original DirectResize name for the plugin, which he generously allowed me to do. So this is the current state of the plugin.
I use it extensively on my website so for an example please have a look at

The plugin is hosted on github,
http://github.com/apcherry/directresize so please use this if you can to report any bugs or feature requests.
It’s the first time I’ve published anything for modx so any questions, requests or feedback would be gratefully received.
