FAQ

Questions about Easy Cloud Zoom

Still unsure? Our support team is one ticket away.

What is Easy Cloud Zoom 2.0?

A Joomla product-zoom gallery plugin. Point it at a folder (or image list) and visitors can magnify details with lens or inner zoom.

Version 2.0 is a full rebuild for Joomla 4 / 5 / 6: vanilla JS/CSS (no jQuery), themes, WebP cache, and an editor button.

What is included in the install package?

The install package (the .zip inside your download) installs two extensions:

  • System plugin: System - Easy Cloud Zoom
  • Editor button: Editor Button - Easy Cloud Zoom
Which Joomla versions are supported?

Joomla 4, 5, and 6. PHP 8.0+ is required.

How do I add a zoom gallery?

Enable System - Easy Cloud Zoom, then insert a shortcode in an article or Custom HTML module.

Example: {cloudzoom folder="images/cloud" title="Product Zoom" thumbs="right" mode="lens"}

Or click the Cloud Zoom editor button and fill in the form.

Does the old shortcode still work?

Yes. Legacy syntax still works after upgrade:

{cloud-zoom}images/cloud/{title}Title{end-cloud-zoom}

What zoom modes are available?

Lens — a magnifier box follows the pointer.

Inner — the zoom fills the main image frame.

Can I change thumbnail position?

Yes — right, left, top, bottom, or none.

Set the default in plugin settings, or override per gallery with thumbs="left".

Is it mobile friendly?

Yes. On smaller screens, side thumbnail strips stack and scroll horizontally.

Touch drag works for zoom; nav chevrons match the scroll direction.

What image formats are supported?

JPG, JPEG, PNG, GIF, and WebP.

Where should I upload my photos?

Use Content → Media and store files under images/.

Example folder: images/cloud.

Tip: name files like Shoes__running-sneaker.jpg for clean captions.

Where are cached images stored?

Under images/cloud_zoom_cache/ (large/ and thumb/, plus WebP subfolders when enabled).

Delete that folder to force a rebuild.

How do I use the editor button?

Enable Editor Button - Easy Cloud Zoom.

In the article editor, click Cloud Zoom, set folder / title / thumbs / mode / theme, then Insert shortcode.

Can I show a browser chrome frame?

Yes — set browser="1" in the shortcode, or turn on Browser Chrome in plugin settings.

Leave it off if your page already wraps demos in a browser mockup.

Can I have multiple galleries on one page?

Yes. Use multiple shortcodes; each gallery runs independently.

Why do thumbnails look soft?

Raise Thumb Width / Height in plugin settings (160×160 is recommended), clear images/cloud_zoom_cache/, and hard-refresh the page.

Why isn’t anything rendering?

Confirm System - Easy Cloud Zoom is enabled, the folder path is correct, and images exist under images/.

Shortcodes inside <pre>/<code> are intentionally left as plain text.
