ZoomInfo Implements a simple image gallery allowing to display picture teaser text on hovering.	GPL V2.0
	V1.7	J!1.5

The module is based on the Jquery script Zoom-info described in the Addy Osmani tutorial (www.addyosmani.com) and implements a simple image gallery allowing to display picture teaser text on hovering.

It supports multiple uses on the same page or on several pages by defining a unique id for each module .

Module allows to define following settings:

* images folder
* max 20 images
* gallery parameters: width, height and background
* image parameters: width, height, margin, title text, teaser text, title color and teaser text color, url link and target

French language translation included.

Demo is based on the images of the Addy Osmani tutorial.

Implementation notes:

- best result is obtained when the image physical size is identical to the gallery image box sizes

- the physical image must have a height in px >= image gallery height

Documentation: how to define url links in caption text

1) do not define external url for the picture

2) define your image caption text as follows (exemple of picture 3 in above demo)

Note: do not define br tags if the "New line to br tag" parameter is enabled. Each line return in the parameter box will generate a br tag.

Important note for upgrade:

Since version 1.6, the image activation status parameters have been removed and therefore an image is now declared active if a file name is provided. The number of images available for randomize mode is computed as the number of images with a defined file name.

Due to the new random mode feature, after module installation you must save each zoominfo module after setting the gallery number of images parameter (default to 1 on install) and check systematically ... if nothing other has been altered.
