Sasson - smart drupal theming

SUBMITTED BY Tsachi

Sasson means "Joy".
This drupal theme is all about bringing the joy back into drupal theming by making your work effective and smart, and your results professional and faster, faster for you to develop and faster for the end-user to browse.
Clean and simple code, lightweight structure, latest technologies, 100% open-source and the best DX (developer experience) we could think of is what we hope you will find in this new drupal base theme.

We'll quickly go over most of the main features of Sasson and see how to use them.

How to add a magnifying glass overlay to a lightbox icon

Simple CSS hover won't do the trick here because we can't give a (visible) background-image when hovering over an image, so we append a div using jQuery and position it with CSS.

The jQuery :


Drupal.behaviors.appendMagnifier = function (context) {

// Append magnify div on hover
$("a.imagefield-lightbox2").hover(
function(){
$(this).append('

Show

');
},
function(){
