Zoomed image is cut-off by parent overflow:hidden

[Knordy]

Our layout contains the images in a div with the style overflow:hidden. When the images are zoomed they do not act as a true overlay and are cut off by this parent div.

I couldn't create a fiddle, but you can replicate this behaviour by adding this to your site:

<div style="position:relative;">
  <div style="overflow:hidden;">
    <img src="img/palm.jpg" data-action="zoom">
  </div>
</div>

As you can see by clicking the palm img, the image will be zoomed, and cut off.
According to this site it should be possible with a different css positioning.

I'm having the same problem.

I'm adding the click action to the element you want to click to zoom, for changing the css from overflow hidden to visible.

And to turn it again to hidden, I tweak the zoom.js prototype function a little bit by adding a custom function to toggle css styling from visible to hidden in Zoom.prototype.close.

I'm having this issue too. @claudiofrs that's awesome! Would you be able to create a fork of your solution with the additions you suggested and possibly a small (doesn't have to be pretty) example?

I'd love to dive in and check it out.

It adds a class "zoom-overlay-open" to "body" element when an image is zoomed, so I think overriding the css would be good enough in this case:

.zoom-overlay-open .originally-hidden-element {
  overflow : initial;
}

@kitce this is the issue we're talking about: http://codepen.io/yipyop/pen/RRpOKQ. I don't know if what you're saying makes sense with that example.

It's really about the parent element that the image is contained within.
