Hey Jase,
Sounds like the Navy would be fun. It's a big regret of mine.
Anyway, as for Lightbox there are a bunch of different versions of it. Lytebox is a different version, but you should just concentrate on getting Lightbox working. This is the one that comes with vB 3.7. It doesn't actually resize the images, all it does is provide a nice way of opening images in a new window. Basically, any image that has a rel="Lightbox" tag in it's HTML link tag will open in a Lightbox window.
Here is an example of the markup:
HTML Code:
<a href="http://www.example.com/example.jpg" rel="Lytebox"><img src="http://www.example.com/example.thumbnail.jpg" height="100" width="100"></a>
NOTE: It can't have target="_blank" in it.
So, what I am asking is that you add an option to "open using Lightbox" in Image Resizer's options page Then your plugin simply adds a rel="Lightbox" into the HTML link tag. This way, it will open using Lightbox and fit the style of the rest of my site (see
here for example).
I actually figured out how to do this on my own and
made a little mod to do it. See steps 12-14. I made it work with Lytebox (not Lightbox) but it's crude and requires some core file edits. I'd rather have Lightbox part of your mod so it's legit and not require so many hacks on my behalf.
Of course, it would be ideal if it was somewhat easy to edit a variable in your code so that I could replace rel="Lightbox" with rel="lytebox", but this is just me being demanding (or would this be possible using Replacement Variable Manager? I'm not sure if that works for plugins/products).
