Lightbox/ThickBox works with Inline Editing

Hey all,

Just thought id release this mod which is a fix to the previous lightboxes on vb that break the:

inline quick-edit feature
multi quote

Also the prev lightboxes on here were abit heavy on the size front. this one weighs in at 27kb, and i think it looks nicer anyway.

Demo: Here

Step 1: Download the file attached and upload its contents to your forum root or wherever you want (just remember the path)

Step 2: Modify the template headinclude and add this to the bottom,

<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT=='showthread' OR THIS_SCRIPT=='showpost'">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/thickbox.css" type="text/css" />
</if>

Step 3: Modify the template postbit/postbit_legacy and add this to the very top,

<if condition="$show['thumbnailattachment']">
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/thickbox.js"></script>
</if>

Step 4: Modify the template postbit_attachmentthumbnail and add this to the a href tag,

rel="gallery-thumbs" class="thickbox"

this may work on previous versions of vb but dont quote me on that as its untested on prev versions.

click install if you find this useful

nJoy.

..........

Update: The CSS file in the package was an old one and it was clashing with postbit_legacy, please use the new css file in the package on the right.

Update 2: This is the final update of this hack, i have removed the scrolling annoyance for larger images, they will display fully on the page. If you want the new update use the second attachment on the right.

i dont quite understand, when you click the link for the attachment the lightbox will open up the image to its fullsize or are you looking for something different?

[soletrader]

My mistake.. i thought the lightbox forced the images into a certain size.

[redgoals22]

heres another version of the same script, but it will allow for larger sized attachments to be displayed full-size on the page

if u find it useful click install

edit: slight problem with the attachment it has been updated.
edit2: apologies for the attachment, it contained an old css file which was clashing with postbit_legacy, please use the new attached package

Thanks redgoals. Great hack!

had to uninstall. It was messing up the style of postbitlegacy. If I take out the headinclude edit everything is back to normal.
