Integration with vBulletin - vBLightbox

Hack Support

This hack is now discontinued - this means that while it will remain available for download and use, there will be no further updates, nor will support be provided as the thread is no longer monitored.

Please click Mark as Installed if you are using this hack.

NOTE: I have marked this hack as Re-usable Code - This means that code from this hack may be used in other hacks, which can ONLY be released on official vB sites that use Jelsoft's verification system to verify your vBulletin license status, and as long as I am credited in your hack.


vBulletin Version Compatibility

This has been tested on an unmodified v3.6.5 forum, so as long as the templates have not been modified too much, then this should work with no alterations needed in the plugins. This has also been installed on my forum which is heavily modified.


What Does This Hack Do?

It is a port/update of my v3.5.x hack available here, apart from the fact that there a hell of a lot more locations that this effect works (only worked on SHOWTHREAD page in v3.5.x version).

vBLightbox is based on a script by Lokesh Dhakar from http://www.huddletogether.com/, the script I am using is available here.

NOTE: You do not have to download the script above as it is already included in my hack.

This hack integrates the script in with vBulletin and uses a custom BBCode (in this case my custom IMGW tag) to display a full size overlay picture with a nice expanding image of a reduced size picture.

The Demo has now been removed, as I do not have this hack installed anymore.

This is NOT the same hack that Ntfu2 has posted here. His differs from mine as his has file edits and affects attachments.

My hack concerns images posted using my custom BB Code and has no file edits at all.

I hope you enjoy this hack as much as I have enjoyed creating it.

Locations that this effect works and you can use the IMGW tag:

• FAQ - Show BB Codes
• edit post
• show thread
• show single post
• new pm
• show pm
• preview pm
• signature
• signature preview
• profile (if signature is enabled)

Known Issues

The AJAX Quick Edit still does not work with this hack installed.
(with AJAX Quick Edit enabled it works everywhere but SHOWTHREAD, which is a major problem and why it needs turning off, see Installation instructions)
NOTE: This will never be fixed, as this hack is now obsolete, so please do not ask.


Installation Instructions

Download the zip file, unzip and follow the install or upgrade instructions.

Note: There is no upgrade path from my v3.5.x version, you have to uninstall that one first (including files and custom BB Code) before installing this one.

this is with a picture about 150k, max allowed is 400k - I like to make it easy for my members to post pictures, instead of having to host the picture somewhere else.

So what does the error mean and why is the lightbox not working (before I disabled it because of the attachment error)?

[liljimmy]

Okay, that fixed my first problem but produced a new one. If somebody is making a post and wants to change their font size or font face, about halfway down through the fonts dropdown menu everything is all garbled. It's words and code all on top of one another and is unreadable.

Installed and works great..

Thought i don't like that i can't use the quick edit option any more


also is there a way to limit the code to specific forums as you can with normal [IMG] tags... as i can't find such an option

In all there are 35 of these in the file attachment box, with one real file attached.

With the first "undefined" being a link that takes you to this message -

OK, I have re-created that error and am looking in to it, will post updated files when I have fixed it.

EDIT: I have isolated the problem and will be releasing a fixed version in a few minutes.

[Mosh]

Update to v1.02 which should fix up the attachment problems.

[Luky]

No I did not, I have never downloaded PSI stats (whatever that is).

Click Mark as Installed as you have it installed on your site, also remove me as supporter on your template change please as I have my hands full supporting my own hacks as it is and will not support your one as well.

[Luky]

But this mod is supported and thats what i mean by supported, but okay ill remove it. And i have clicked install... I click install when i download things so i get notified of updates

[subzero06]

Im using 3.6.4 and i think this hack is not compatible for the people that uses the "Advanced Warning System" hack.
when i try to import the product it says

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class vs_hhr_engine in /home/******/public_html/*****/includes/functions_warning.php on line 0

Can you make it, so it works with the warning system hack?
