What this hack does is add a nice CSS and Javascript lightbox effect
to your forums attachments. Attachments must be set to shown as thumb-
nails and not inline. Attachments can not be posted using the [attach]
id[/attach] bbCode at this time.

Working Demo(s): (Send me your URL once you get it working) http://www.fightrice.com/forums/showthread.php?t=124

Now Lets Get Started

1. Open your adminCP - Styles and Templates - Template Manager - Postbit
Templates - postbit OR postbit_legacy (only edit both if you use both)
At The Very Top Add

Code:

<!--LightBox By Dave At FightRice -->
<if condition="$show['thumbnailattachment']">
<script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/prototype.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/scriptaculous.js?load=effects"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/lightbox.js"></script>
<!-- / Light Box -->
<else />
<!-- Nothing To Load Here-->
</if>
<!-- /LightBox -->

Save and close

2. Next open postbit_attachmentthumbnail find <a after add

Code:

rel="lightbox[attachment]"

Save and close

3. Next Open the headinclude template Find

Code:

<!-- / CSS Stylesheet -->

Replace with

Code:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="clientscript/vbulletin_css/lightbox.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />
<!-- / CSS Stylesheet -->

Save and close

Thats all for template edits:
Now upload the contents of the clientscript into your forums. You should end up with this structure
/forums/clientscript/vbulletin_css/lightbox.css
/forums/clientscript/ - All the .js files go inside this folder

Next Upload the images into the webroot.ex
http://www.yoursite.com/images/lightboximages.gif (note this isnt an actual image, its an example)

Thats all there should be

User Configuration Options below If you do not feel comfortable doing this, dont

var fileBottomNavCloseImage = "/images/closelabel.gif";

var resizeSpeed = 7;	// controls the speed of the image resizing (1=slowest and 10=fastest)

var borderSize = 10;	//if you adjust the padding in the CSS, you will need to update this variable

THIS IS FOR THE IMAGE RESIZE VERSION - USE lightboxresize.zip DO NOT USE BOTH!

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////\
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ \\\\\\\\\\\/
Dynamic Lightbox auto resize - and image overlay.
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////\
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ \\\\\\\\\\\/

If using a previous version of this hack, please remove all instances, delete all old files
and undo any templae edits. easy way is to simply follow the old instructions, and simply remove
things instead of add.

This lightbox will automatically resize images to your screen, and all for full size viewing.
Feel free to edit as you see fit.

First Step. open lightbox_plus.js at the very end find

Code:

// === PLEASE EDIT TO MATCH YOUR SITE ===
addEvent(window,"load",function() {
	var lightbox = new LightBox({
		loadingimg:'http://www.YOURSITE.com/images/loading.gif',
		expandimg:'http://www.YOURSITE.com/images/expand.gif',
		shrinkimg:'http://www.YOURSITE.com/images/shrink.gif',
		effectimg:'http://www.YOURSITE.com/images/zzoop.gif',
		effectpos:{x:-40,y:-20},
		effectclass:'effects',
		closeimg:'http://www.YOURSITE.com/images/close.gif'
	});
});

Replace all YOURSITE.com with the actual address you will keep everything. pretty simple.
Save and close.

Create the zzoop.gif image to match your site,

Upload lightbox_plus.js to the /yourforumlocation/clientscript folder

Upload lightbox.css into /yourforumlocation/clientscript/vbulletin_css folder

Upload all images into http://www.YOURSITE.com/images

*MAKE SURE ALL PREVIOUS INSTALLATIONS ARE REMOVED AT THIS POINT*
Login to AdminCP -> Styles Templates -> headinclude template

add at the very end.

Code:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="clientscript/vbulletin_css/lightbox.css" type="text/css" media="screen,tv" />

Save and close

Next open the postbit_attachmentthumbnail

After <a add

Code:

rel="lightbox"

If you want the image overlay, also add (or if you changed the effectclass in lightbox_plus.js use what you changed it to)

Code:

class="effects"

Save, and close.

in the postbit_legacy or postbit, place this code at the very top

Code:

<script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/lightbox_plus.js"></script>

This should produce similar results to the last one, there is no next or previous buttons though.

Enjoy it.

I still love the hack, however after seeing the demo "with buttons and exit" hehe I wish I had that on my own site

Ntfu2 · #**116** 05-17-2006, 08:42 PM

dont your buttons show up?

JohnBee · #**117** 05-17-2006, 09:15 PM

hmm No buttons here, I uploaded the dir structure as it was setup in the archive, is it possible the /image/ folder belonged under the /forum/ dir or was it meant to go to the dir above that?

Also I tested it with ie to see if perhaps FF was not acting up but on ie 6.2 it was not rendering any effects at all.
Not sure whats going on here

JohnBee · #**118** 05-17-2006, 09:39 PM

Update...

I test ie on your demo site and it did the same thing

So theres no problem with the script there.

However I do not see the navigation buttons and /or the exit buttons
If I hit the image at either side it does progress through the slidshow though.

clicking away returns to the forum.

Ntfu2 · #**119** 05-17-2006, 10:23 PM

the images folder belongs above the forums folder

ie
www.site.com/forums <--location of forums
www.site.com/images <-- location of images.

If that fails you can always open the lightbox.css file, and edit the paths by hand (should only be 3 image paths), and i beleive lightbox.js (inside clientscript) folder has two image paths near the top that may need to be edited.

Okay I will have a look into that.
One thing I noticed... on your demo forum, I see the java initialisaton icon as the .js is loading on the images. But not on my own though...

Is this an additional feature or could it all be linked to the missing navigation icons?

JohnBee · #**121** 05-18-2006, 12:38 AM

Alright those spots you mentioned worked

It is very odd that I am unable to use any internal paths to these images.

I did however sucessfully drop the images in the /clientscript/ dir and load the previous and next buttons there. However the close and loading images are nowheres to be seen.

I will keep working at it though.

I wish I could understand why the paths are not registering.
