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.

I added the above script because i thought i had to install the Lightbox first. The lightbox link you provided from huddletogether.com. So i followed those instructions and then did yours. Now i uninstalled and removed the huddletogether script. Overwrite your product again, and it is still not working. What am i doing wrong?

The only way I think I will get to the bottom of this is if you PM with details of a temp admin for your site that can edit templates and use the plugin system, then I will have a look for you and sort it out for you.

You are more than welcome I am glad someone has had a positive experience with this modification

That is how it should work, all you have to do is disable QuickEdit in AdminCP, upload the files to the correct locations and import the product (again into AdminCP) , you should not have make any changes at all and it should work straight away.

Uninstalled, then reinstalled. Nada. Is it because i am using the lightbox with photoplog? Would there be inteference? The lightbox files are uploaded to my site directory and one template from shell_blank. I used lightbox with vBgarage before, but i uninstalled it. Is there something i should check out?

Thanks.

I believe it will only work if you have your images wrapped in his custom bb code. [imgw]
