How-to Use vB Lightbox for Pictures on Custom Pages

[RS_Jelle]

Hmm, this isn't working for me on vB 3.7.2. I compared it with the vB Lightbox for attachments, ... but I don't see any differences or changes.

The included JavaScript is blocking the href="" link from working (so it is doing something), but there's no Lightbox opening.

h?

for me its also not working
this is my code:

<div class="alt1 block_row" id="flickrfotos">
	<ul class="list_no_decoration">
		<!-- BEGIN TEMPLATE: flickr_fotobit -->

<a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3133/3228243890_3cc6c267dc.jpg" rel="Lightbox">
	<img border="0" alt="Naschmarkt" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3133/3228243890_3cc6c267dc_m.jpg" />
</a>

<!-- END TEMPLATE: flickr_fotobit --><!-- BEGIN TEMPLATE: flickr_fotobit -->
<a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3372/3227390009_cc260b6805.jpg" rel="Lightbox">
	<img border="0" alt="Naschmarktkunst" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3372/3227390009_cc260b6805_m.jpg" />
</a>

<!-- END TEMPLATE: flickr_fotobit -->

At end i add

    <script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/vbulletin_lightbox.js?v=380"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    <!--
    vBulletin.register_control("vB_Lightbox_Container", "flickrfotos", 1);
    //-->
    </script>

When i click on the photo, it seems to be working (it's getting dark) but then the browser redirects to http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3133/...3cc6c267dc.jpg

nobody have a idee why it's not working?

May there be anything that needs to be changed on VB 3.8.1?

Can anybody help? Thanks a lot.

* The 'rel' attribute is rel="Lightbox_11111111" now - Lightbox_ + unique ID for all images in the set.
* <a href should be a script that returns an XML page that has html (with link inside), date, time, etc tags. You can look for an example in attachment.php, in the section devoted to the AJAX processing.

I am currently working on the issue with lightbox within vB. So far just getting a black box so trying to figure out how vB can use a php file to do it instead of an html or xml file.

Apparently there is no current way to implement vB's lightbox with custom pages. It was included only for use with attachments especially in 3.8.x
