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

<!--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

rel="lightbox[attachment]"

Save and close

3. Next Open the headinclude template Find

<!-- / CSS Stylesheet -->

Replace with

<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
its not neccasary. if you come up with a cool effect please share it.
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the clientscript/lightbox.js file these lines you can config to suite your needs
__________________________________________________ _________________________________

var fileLoadingImage = "/images/loading.gif";		
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

__________________________________________________ _________________________________
clientscript/vbulletin_css/lightbox.css

Of Course can also be edited to make it unique to your needs.

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

// === 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.

<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

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)

class="effects"

Save, and close.

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

<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.

Cool, I was wondering when this would get ported to vB.
[high]* DirectPixel installs.[/high]

You might want to give some credit to the guy who actually wrote the lightbox script.

Awesome works great - http://digitalet.net/forum/showthrea...newpost&t=2681

[sdenike]

I changed one part on this script. I change the rel="lightbox[attachment] to rel="lightbox[attachment$post[postid]]" that way if you have a bunch of attachments in a post it wont cycle through the entire topic of attachments, only the ones in THAT post.

[Ntfu2]

Cool Good tip.

thanks

[nymyth]

NTFU, is there anyway we can use imagemagick to autoresize the image?? So if someone uploads a huge image, imagemagick will shrink it and then lighbotx kicks into action???

Peace

this wont work with anything posted with the [img ] tags anyway.

[Icheb]

Am I doing something wrong or is saving the images with Firefox impossible? Whenever I do a right click on the image the only options I see are "Save Page as" or "Save Link as", but not "Save Image". If I do it in IE I have to hit the area where there are no "previous" and "next" links.

Other than that, I can't put it in words how wonderful this looks.
