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.

NOTE 2: The now obsolete vBLightbox for v3.6.x is available here.


vBulletin Version Compatibility

This hack has be tested with v3.5.8. This has not been tested with earlier versions, but should work.


What Does This Hack Do?

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

This hack integrates the script in with vBulletin and uses a 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 any more.

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 version of the IMG tag and has no file edits at all.

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


Known Issues

The AJAX Quick Edit does not work with this hack installed.

I forget.... how does one edit a post WITHOUT the quick edit? if its not toooooo inconvenient I may forgoe it for this.

If you turn off Quick Edit, then clicking the Edit button on a post just opens the full editor rather that the quick edit in the post itself, so not complicated at all

Is there any way we can limit the size the photos can be display on the screen? If you have a photo that is so big, it takes over the screen and you can't click anywhere else... please help if you can...

Unfortunately that is the way the modification works. It displays the image in a size that is proportionate to the width specified in the BB Code.

If the full size image is larger than your screen resolution then you will have to use the scrollbars to navigate to the bottom righthand side of the lightbox window to close it.

Any modifications have to be done through the lightbox script and I do not support that at all, I only support my integration script, and only when the person who has requested help has clicked Install, if they have not clicked Install, then they will not recieve help (see first post).

You will have to ask the creator of the lightbox modification himself if there is anyway to alter it, the link is in the first post.

There is no option with this mod for previous and next. It would require working out what the postid is at the time of post/preview, and I have not figured out how to do it yet.

So far, I am converting my mods over to v3.6.x and I have tested this and it does not work at the moment, when it does I will release it.

I am also interested in this modification. Any update for 3.6.5 would be great! Thanks!!!!

A version for 3.6.x has now been released here
