Lytebox Intergration. Allows image groups, slideshows and works with embeded images.
![]() Developer Last Online: Oct 2008 ![]() ![]()
This mod has be made redundant by The Image Resizer by TCattitude. So, I no longer support it and recommend you use his plugin instead, it's much better!
This isn't the best mini-mod out there, and I'm not even sure if it's technically a mod. It's closer to a "how to" document than a mod. This works better than most of the proper Lytebox mods out there as it allows image grouping or slideshows (can't have both) and works with images embeded in posts (using ATTACH BBcode, or the little paper clip) . I'm not sure if it works with images in signatures, try it out and let me know. It does not do anything to images embedded using the IMG BBcode (it only works on images linked to by a thumbnail). LIVE DEMO: Here. Note that I am using the image group feature instead of the slideshow feature. Anyway, here it is. If you would like to get Lytebox working with vB 3.7.0 (this should work with other versions, but this is all I have tested it on). You need to do the following. 1) Download latest version of Lytebox here. 2) Edit lytebox.js to your desired settings (can just leave as default if you want). 3) Edit lytebox.css using a find-and-replace tool (even Notepad will do this). You need to swap all the words: HTML Code:
images HTML Code:
../images/lytebox 5) Upload lytebox.js and lytebox.css to "/clientscript" using FTP. 6) In AdminCP, go to Styles & Templates>Replacement Variable Manager and create a new replacment variable. Set it to replace: HTML Code:
rel="Lightbox" HTML Code:
rel="lytebox" If you want to use the image group feature then replace7) In AdminCP, go Style Manager>Edit Templates>Show Thread Templates>SHOWTHREAD. Click Customize (or Edit) and replace the following code: Code:
<if condition="$show['lightbox']"> <!-- lightbox scripts --> <script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/vbulletin_lightbox.js?v=$vboptions[simpleversion]"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- vBulletin.register_control("vB_Lightbox_Container", "posts", $vboptions[lightboxenabled]); //--> </script> <!-- / lightbox scripts --> </if> Code:
<if condition="$show['lightbox']"> <!-- lightbox scripts --> <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="clientscript/lytebox.js"></script> <link rel="stylesheet" href="clientscript/lytebox.css" type="text/css" media="screen" /> <!-- / lightbox scripts --> </if> 9) Repeat steps 7 and 8 for the SHOWTHREAD_SHOWPOST template. You can find this template by going into Style Manager>Edit Templates>Show Thread Templates>SHOWTHREAD_SHOWPOST. This will get lytebox working on the individual post page. 10) In AdminCP you need to turn on thumbnails and Lightbox (note that it refers to Lightbox, not lytebox. This is OK). You can do this in the AdminCP at vBulletin Options>Message Attachment Options. 11) Make sure that your images aren't set to load in a New Window. You can change this in the AdminCP at Attachments>Attachments Manager. 12) To enable images embedded using the IMG tag to be resized and enlarged using lytebox, you need to install JASE2's Image Resizer plugin from here and make some code changes. Make sure you you set Image Resizer to enlarge images in a new window. You do this in AdminCP vBulletin Options>Image Resizer Options>Default Resize Mode and set it to "Open in new window". You also need to set the size you want the IMG embedded images resized to (I set them to the same as my thumbnail settings).13) Using FTP, browse to /includes/ and edit the following line of PHP code in the file "class_bbcode.php". PHP Code:
PHP Code:
14) To remove the yellow warning box from images embedded using IMG tags, add the following CSS to your style. Code:
.ncode_imageresizer_warning { display: none; } v1.2 Provides a way to resize images embedded using IMG. It's not perfect, but it works in the meantime. v1.1 Works when viewing a single post. Allows for slideshows using lyteshow. Credits: Thanks to Andy Huang from the vB team. Thanks to Lost Heaven for coming up with the code I used in step 13. Of course, thanks to Markus F.

If you'd prefer to remove the warning tabs permanently, you can do it by commenting out (put a // in front of the code) lines 111 to 149 in Image Resizer's, "ncode_imageresizer.js" file although I'm not sure how legal that is due to copyrights.
My mod/hack/whatever isn't perfect yet. The Image Resizer plugin is not at all xhtml valid (but then again, neither is vBulletin) which bugs me (I like to know I've done it 100% right). Also, there should be a margin of 2px around the images, but I can't get Image Resizer to accept inline styles (like vB applies to all attached images). I just don't know enough about JavaScript. The other thing is, I hate having to edit edit templates enough, and I personally draw the line at editing core files outside of the vB AdminCP. So I have decided that personally won't use the method described in step 13. I'm just going to have those images non-lyteboxed untill I figure something else out. There are two reasons for this. Firstly, any vB updates in the future to that file will remove that code, and secondly, it's not xhtml valid and the code it generates is messy (which is even more messy thanks to Image Resizers invalid code). Hopefully JASE gets back to me (or someone else who knows JavaScript) about tweaking his file to include a rel=lytebox[group] tag in the image embed code. But for people who don't care about those kinds of things, this mod works pretty close to perfect (everything except the 2px margin IMG embeds) for embedding images using ATTACH, IMG and by attaching images to a post. It will display lyteshows or grouped images. |

I there. Is there any way to increase the size of the images in lytebox? What i mean is when we click the image it won't get the original size so, consequently, the image looses some quality. I have my image permissions to allow 1024*1024 images (in attachments). Thanks.

Hey pedroenf, you set that in lytebox.js.
There is a line about auto resizing images, set it to false. That will mean images will enlarge to their real size. It's a problem for people with smaller screens, but 1024*1024 is borderline OK. |

Great mod, but one thing I am curious about. I set it up to resize images posted using the IMG tags, BUT how would I get it to NOT include the images members post in their signatures using the IMG tags? So when they want to browse through all images in a thread posted via IMG tags within their posts, it won't include the signature images as well? Any ideas on how to get around that or exclude those?

Hey BeerLuver,
That's a tough one. Step 13 is what's causing that. I myself have decided not to use this with the Image Resizer mod because of that very reason (and because I don't like editing core files), meaning I just skipped step 13 and 14See an example of the end result here. I've been trying to get Jase2 to get his mod working with Lightbox (the version that comes with vB) and that way it would also work with this mod (or at least I'd then be able to figure out how to get it working with this mod), but he hasn't done it yet. So, the way this mod works at the moment is if you want to have IMG images open as a group using lytebox, then your signatures will too. Sorry, I wish I was smarter. If anyone knows a little about JavaScript I'm sure it would be super easy to tweak Jase2's code to work with my mod, I can help jsut let me know what you need. |

I'm wondering if there is some type of IF statement that could be used to ignore any images within the signature bits of code? I'm not very code savvy myself, so I wouldn't know how to get that working either heh. Or it'd be nice if the Lytebox could be set to work on individual images; not as a group, so when they click on one image, that's the only image it displays then. That might work for a work-around idea.

Hey BeerLuver,
I wish I knew more coding. As for getting a single image to open rather than a group, that is easy. See step 6 of my hack/mod above. -Baker |

Well, for now, I disabled the IMG bb code in signatures and allowed HTML image linking instead. I know it's not a safer way, but if I wanna use the lytebox with the IMG tag, needed to enable html in sigs and disable the img tag in sigs cause otherwise, if ya clicked on a linked image in someone's sig... it's only open that image in lytebox, and not actually open the link. I have close moderation of the forums too, so I'm not too concerned for misuse of the signatures with html, and any malicious use of em... automatic permanent ban for that person then heh.
Thanks for all your hard work on this mod though ![]() |
