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.

thats what I got.

If you can set me up with a temp admin account on your forum, will have a look for you, send me a PM if you want me to look at it for you. Either that or if you are uncomfortable with that, then do a test in a public part of your forums, so that I can look at the source code.

ATTENTION: Since jdsinclair left it open, I am on the verge of getting the quick edit issue fixed, once I have it fixed, I will provide my fix in this thread. Stay tuned as it might take a bit. I'm not javascript savvy but I'm gonna try.

Ok the problem comes up with the img bbcode so honestly, there is no way around it. Sorry all.

Thanks for having a go at fixing it

It was more than I could do with it.

hmm.. looks great but worried about the quick edit issue. I use that a lot.

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