Adding Lightbox to Attachment thumbs · **Released**: 08-05-2006

Adding Lightbox to Attachment thumbs
Overview
Lightbox JS is a simple, unobtrusive script used to overlay images on the current page. It's a snap to setup and works on all modern browsers.

-This hack allows you to add the famous lightbox to attachment thumbnails.

- This makes users see attached images easilly, without having to open another page.

- It can be completly customised, to fit into your skin design, from css.

Installation - Very easy.

Download and upload the contents of upload folder into your forum root.

Template Edits.

Step1: Open headinclude, and insert this inside <heade></head>

Code:

<script type="text/javascript" src="js/prototype.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/scriptaculous.js?load=effects"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/lightbox.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/lightbox.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />

click Save.

Step2: Now Open postbit_attachmentthumbnail

Find:

Code:

<a href="attachment.php?$session[sessionurl]attachmentid=$attachment[attachmentid]&amp;d=$attachment[dateline]"<if condition="$show['newwindow']"> target="_blank"</if>><img class="thumbnail" src="attachment.php?$session[sessionurl]attachmentid=$attachment[attachmentid]&amp;stc=1&amp;thumb=1&amp;d=$attachment[thumbnail_dateline]" border="0" alt="<phrase 1="$attachment[filename]" 2="$attachment[counter]" 3="$attachment[filesize]" 4="$attachment[attachmentid]">$vbphrase[image_larger_version_x_y_z]</phrase>" /></a>
&nbsp;<if condition="$show['br']"><br /><br /></if>

Replace With:

Code:

 <a rel="lightbox" href="attachment.php?$session[sessionurl]attachmentid=$attachment[attachmentid]&amp;d=$attachment[dateline]"<if condition="$show['newwindow']"> target="_blank"</if>><img class="thumbnail" src="attachment.php?$session[sessionurl]attachmentid=$attachment[attachmentid]&amp;stc=1&amp;thumb=1&amp;d=$attachment[thumbnail_dateline]" border="0" alt="<phrase 1="$attachment[filename]" 2="$attachment[counter]" 3="$attachment[filesize]" 4="$attachment[attachmentid]">$vbphrase[image_larger_version_x_y_z]</phrase>" /></a>
&nbsp;<if condition="$show['br']"><br /><br /></if>

Thats it Enjoy The hack.

Note: It doesn't work if I click an image link before the page has finished loading.
The script is activated only after the page has finished loading.
Thank you!

All the Credit goes to huddletogether.com, for devloping such a beautifull script.

Unfortunately, this hacks causes a malfunction in Quick Edit and Multiquote.
I'm sorry but I have to uninstall it.

any chance of getting update for this hack, to fix known bugs?

Reverted template headinclude and that fixed it but of course, removed lightbox.

To avoid the errors, apply installation step 1 to SHOWTHREAD template only (before </head> tag) , rather than headerinclude template. This should fix your problems..

I am trying to work with lightbox for another reason and it led me here as I am strugling with the "quick edit" error too...

I know that the problem seems to be with the <body$onload>

See: http://www.huddletogether.com/projects/lightbox2/

It says:

Quote:

Support:
It doesn't work at all. The image opens up in a new page. What's wrong?
This is commonly caused by a conflict between JS scripts. Check your body tag and look for an onload attribute. Example:
<body onload="MM_preloadImages(‘/images/menu_on.gif’)…;">
A quick fix to this problem is to append the initLightbox() to the onload attribute as so:
<body onload="MM_preloadImages(‘/images/menu_on.gif’)…;initLightbox()">

So, I tried it....

Open "editpost"

Find <body$onload>

Replace with: <body onload="MM_preloadImages(‘/images/menu_on.gif’)…;initLightbox()">

BUT THAT DID NOT WORK!!!

I also removed the whole <body+extra stuff... and replaced it with a normal <body>. What I discovered is that with that gone the post opens and you can edit but when you click save the window does not return to a viewthread view... (remains with the editor)

I will recode that edit page if I need to or I will recode my forums so everybody on my site has to use the advanced editor if this is the only fix!

I also tried to edit the "showthread" and the "showthread showpost" templates and that didn't help either...

Won't work. Even if included only in SHOWTHREAD you will get problems with quick edit!

Here is what you guys have to do to get rid of those errors that you have been getting, put an if condition around the script,

Code:

<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'showthread'">
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/prototype.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/scriptaculous.js?load=effects"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/lightbox.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/lightbox.css" type="text/css" media="screen" /></if>

First BUG.
When you do Quick EDIT of post you can't save post when you click on SAVE but you can save post in Go To Advance option of EDIT POST.

I'm having this trouble since i install this mod but after uninstall it was fine and again i install then same thing again.
