Lightbox/ThickBox works with Inline Editing

Hey all,

Just thought id release this mod which is a fix to the previous lightboxes on vb that break the:

inline quick-edit feature
multi quote

Also the prev lightboxes on here were abit heavy on the size front. this one weighs in at 27kb, and i think it looks nicer anyway.

Demo: Here

Step 1: Download the file attached and upload its contents to your forum root or wherever you want (just remember the path)

Step 2: Modify the template headinclude and add this to the bottom,

<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT=='showthread' OR THIS_SCRIPT=='showpost'">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/thickbox.css" type="text/css" />
</if>

Step 3: Modify the template postbit/postbit_legacy and add this to the very top,

<if condition="$show['thumbnailattachment']">
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/thickbox.js"></script>
</if>

Step 4: Modify the template postbit_attachmentthumbnail and add this to the a href tag,

rel="gallery-thumbs" class="thickbox"

this may work on previous versions of vb but dont quote me on that as its untested on prev versions.

click install if you find this useful

nJoy.

..........

Update: The CSS file in the package was an old one and it was clashing with postbit_legacy, please use the new css file in the package on the right.

Update 2: This is the final update of this hack, i have removed the scrolling annoyance for larger images, they will display fully on the page. If you want the new update use the second attachment on the right.

Do you mean the conditionals in steps 2 and step 3? Step 4 has none.

The hack take too much time to load some images. I try to compress the Javascript but don't work with compression. Is possible to make it more fast?

If you could help me out that would be great, I took out the conditionals, added it to the gallery, but I think the key is that gallery-thumbs piece, I dunno... but when I click on the link for a pic, it just opens the pic in the window. Which is actually a good thing because I'm close... because it used to open it in a new window and in that new window call the pic with another script.

I can make you an admin on my boards if you can help me out?

Will it work fine on 3.6.1 ?

I really love this hack but just received a request from my members that they are unable to read a post and view the thread at the same time. I hate to disable this hack on my website so I decided to give it a shot and see if I can get any help here.

I want to keep this hack..... I think its a very attractive feature to have. However, I would like the image to pop out in a different box without darkening the thread. Is this possible? Thank you

you have a problem with your attachments they seem to be taking forever to load, i suspect you are storing your attachments in database? if so i would consider if i was you to move then to filesystem.

the whole purpose of lightbox is the light with the dark barkround.. thats how it gets its name. im afraid what you want would require further hacking of the original script which i do not have the time to do im afraid
