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.

Same here ...

you dont need to put it between <head></head> just place anywhere in the headerinclude, here is what my code looks like..

Code:

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

if you want place the css file under the vbulletin_css directory just change the start of every image url to "../../images.."

The Demo link for this says I have to post at least 'two' messages to be able to see the any attachments?

Uh... pass!

darkakira · #78 03-24-2008, 09:46 PM

Apparently this also makes it so IE users can't post. At least that's what it does on vB3.6.8. PL2.

I'm looking into fixing it, but for now I must uninstall it from my main site.

problem to my VB Editor

Hi I'm not sure this is the right place to post but I've got a problem...
I'm running now the 3.7 on my forum and this version should have this wonderful hack integrated.
It seems to be so since I found and activated this option in ACP.

But even if it's turning on it doesn't work and if I click a thumbnails in attachment it still load in a different page.

What could be the problem, please let me know something....

bye
