What this hack does is add a nice CSS and Javascript lightbox effect
to your forums attachments. Attachments must be set to shown as thumb-
nails and not inline. Attachments can not be posted using the [attach]
id[/attach] bbCode at this time.

Working Demo(s): (Send me your URL once you get it working) http://www.fightrice.com/forums/showthread.php?t=124

Now Lets Get Started

1. Open your adminCP - Styles and Templates - Template Manager - Postbit
Templates - postbit OR postbit_legacy (only edit both if you use both)
At The Very Top Add

<!--LightBox By Dave At FightRice -->
<if condition="$show['thumbnailattachment']">
<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>
<!-- / Light Box -->
<else />
<!-- Nothing To Load Here-->
</if>
<!-- /LightBox -->

Save and close

2. Next open postbit_attachmentthumbnail find <a after add

rel="lightbox[attachment]"

Save and close

3. Next Open the headinclude template Find

<!-- / CSS Stylesheet -->

Replace with

<link rel="stylesheet" href="clientscript/vbulletin_css/lightbox.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />
<!-- / CSS Stylesheet -->

Save and close

Thats all for template edits:
Now upload the contents of the clientscript into your forums. You should end up with this structure
/forums/clientscript/vbulletin_css/lightbox.css
/forums/clientscript/ - All the .js files go inside this folder

Next Upload the images into the webroot.ex
http://www.yoursite.com/images/lightboximages.gif (note this isnt an actual image, its an example)

Thats all there should be

User Configuration Options below If you do not feel comfortable doing this, dont
its not neccasary. if you come up with a cool effect please share it.
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the clientscript/lightbox.js file these lines you can config to suite your needs
__________________________________________________ _________________________________

var fileLoadingImage = "/images/loading.gif";		
var fileBottomNavCloseImage = "/images/closelabel.gif";

var resizeSpeed = 7;	// controls the speed of the image resizing (1=slowest and 10=fastest)

var borderSize = 10;	//if you adjust the padding in the CSS, you will need to update this variable

__________________________________________________ _________________________________

THIS IS FOR THE IMAGE RESIZE VERSION - USE lightboxresize.zip DO NOT USE BOTH!

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////\
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ \\\\\\\\\\\/
Dynamic Lightbox auto resize - and image overlay.
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////\
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ \\\\\\\\\\\/

If using a previous version of this hack, please remove all instances, delete all old files
and undo any templae edits. easy way is to simply follow the old instructions, and simply remove
things instead of add.

This lightbox will automatically resize images to your screen, and all for full size viewing.
Feel free to edit as you see fit.

First Step. open lightbox_plus.js at the very end find

// === PLEASE EDIT TO MATCH YOUR SITE ===
addEvent(window,"load",function() {
	var lightbox = new LightBox({
		loadingimg:'http://www.YOURSITE.com/images/loading.gif',
		expandimg:'http://www.YOURSITE.com/images/expand.gif',
		shrinkimg:'http://www.YOURSITE.com/images/shrink.gif',
		effectimg:'http://www.YOURSITE.com/images/zzoop.gif',
		effectpos:{x:-40,y:-20},
		effectclass:'effects',
		closeimg:'http://www.YOURSITE.com/images/close.gif'
	});
});

Replace all YOURSITE.com with the actual address you will keep everything. pretty simple.
Save and close.

Create the zzoop.gif image to match your site,

Upload lightbox_plus.js to the /yourforumlocation/clientscript folder

Upload lightbox.css into /yourforumlocation/clientscript/vbulletin_css folder

Upload all images into http://www.YOURSITE.com/images

*MAKE SURE ALL PREVIOUS INSTALLATIONS ARE REMOVED AT THIS POINT*
Login to AdminCP -> Styles Templates -> headinclude template

add at the very end.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="clientscript/vbulletin_css/lightbox.css" type="text/css" media="screen,tv" />

Save and close

Next open the postbit_attachmentthumbnail

After <a add

rel="lightbox"

If you want the image overlay, also add (or if you changed the effectclass in lightbox_plus.js use what you changed it to)

class="effects"

Save, and close.

in the postbit_legacy or postbit, place this code at the very top

<script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/lightbox_plus.js"></script>

This should produce similar results to the last one, there is no next or previous buttons though.

Enjoy it.

To Have This LightBox Effect for anything using the [attach]id[/attach] code please do the following file edit:

Open includes/class_bbcode.php, find (around line 1767)

									$replace[] = "<a href=\"{$this->registry->options['bburl']}/attachment.php?{$this->registry->session->vars['sessionurl']}attachmentid=\\1&amp;d=$attachment[dateline]\" $addtarget><img src=\"{$this->registry->options['bburl']}/attachment.php?{$this->registry->session->vars['sessionurl']}attachmentid=\\1&amp;thumb=1&amp;d=$attachment[thumbnail_dateline]\" class=\"thumbnail\" border=\"0\" alt=\""

Replace that with this

									$replace[] = "<a href=\"{$this->registry->options['bburl']}/attachment.php?{$this->registry->session->vars['sessionurl']}attachmentid=\\1&amp;d=$attachment[dateline]\" $addtarget rel=\"lightbox[attachment]\"><img src=\"{$this->registry->options['bburl']}/attachment.php?{$this->registry->session->vars['sessionurl']}attachmentid=\\1&amp;thumb=1&amp;d=$attachment[thumbnail_dateline]\" class=\"thumbnail\" border=\"0\" alt=\""

DEMO: Same as above link, post #14
*Tested on 3.5.4 Only So Far*


Add File Name Caption:
postbit_attachmentthumbnail, after

rel="lightbot[attachment]"

Add This after For filename, filesize and times Downloaded

title="$attachment[filename] - $attachment[filesize] - Downloaded $attachment[counter] times"

Other Variables to put in for a nice effect:
Not sure how to do it with the img code. If you can figure it out please share,

Also i think i fixed the permissions to let guests view, if not let me know

[ryancooper]

Very Cool.

A warning to firefox users it will not show. I spent 10 min. Lookign at the site and thinking wht the heck does this do? Noting looks different to me. Then I went to IE and Wa La it was there. Be-U-Ti-Ful :banana:

Check screen

It does not watermark it by any chance does it. . .


EDIT: I jsut tried it in firefox and it worked! Strange.

Anyway Nice Work!

No for watermark, search for the watermark hack released here by me.

Im using latest version of FireFox, and its all working fine,, not sure of the problem, i'll start investigating and see what i can turn up


Also thanks for the screen caps

make sure you move the mouse over toward the left or right side. images should be placed in the forum images directory like so http://www.yousite.com/forums/images/lightboximages.jpg

hope that does it

[Dr.Viggy]

works for me in FF with no problem but not in IE7 beta2.

as for the prev and next buttons, i couldn't find them initially either but if you move your mouse onto the pic you'll get the prev or next depending on which side of the image you're on.
