New Module: Lightbox

[vyni]

thanks vyni, that looks good, but... how do I use it to show picasa albums?

Exactly the same way as I described for YouTube - video.

You have it installed? Latest Version 03b ?

copy the code and past it in a code2-section, save it and view it.
If You see the viedeo it is ok.

Now view Your picasa-album in a different window - fullsceen. Copy the adress from the adress-line - switch back to the code2-section and replace the url. Save again and You are done.

regards from Himberg.

PS: if You would provide me Your album I could write the code. It would be much easier than explaining.

Anyone know how to add captions to each image so that a short description of the image appears below it?

Thanks!

Konrad

I need to know this as well! How can you add descriptions to images through the backend of WB? Any answer would really be appreciated!

Lightbox uses the image title as description when it is displaying the image.

To do that you need to modify the view.php a bit, and use filenames that is the actual description.
The code below is replacing lines 152-154.

Code: (Original code from view.php)

<?php //this line is for colorcoding only 
if ($img_total > $img_count){
    echo '<a href="' . WB_URL . $gallery_path . $img_list[$img_count] . '" class="lb_image_link" rel="lightbox[' . $gallery_name . ']" title="' . $gallery_name . '"><img class="lb_image" src="' . WB_URL . $thumb_path . $img_list[$img_count] . '" border="0" /></a>';
}    

Code: (Replacement code)

<?php //this line is for colorcoding only - do not add
if ($img_total > $img_count){
    $img_name =  explode(".",$img_list[$img_count]);  //get imagename without extension
    $img_name = str_replace("-"," ",$img_name);       //replace - in the filename
    $img_name = str_replace("_"," ",$img_name);       //replace _ in the filename
    echo '<a href="' . WB_URL . $gallery_path . $img_list[$img_count] . '" class="lb_image_link" rel="lightbox[' . $gallery_name . ']" title="' . $img_name[0] . '"><img class="lb_image" src="' . WB_URL . $thumb_path . $img_list[$img_count] . '" border="0" /></a>';
}    

Now the image name will be in the title field of the image. Lightbox will include that as description.

Ich habe eine Problem mit dem Lightbox2 (ver 0.91d)

Wenn man es im IE aufruft läuft die Slideshow automatisch an ( das ist ja auch so erwünscht)
Aber leider lässt sich das Modul nur mit dem Browser Pfeil "zurück"stoppen.

Ausserdem ist das "next Schild" ganz unten. Siehe Bild:


Hier der Link zum Modul auf der Seite:http://avli.de/pages/restaurant.php

Huii...
beid Deinem Problem kann ich Dir leider keine große Hilfe sein.
Aber einmal dick Lob für das Webdesign aussprechen, das geht.

Hervorragende Arbeit. 

(Da gibt es auch ein Showcase im Forum, solltest Du dringend reinstellen, bitte.)

MfG,

Hai Everybody

Can anyone tell me how I change the language in the Lightbox:
I want to change the words: Bild, von, weiter, Turug, and Stop Bildershow.
I want change these words to the Dutch language.

Thanks!

I've just changed this words to Swedish in lightbox.js line 97-904
I have also made a Swedish language file.

Is there a way to make these words a part of the language file instead of lightbox.js ?

HI I have installed this module, but it doesn´t work, my pictures keep opening in the browser, and not like lightbox!

my website is not lying in the root, so i tought maybe thats my problem, and i tried to change all the paths to (http://...... ) but it didn´t help!

does anyone have a solution?

here is the link to the page:
http://www.summarfestivalur.fo/wb/pages/test.php

[aldus]

As far as i can see, there seems to be a JS error while loding the page

Fehler: $H({animate: true, autoPlay: true, borderSize: 10, containerID: document, enableSlideshow: true, googleAnalytics: false, imageDataLocation: "south", initImage: "", loop: true, overlayDuration: 0.2, overlayOpacity: 0.8, prefix: "", relAttribute: "lightbox", resizeSpeed: 7, showGroupName: false, slideTime: 4, strings: {closeLink: "close", loadingMsg: "loading", nextLink: "next &raquo;", prevLink: "&laquo; prev", startSlideshow: "start slideshow", stopSlideshow: "stop slideshow", numDisplayPrefix: "Image", numDisplaySeparator: "of"}}).merge is not a function
Quelldatei: http://www.summarfestivalur.fo/wb/modules/lightbox2/js/lightbox.js
Zeile: 106

so i gues it could be a path-problem while some JS-Files are not loaded proper.
Teh second one are the embedded SWF-Files that could be causes into problems ... but i'm not sure about this one.

Kind regards
Aldus

[babsy]

ok, thanks.. i'll check this..

UPDATE - problem solved:
i got it to work, my problem was that i also had (smooth gallery in the template).... and those can´t be together...

so now it works after i deleted smooth gallery

[Luisehahne]

I suggest to change all gallery module with jquery

Thanks for yet another great module!

I ran my gallery page through W3C validation and found 2 errors which are both in:
modules/lightbox2/view.php

1) alt tag is missing on the generated image thumbnail. I updated one line of code and have resolved the issue in my file.

EXISTING (line 153 of view.php):
echo '<a href="' . WB_URL . $gallery_path . $img_list[$img_count] . '" class="lb_image_link" rel="lightbox[' . $gallery_name . ']" title="' . $gallery_name . '"><img class="lb_image" src="' . WB_URL . $thumb_path . $img_list[$img_count] . '" border="0" /></a>';

UPDATED:
echo '<a href="' . WB_URL . $gallery_path . $img_list[$img_count] . '" class="lb_image_link" rel="lightbox[' . $gallery_name . ']" title="' . $gallery_name . '"><img class="lb_image" src="' . WB_URL . $thumb_path . $img_list[$img_count] . '" alt="' . $img_list[$img_count] . '" border="0" /></a>';

2) Having the following reference to the style sheet located within a <body></body> is not valid.
EXISTING (line 22 of view.php):
echo '<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="' . WB_URL . '/modules/lightbox2/frontend.css" media="screen" />';

I simply removed this line and included a reference to the style sheet in my main template css with:
@import url("/modules/lightbox2/frontend.css");

I hope that is of some use - they aren't major issues but it's great to validate! I'm not sure how to update the module so I'll leave that to someone more capable.

Why complicated?
If you've included the register_frontend_m odfiles() in your templates index.php it's enough to delete the link from LB's view.php.

[Luisehahne]

Code:

f you've included the register_frontend_modfiles() in your templates index.php

and set it in the head not in body

I've also the problem with missing labels below the picture. Its possible to see the "close" gif, but the others for next and previous are not displayed. But the path for all images is the same in css.

I can't find the bug, but there mus tbe something wrong. Any Idea?

Greetings

Peter

[casi]

hi, i have the same problem, the pictures are not displayed. are there any solutions yet? thanks casi

[Ruud]

The pictures should be loaded.
Without a url of the lightbox with the problem it will be impossible to investigate what the problem is.

If you do not want to give the URL or running it on a local server, just use a tool like Firebug to see what the browser thinks it should load and why it is not loading.

[joop]

Before I'm using this one, I want to know; does this thing also work with subfolders?

Greetz,
Joop

[Ruud]

Sorry. No.

You could try: http://www.websitebakers.com/pages/modules/image-galleries/foldergallery.php

I gave it a short try once. It is not very "stable", but you might be able to get it working for you.

Hello Ruud,

Alles goed?

Thanks for your answer, but found allready another gallery.
I'm using Slideshow2 Gallery with Lightbox.
It's working like a charm!

Thanks again,
Joop

The paths for those images at the bottom are contained in the lightbox.js file rather than the frontend.css file. You can update the paths there.

[neophyre]

Having problems installing the lightbox module... I get "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/tammyann/public_html/temp/unzip/info.php on line 29" after uploading.

Any ideas how to fix this?

[neophyre]

I'm getting this error with all the modules I've tried!
