New Module: Lightbox

[vyni]

Sorry 

I didn´t realize, that´s the english part.

The theme was: Why doesn´t show up the prev, next, exit - pics. And an information about few css-errors I found in his template.

If someone runs into the same situation I´ll try to explain it too.

For the moment I refuse to translate all the stuff.

But if You press me....

It is impossible unlikely very possible that there are errors in my css!  Point them out to me and I may just fix them.

I realize that the path for the images may be incorrect with the default installation. That is why I included the ability to edit the CSS in the module.

Hi cthamer,
I think it´s not a question of error in css. It depends on the server-settings I guess.
Mostly I don´t have troubles to get the pics immediatly, but sometimes.

So I think it´s just from time to time.

Are You bored, having too much time?

Could You, would You implement this lightbox in an existing module?
I´m beginning to use the module manuals, making some kind of user-pages with it.
In this module a user can make wysiwyg-sections, no more - no less. But they are asked to show fotos and therfore this would be really great to have the ability to click a button:"Which foto do You want to show with ligthbox?".

Do You see a way?

But maybe this must be added to FCK-Editor, like the WB-Link Button?

[cthamer]

Vyni,

Sorry but I am not bored with too much time on my hands. Its quite the opposite. I am a full time programmer with too little time. I am sure what you are asking for can be done though. If you have specific questions on how it might be done I will be happy to answer. You could just paste the lightbox code manually into each page as I have done here as an example. http://wb.thamer.us/pages/manual73/lightbox.php  BTW, this lightbox is another version I did and is a little different as it is draggable.

hi there,... hallo zusammen

what i'm missing and that would be perfekt if this can be implementet to this module is to select the folders under media where the photos are... right now we have to write down the folder by hand and that is for a non web-admin like some of my publisher not that easy to do...
understand???

was ich sagen möchte, für einige benutzer die eine website pflegen (nicht der webadmin) wäre es einfacher, mann könnte den pfad mit einem dropdown auswählen wie bei anderen modulen auch...
sollte doch gehn...

many thanks for your help!

Did you checked if the path to the images is correct?

[Lubeca]

oh sorry for missunderstanding.
the images are shown correctly and everythings works fine.

only below the image the little design error of the close button and the black line within the white border.

if you like have a look on my gallery here

[Boudi]

The gallery is fully original? You made no changes at all on the files itself?

[Lubeca]

yes, that's right. no changes on the files.

[Boudi]

Just try to uninstall the programm and reinstall it?

[Ruud]

Your base.css has a div with the ID "Close".
This same ID is used in the lightbox module (frontend.css).

The solution is to use another ID in your template and base.css for close.

Ruud

[Lubeca]

hmm.
I cannot find this ID in my frontend.css
And also, I willnot find a base.css within the folde \modules\lightbox2

 

[vyni]

Hallo Lubeca,

was Ruud meint:
in Deinem Template gibt es ein div id="close" - bestimmt auch im css zu Deinem Template

das Lightbox-modul hat auch ein div id="close" und auch ein css

das verträgt sich natürlich nicht.

Also: im Template das div umbenennen in xclose und im css dann auch.

Alles klar?

[Ruud]

I would not change the lightbox (frontend) css.
You would need to hack the javascript code also. Update to future versions would give your gallery the same problems again.

In your template (index.php), below the footer, the is a part that says:

Code:

<div id="close">
</div><!-- // #close site -->

In your base.css there is a part that says:

Code:

div#close {
    clear: both;
    height: 9px;
    padding: 0 0 0 0;
    color: #333;
    background: #444444 url(images/chiusura.gif) no-repeat 0 0;
}

It is used to display the grey bottom image of your site. You also see that in the screenshots you gave. That grey line left of the "close X" image should not be there.

If you change both "close" words to "closethis" (or something else, as long as it is the same in both files) your Lightbox will work as it should.

Do not try to find this in the lightbox, everything in there is dynamically generated, so you won't easily find that in there.

[Lubeca]

Now I got you Ruud - thank you very much !!

Danke auch Dir vyni

It works fine !!

[vyni]

Aber bitte, kein Problem.

Nur eine Kleinigkeit noch: Deine Bilder mit 300kb pro Datei sind einfach zu groß (zu lange Ladezeit) Lass sie ersteinmal (vom  JAlbum -??) durch einen Kompressor laufen 

LG aus Himberg

english: You´r welcome. Just one thing. Your photos with filesize 300kb each are too big (loadingtime is too high) Make a compression first.

[Lubeca]

Oh yes. For this album you're right. These are too big.
Have a look to the next, "Norwegen 2008"
This images are better.

I would change the "Rhodos" images

Thanks !!

hi there
I used this module recently and it´s a great module. Works fine and it´s very simple. Now to the point...

Is it possible to modify this module to show picasa albums? Or: Is it possible to modify any other WB image gallery module to show picasa albums?

Any ideas?

[vyni]

Hi,


if Your picasa-album is accessible like a YouTube-video You could
try out this one.

Hi everybody,

now a blind man will start talking about colors. 

I am always happy getting valid pages. And it seems, I am not the only one, because this was the reason for the "frontend.css". This lightbox-module by Christian Thamer (newest version? http://www.websitebaker2.org/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=7822.0;attach=2369) is using a frontend.css, but the code of my page was not valid. And it didn't matter, if the gallery was in a section or if it was a pure gallery-page. The validator found two errors.

The first was a missing alt-tag, so I inserted <code>alt=""</code> in line 153 of view.php. Easy, even for me. 

The second error was caused by

Code:

echo '<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="' . WB_URL . '/modules/lightbox2/frontend.css" media="screen" />';

in line 22 of view.php. So I deleted it. The gallery still works and my page was "was successfully checked as XHTML 1.0 Transitional!" 

But, as I told you in the beginning, I am really "a blind man talking about colors".

So what do PHP-Pros say to the deleted code-part? Necessary or not? "frontend.css" only should be in the header or am I totally wrong?

Best regards from Germany

Uwe

Edit: CSS-validation also failes. But there you have to choose between effects or validation.

[sparkdigital]

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

Thanks!

Konrad

[groloff]

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