Lightbox 2 Wordpress Plugin

Works brilliantly on my WP 2.0.2-installation. Thanks a lot!

hey
i have some trouble with it:
it did some changes (deleted a few slahes), now the overlay image and the real image appears, but as you can see, there’s no clase image… and my blog stylesheet doesnet work anymore oO
have you got an idea?
servus

hm, now i let everything original but now theres nothing

Any thoughts on why I can’t get this to work: http://www.parushni.com/blog/2005/10/14/112929348840251586/

Thanks for getting back to me.
yeah, I know, that’s why I had commented out the part in your .php file that loaded prototype.js, so it wouldn’t be loaded twice… and only the style would load it… but anyway.
But I’ve changed it now to the default style, which has no .js or anything, but now the images will load, but if I’m in Firefox, the little arrow and X graphics dont show up. In IE, the image placeholders show and work as the images should, but in FF 1.5.0.1… nothing… to get out of the screen I have to hit refresh.
Any help is most appreciated.

ah… I understand now… since my blog is not in the base directory… it’s in http://www.parushni.com/blog not, http://www.parushni.com I’m having problems.
I’m not too sure how to fix this since I’m a pretty much new to all this stuff… but I look forward to your new plugin.

Hi Peppe,

thank you, sounds great for me!

Need a lil help wit the plugin. I seem to be having the same problem as ravin but I\’ve checked my options and both URLs are pointing to the correct path.

Solution please?

Cheers.

Weird. I\’m also unsure why the problem is occuring but changing the path did the job. Thanks.

Now I\’m going to see if I can tweak the caption to be on top.

Cheers.

It seems don’t work properly in my blog. But I don’t know what I’ve done wrong. Is there something wrong with my theme？

To Doggie: you have already prototype.js and scriptaculous.js styles in your code.

I opened the duplicate files to see the code, and they’re absolute the same. Then I reduced the duplicate files, but it also doesn’t work.:(

Hi, can you please give me a hint how to define a folder for this image set thing?
On my side i would like either have a folder or have the (roadtrip) feature show all pics tagged with saaya . Is that possible?

Hm, atm i‘ve put the files into the blog directory, it works, but it’s not very elegant, so – what’s new in v1.4?

ah great now it works! thanks a lot!

uhh, shame above me. i deleted the very important function wp_head from the header.php – although the other plugins still worked, lightbox couldn’t – thank you very much for help, Peppe!

there is a problem i found.
For the same img (or a img link),
this pulgin works perfect on my index page. but when i open into a single entry page, and chick the same img link, yes, the pulgin works, but the loading img would disappear.
want the solution plz..

i found out, it is the problem that i have another element within the page has the id name “loading” which is the same as the loading img’s id.

I love this.
I can get most of it to work but the close/next and loading images are not working. Any assistance would be appreciated!

Installed your lighbox plugin on a Wordpress 2.0.1 install, and it mostly works.
The one problem I have is that the overlay doesn’t line up with the image, and thus I can’t see the bottom info or the close button. Is this because the blog stylesheet is interfering with the lightbox one? You can see an example of my problem at http://bitlink.ca/blog/2006/03/13/testing-lightbox/
Can anyone help me solve this?

Hint to others: I found the paths wrong. I had to create the lightbox directory beneath the plugins directory, unpack the archive there, then make an images directory beneath that and move all the gifs there.

Thanks! Les…

Responding to my own post:
I solved the alignment problems by changing the blogs css for img which had 10px margins and padding. And I have Prev and Next buttons, but still no Close button. Permissions and paths all look right. Any thoughts?

First: I love the plugin!

The strange thing is though that every time I write something new or edit something else on my weblog, the HTML of the lightbox pictures changes. It totally screwed up. It changes everything around in the HTML like this:

You’ve got any idea what that is?

You can see here: Lightbox Test Post that I almost have the lightbox plugin working – everything works fine, except the “close” button does not show up. any idea why?

The code didn’t work. Next try:

Only minus the _ everywhere

rel=”lightbox” title=”This is image caption” href=”/images/kat.jpg”
img width=”80″ height=”80″ alt=”This is image title” / href=”/images/kat.jpg”

Just think the and in there

No, its the fact that the HTML-changes and then it doesn’t work. The picture is there now, but when I change something in another posting, then the html-on the posting with the lightbox used changes.

hi peppe,

first, thanks a lot for the plugin!

i had some problems with the lightbox.js because my wordpress installation was in a subdirectory, so the path-vars in line 63 / 64 were not correct and i had to adjust them manually for the images to be loaded. maybe there is a easy possibility to fix this, but i have no clue of js

greetings from vienna!

Thanks for the speedy follow-up, Peppe! The fix did not work for me, but i did get it working. In lines 62 and 63 of lightbox.js I changed the relative links to absolute links to the image files and all works correctly now. FYI: My blog does not sit in my main directory so that is why the fix is needed. I also edited line 13 of lightbox2.php to use the correct path for my installation. This sounds like a similar fix as Janocjapun used above.

Like everybody else says, thanks a million for the great plugin!

Thank for the plugin !! It works great after changing the path in lighbox2.php

The plugin doen’t seem to be working on any of the sites I’m finding it used on, including this page. I’ve checked in IE, FireFox and Opera. On all three the browser goes to the image itself on the server. JavaScript is enabled on all three of my browsers.

beautifully done… thank you for your work.

nice work. but it does not work in wordpress with a wysiwyg editor on. the rel=”lightbox” gets deleted with a wysiwyg editor which makes it a bit unhandy.

First of all: thanks a lot for this nice work!
I modified the lightbox2.php a little bit. Now you don’t have to enter the rel=”lightbox[roadtrip]” by your own, instead the plugin adds this tag:

function lightbox_create($content){
global $post;
$pictureset = $post->ID;
return preg_replace(‘//i’, ‘‘, $content);
}

Have fun and stay well

Oops, the code in the preg_replace() function messed up a little bit! Here is just the piece of code you have to change in there:

Instead of rel=”lightbox[roadtrip]” type rel=”lightbox['.$pictureset.']“

Great work, but the css file couldnt pass the W3C CSS Validation.

Hi,

This plugin looks amazing when workng, however I am having the same problem that Christian h ad. I’ve installed the plugin and activated it and when I added the ref=”lightbox” attribute, then it doesn’t work. What happens is it just opens a new page with my image in it. Any suggestions. http://www.rat-tail.com

i’m not sure how to create an ‘image set’, do i just put a reference to a folder in the rel=”lightbox[foldername]” ?

rat-tail: it’s REL, not REF:
rel=”lightbox”

Duncan: rel=”lightbox[setName]” for each photo. All the links with the same setName will be shown as a set.

eduo:
how exactly do I give links a “setName?”
