Lightbox 2 WordPress Plugin

cozi:

Hi,
I’m trying to get this great plug in for my site and followed the steps exactly. However I can’t get the lightbox working and opens a new window for all images. You can try the linked imgs from

http://www.arkyacht.com/?page_id=134 .

I see the js firing when loading the page but the rest is not functioning. Any chance this is due to new version of WordPress 2.8.6 I’m using?
Thanks in advance!

For anyone having problems with Lightbox, using WP 2.8.6 and have followed all steps correctly, on a previous post I found the solution thanks to Stuart. here it is!!! Simple!

I had the same problem. I activated version 2.0.2 of the plugin on my WordPress 2.8.5 blog, and it didn’t work, even though I had images with the rel=”lightbox” attribute set.

I looked at the HTML code for my webpage, and saw that the Lighbox JavaScript files were not being included in my header.

Inspecting the source code for the plugin (in /plugins/lightbox-2-wordpress-plugin/lighbox.php), I found the following line of code:
$lightboxoffmeta = get_post_meta($post->ID,’lightboxoff’,true);
if ($lightboxoffmeta == “false”) {
echo ‘ lb_path = “‘ . $lightboxpluginpath . ‘lightbox/”; lb_opacity= “‘ . $lightboxlb_opacity . ‘”; lb_resize= “‘ . $lightboxlb_resize . ‘”;’.”\n”;
echo ”.”\n”;
echo ”.”\n”;
echo ”.”\n”;
echo ”.”\n”;
echo ‘#overlay {background-color:’ . $lightboxcolor1 . ‘;}’.”\n”;
}

The plugin seems to be looking for post metadata (lightboxoff=false) before it will write the JavaScript to the header.

I changed the line of code to:
if ($lightboxoffmeta == “”) {
…and now it works fine.

Hi! Thanks for the plugin. Im using it on WP 2.8.6, but im having problems. I selected the plugin to work on all pages of my website (home, categories, posts, archive, etc…) put it just wont on posts and pages!

I tried to modify the code, but i didn’t really undestand it. What can i do? I just want it to work everywhere!

The automatic lightboxing is broken with this plugin as well as with Slimbox.

Ciao

Sto provando ad installare il plugin per l’utilizzo della lightbox nelle gallerie di wordpress, ma il javaScript va in errore al momento del caricamento della pagina. L’errrore sembra relativo alla gestione degli eventi nel file prototpe.js. Potrebbe essere un problema relativo a conflitti con altri script (tipo mootools per la gestione di un menu) o tubepress?

I am having problems with the light box. If you go to the following page link:

http://www.rhinorubystudios.com/pricing-plans/themes/

and click on that screen shot image a window pops up, but does not show the image I linked to but instead shows the theme template of my website!?!

I appreciate your assistance with this.

Thank you! Grazie!

Hi! I’m having issues getting this plugin to work as well. On the homepage it doesn’t seem to work at all. When enabled and I go to a single-post page, it leaves a big black box at the top of the screen, and then the lightbox doesn’t even display correctly (box far too big for the image, buttons not loading, etc.).

For now I’ve just disabled the plugin but I’d love to know how I could get this work! I’m using Google Chrome for Mac, for what it’s worth. Also, I’ve tried Stuart’s fix, but all that does is leave a big black box on my homepage, with the same problems I’m currently having on single-post pages.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello…great plug-in! Noticed an issue: can set functionality in every section EXCEPT “Older Entries”. Works fine on the home page, but if I go to the second page of listings, the plug-in does not work.

Thanks,
ERik
