SLB Not Working with CGI-fetched Image

Hi, support for nonstandard image URIs can be added using the slb_content_handlers_image_match filter.

See this previous discussion on this topic for more details, including a sample plugin you can use as a starting point.

Cool, looks like this will provide a solution. I’m wondering about the URI format though, is this a regular expression? I’m not exactly sure the formatting to match the URL above. Thanks for your response!

The sample plugin uses regular expressions, but you actually can use any methodology you want to evaluate the URI since the handler function is simply passed the raw URI.

Regular Expressions are intense, but I think I found a lazy one that works. My URL has “CGIProxy.fcgi” in it, so I was able to put in this line in the custom plugin, and it works:

$ptn = '(CGIProxy\\.fcgi)';

Thanks! Solved.

Feature request for the future: would it be easier to create a CSS class that could be applied to images that would force Simple Lightbox to view them? Might be easier than building custom plugins for each image type. Cheers!
