Lightbox JS Plugin

  • Hi all.. just made a new plugin, i have disabled comments on pages at my blog so here goes the content:

    Description:
    Plugin that turns posted images into neat Javascript-powered overlay popups instead of just linking to the fullsize image. This plugin is based on the cool javascript done by Lokesh Dhakar and transformed by to a plugin for WordPress by me, inspired by Frank from 2d-sign. Enjoy!

    What is it good for?
    It scans your posts for linked images and makes a nice overlay popup out of them. This is much better then linking to a new window oder even open a fullblown javascript popup. This is a neat little thing and shows a small preloader animation before showing the full image. Before i continue to talk about what it is, i better put on some example.

    Example Linked Image
    (( check out at my blog ))

    How to Install?
    1. Just download the zip-file and unpack it into your wordpress plugins-folder.
    2. There is only one thing you need to take care of: Open the “lightbox.js?? and change the absolute path to the loading image and close image. If you don’t do this, then you will get an javascript error and your computer explodes into a million pieces, but then again.. nothin but nothin will happen. So better watch out for this path if you use permalinks. Defaults to “/blog/?? ..
    3. Activate it and you’re done. Browse to a post of yours with an linked image to see if it’s working.

  • That is how I have it set up. motorcycleramblings.com take you to my blog although it is installed in /blog

    No what ??

    But did you put “motorcycleramblings.com/blog/” in the wordpress options?

    Otherwise edit the lightbox-plugin.php and change the

    $lightbox_pluginpath = get_settings(‘siteurl’).”/wp-content/plugins/lightbox-plugin”;

    to

    $lightbox_pluginpath = get_settings(‘siteurl’).”/blog/wp-content/plugins/lightbox-plugin”;

    Yes, they are entered in my options as described.

    I looked into get_settings and it seems to me that when you call ‘home’ you get the blog url i.e. motorcyclerablings.com instead of the wp home directory motorcyclerambling.com/blog.

    I searched the codex and tried changing ‘home’ to ‘siteurl’ and it the pluging seems to work now.

    Hi Ment0r,

    I had downloaded lightbox-pluginplus from your site. And after unzipping, uploaded “ligtbox-plugin” directory & “lightbox-plugin.php”, after making following changes in PHP file,

    ( $ lightbox_pluginpath = get_settings(‘siteurl’).”/blog/wp-content/plugins/lightbox-plugin”; ).

    But to no avail. I had then made an additional manual reference in my index.php file for the “.js & .css” files of lightbox.

    But still nothing happen.

    Could you please advice me, my URL: https://www.roks.xmgfree.com/blog

    Hi there,

    Eagerly waiting for reply.

    Are your blog and wordpress directories different like mine.

    Your lightbox is pointing to the blog directory.
    <link rel=”stylesheet” href=”/blog/wp-content/plugins/lightbox-plugin/lightbox.css” type=”text/css” media=”screen” />

    jabash,

    My blog is installed into “/blog” directory. Thus the complete URL is https://www.roks.xmgfree.com/blog

    This is how the blog starts.

    Waiting to hear some positive reply soon.

    Need help to run this fantastic plugin. Still waiting for response.

    I’m surprised I found this via del.icio.us and not these forums but LightBox 2.0 has been added to this plugin.

    check out:

    I havent tried it yet – I’ll wait until others suffer the bleeding edge ??

    Hope this plugin works well.

    Hello!

    anybody listening, still waiting for the solution to run this fantastic plugin. My URL is https://www.roks.xmgfree.com/blog

    I’m not an expert but I have the same set up and I just changed get_settings parameter. Try reinstalling and just changing that paramenter and nothing else. You might also try the plugin author’s website.

    jabash,

    Thanks for taking out time to reply. Now I have got this beauty into working now. And surprisingly, I did not do anything, not even changes in “lightbox-plugin.php”.

    Just removed the previously uploaded. And re-downloaded Lightbox JS Plus0.5 from Mentor’s site and re-uploaded again.

    And this time I got the plugin listed under Plugin’s section. So, just activated this plugin. And there’s the Lightbox JS Plus v05 rocking.

    Excellent. BTW, when I have problems I only make one change at a time.

    Yes, that’s the way. But right now, I am installing some nicer plugins before starting customization.

    And, don’t know, why the plugin was not listed in dashboard/plugins section.

    But as said, all is well, when end is well.

    I’ve compressed the JS library used for Lightbox 2.
