[Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] “Full size” link/description missing from thickbox

Which plugins have you activated ?

List here: link

I think the new ones I was messing with were the Ajaxed WordPress (disabled), comment quicktags (disabled), ajax edit comments (enabled), tinymcecomments (disabled).

Disable other plugins, one of them integrate the thickbox version of the wordpress admin section and normally this should be not done…

Ok, it was the wp-ajax-edit-comments that was apparently causing it.

Is there any way to make them play nice together? I don’t understand how one plugin could be affecting another like that. :\

Also, it’s still not display the image description when clicking on a thumbnail.

Now I have the same error… no describtion or “full” link.
It’s the ajax-comment-plugin too…

Is there a chance for a fix?

gregma asked me to have a look at it (altough all mentioned plugins have nothing to do with me). Here’s what I found:

alexrabe did mention it already (thanks, timesaver):

wp-ajax-edit-comments is including the thickbox CSS from the WP Admin section (version 2.1.0.0, wp-ajax-edit-comments.php, line 1004). Also, lines 964 – 968 are IMHO unnecessary and should be changed/removed by the plugin author.

I believe a quick fix (untested!) would be to include the ngg-gallery version of the ‘thickbox.css’ stylesheet just before the head-tag (wp-plugins/nextgen-gallery/thickbox/thickbox.css) but after wp_head().

If that doesn’t help, contact the author of wp-ajax-edit-comments (https://www.raproject.com/ajax-edit-comments-20/).

HTH

lol, thanks for your help flowdrops…
No idea why I thought that you’re the author ??

Well, I tested your idea, didn’t work.
So I hope that somebody else has a good idea!!

Hello all.
I’m the plugin author of Ajax Edit Comments.

For JS issues, I’ve ran into a conflict with NGG over their thickbox script. In the latest version, I actually disable the thickbox.js file that’s included with NGG since it would load the script twice. A fix would be for the plugin author to use the one supplied with WP 2.5 and up, and use the NGG version for lower versions.

For CSS issues, I haven’t heard about this one before. For 2.113, you can disable the CSS by commenting out line 1006.

Please let me know if that fixed it. I’ll work on a fix from my end in the meantime.

Hello,

unfortunately to comment out the CSS didn’t help…

Okay, here’s what’s going on. Feel free to contact the NGG author about this, as there’s not much I can do about the compatibility issues on my end.

The author of NGG is loading a custom version of the thickbox.js file and assigning it a unique queue identifier when loading via the WordPress script system. The issue is, I’m also trying to load WordPress 2.5 and 2.6 built-in thickbox script. When that occurs, you get overlapping boxes when launching a NGG image.

What I tried before was detect when the NGG script is present, and use that one instead of the built-in code. However, it’s compacted code, and I can’t call the individual functions without running into issues.

What I’ve done is detected the NGG script, deregistered it, and used the built-in WP 2.5+ script.

The problem that you are all experiencing is that the NGG author has modified the thickbox script for his plugin, but my plugin is disabling this custom version.

The fix would be, that I detect the NGG script, and use it. However, we’re now back to the compacted code, which I can’t use.

For those wondering why I need to call a function in the thickbox.js, it’s for blogs that have 300+ comments. I’d rather have the thickbox initialize on a per-event basis rather than on the page load (a significant speed increase). So there’s really no way I can get away with using a compacted thickbox.js script.

As of right now, there’s no solution except either to a) leave everything as is, or b) deactivate Ajax Edit Comments.

Thank you all.

Hello,

I found a workaround. The author does supply an uncompressed version, so I just copied it over to my plugin and wrote the appropriate support code.

Please try 2.1.1.5
https://downloads.www.ads-software.com/plugin/wp-ajax-edit-comments.2.1.1.5.zip

If this works for you, please consider a high rating or a donation for the work that went into the compatibility fix.

PS: If this does work, I will release this as an official version.

Hi Guys,

with WP2.5 I renamed the script loader from “thickbox” to “ngg-thickbox” because otherwise I can’t load my own “loading icon”.
(I never get response to my ticket in trac https://trac.www.ads-software.com/ticket/5937)

Anyway, i will remove thickbox from core in the next major version, because i see the problems with other plugin , like ronalfy descriped above…

Until that you can switch the effect in gallery -> option to “Custom“, but leave the code line to class="thickbox" rel="%GALLERY_NAME%"

In this case it doesn’t add the thickbox script and it can be used from any other plugin or effect loader.

Hope this will help out…

Yesss…. Now everythign works fine! Great :-))

@alex,

You could do what I did with AEC and your loading image issue.

The variables have global scope, so I just included them at the top of my JavaScript file, added the thickbox.js as a dependency, and overwrote the variables to my image paths.

In your case, you’ll probably want to declare a dummy JS file and overwrite the variables using that. Of course, you’ll also want to overwrite mine as well. Not quite sure how to do that unless you include some nice conditional statements that detect AEC.

There is a very small hack for this.

1. Open any FTP client which you like.
2. Go to your website’s public_html folder and then proceed to wp-includes >> js >> thickbox.
3. Open thickbox.js in edit mode.
4. Search for “TB_PrevHTML + TB_NextHTML” it is in line 129.
5. Just before this, add from here

“&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=’” + url + “‘ id=’TB_FullSize’ title=’Full
Size’>Full Size&nbsp;&nbsp;” +

till up here.
6. Save the file and check the thickbox by clicking an image in gallery of your website.

Also I have added this in my blog here
