[Plugin: Wp-Table Reloaded] lightbox images

Hi,

how is the Lightbox effect invoked?
Do you manually add something like rel="lightbox" to the HTML of images or hyperlinks, or is this done via JavaScript?
If you manually need to add that HTML argument, you will also have to do so in the links/images within the table.

Which Lightbox plugin are you using?

Regards,
Tobias

Thanks Tobias. I’m using Lightbox plus and I don’t have to do anything to the images, they just automatic get lightboxed so I guess it’s done via Javascript.

Hi,

thanks for the plugin name. I just checked it out.
The rel code from above is added through a filter on the post content. Unfortunately, that filter runs before Shortcodes (including the [table] Shortcode) are executed. Because of that, images in tables are not recognized by the plugin.

However, this can easily be fixed with a slight change in the “Lightbox Plus” plugin.
Please open the file “lightboxplus.php” in the “lightbox-plus” folder and change line 138 from

add_filter( 'the_content', array( &$this, 'filterLightboxPlusReplace' ) );

to

add_filter( 'the_content', array( &$this, 'filterLightboxPlusReplace' ), 12 );

(note the 12 at the end, which will tell WordPress to execute that filter function after WordPress Shortcodes are evaluated).

Best wishes,
Tobias

I’ll sort that in the morning.

Tobias you really are a star for helping with this sort of thing – way beyond what I’d expect. I appreciate your help and you can expect another donation once my client signs off this latest site!

PS: Such a little change I couldn’t help trying it tonight – that works a treat!

Hi,

awesome! ?? Great to hear that this worked so nicely!

(Just a reminder: You likely will have to re-apply that tiny change whenever the Lightbox Plus plugin gets an update.)

And thanks for your willingness to donate, I really appreciate it!

Best wishes,
Tobias
