New Module: Lightbox

[cthamer]

Module Lightbox - for WB 2.6.x

Purpose:  This modules adds support for the Lightbox image gallery Javascript to Website Baker.

Installation: Download the ZIP and install it in the Websitebaker Administration (Add-ons -> Modules -> Install Module).

It is intended to be easy to use. To use it create a new page of the type "Lightbox". All the settings are on the Modify Page and should be self explanatory. Thumbnails will be created the first time the page is viewed.

Compatibility: I've tested it on IE 7 on Windows, in FF 2.0.0.9 on Windows .

does this Mod allow you to add a Lightbox image to any page or just a page if it's own?

[cthamer]

Currently it just allows you to create a lightbox page. You can't add a lightbox section to an existing page.

You can see an example of it in action at: http://www.thamer.us/wb/pages/lb.php.

The module link in the original posting has been updated to reflect a couple of bug fixes such as comments left on in the output and an incorrect path setting for the GD class.

I was looking for a lightbox module and this does the trick. cheers.

I do have one problem though...

In IE the prev/next/close buttons show up but in Firefox they don't show up.

Any clues?

Hi Christian

Great! I love your module!

Suggestion: The default values of "number of columns" and "number of rows" are 0. If somebody forgets to modify them the module isn't working and he gets a php warning...
Warning: Division by zero in /home/www/web111/html/wb/modules/lightbox/view.php on line 139
To avoid this you could set the default values to 1 or check if the values of $img_rows or $img_columns > 0

the prev/next/close graphics are now working after I changed the paths in the css.

Thanks for the tip, I will change it to default to 4 col 3 row which seems like a reasonable start. In addition I set the default thumbnail width to 100. The download has been updated in my original post.

be aware that this module conflicts with another lightbox module.  the problem is they both use the same directory name, and table names.

Please make a change to this one so we can run them both.

Ok, I have updated the code so that it won't conflict with the other module. See the original post for the file. Let me know if you have any problems as I don't have that other module installed.

But where can i change the language of this module?

[cthamer]

I did not add any support for extra languages as I just didn't have the time.

You may have to be logged in to see the link in the original post. I added it to the main text as well but you will still have to log in to download it.

Yep, that did it. I registered just to post and didn't think to look for that.

running into some problems with the usage of this  module. when i use the code the way it is, clicking on images does not open a lightbox, it just navigates to the image in the browser.

when i replace the 3 <script> lines in the code with direct links to the scriptaculous/prototype/lightbox libraries on your demo site, it will work.

stumped, and its 5pm on my workday, which could be the reason im relucatant to try anyt further debugging...

any ideas?

[gmiernicki]

DOUBLE POST!   

Im taking this module and gonna mash it up with another for a new gallery, more news next week
