Excellent work, this will come in handy.

Just amazing. Thanks.

Any chance of an extra attributes called img_cat like:

The idea being images could be allocated an image category. The image category could be used as above or entered in a custom field.

Thanks,
Lee

@lee
good idea, will be included in next version

panik · 2006-02-19 17:42:45

bastian, thanks for your plugin.
do you plan to add “next” and “prev” links next to the overlaid images?
can i easily swap the lightbox sript with lightbox plus? http://serennz.cool.ne.jp/sb/sp/lightbox/

Version 0.2

Added extra attributes called cat like lee suggested

<code><txp:bas_lightbox cat=‘friends’ label=‘On Vacation’ labeltag=‘h2’ wrap=‘ul’ break=‘li’ class=‘thumbs’/></code> Puts out all thumbs within categorie

lee · 2006-02-20 18:36:42

Cheers Bastian, I’ll try it out this evening.

nardo · 2006-02-20 22:27:56

another good one bastian – thanks

can anyone confirm if class attribute is working? doesn’t seem to be anywhere in the generated code?

lee · 2006-02-20 23:04:14

Confirmed, the class attibute is not working.

Bastian, I’d like to make another suggestion, could a custom field be made to hold the cat please. For me this would mean a low tech user wouldn’t need to remember the tag syntax and could easliy create a gallery without any trouble.

Have to say this is probably the best image gallery plugin for TxP so far.

Bastian · 2006-02-20 23:53:00

Thanks lee,
i could integrate a customfield for cat, but not as fast as cat integration. lack of time.

@nardo
Just a minute ago i checked the class attribute. it works!
I use the txp-own doWrap-function: You have to define a wraptag.
<code><txp:bas_lightbox class=‘thumbs’ ></code>
will out put no class, use
<code><txp:bas_lightbox wraptag=“div” class=‘thumbs’ ></code>
and the plugin will wrap the thumbs by an div with class thumbs

The attributes label, labeltag, wraptag, break and class are all empty by default.
Should they have an default value. For example a unordered list with class=“lightbox-thumbs” or something like this?

dododi · 2006-02-21 03:30:46

Great plugin. Thanks for all the excellent work.

I am also unable to find any reference to the thumbs class. are you able to provide the css for the class.

Also I can’t get overlay.png file working. Everything else seems fine but the overlay is not activating.

I have uploaded it and edited the plugin file but the overlay is not appearing. The “close” and “loading” images are appearing fine.

Any ideas on what I might be doing wrong?

Thanks
