I did try that, with the / and without it, but both won’t work. :c

Hmmm, any other diagnostics or hints then from Firebug? Is it definitely finding all the js and css files? If you View Source you can often click on the links to the js/css files and it should load them. If it drops you to a 404 then that’ll be why and your paths still need fixing. If that’s not it then, without being able to see a URL to your page, I’d be just guessing I’m afraid.

Re: smd_slimbox

Sorry for all that. I kept reading “report” as “reply”. haha xD so sorry

I used slimbox before I switched to slimbox2, which I didn’t know has a separate file for me to download (jquery.js). I just uploaded the missing file and slimbox2 is working now. Thanks!

I have two other problems though. It’s not the plugin but slimbox2 itself.

1. At this sample page only half of the image appears on popup. Nothing appears if you don’t hover the mouse on either side of the image. I found three issues like this one on google, but none of them were answered.

2. I’ve been editing loop and counterText on the slimbox2.js file (under the SRC folder) but nothing changes. Am I editing the right file?

I know I can get help from the slimbox help site, but they have a weak support group over there. Hope you don’t mind outside issues.

Thank you so much :D

On line 17 of you default stylesheet you’ve defined the background color for a:link, a:visited, a:active with #FFF. Remove that or make it more specific so it doesn’t affect the lightbox.

Yay. That solved it. Thank you Uli. :3

Re: smd_slimbox

Hi all. I’m having the same problem as a previous poster. When the image loads it’s only display half of it? I have up to date versions of all browsers and running OS X Lion. Seems that Safari is good, but Chrome and Firefox are playing up.

Any ideas?

Re: smd_slimbox

Hey, just remove the background color of your links. That should do the trick. ;-)

Thanks for the reply. I don’t think I have a background colour on the links?

Ahhh I was using Slimbox v1 — have now updated to v2 and it’s fine.

Re: smd_slimbox

Hi,

I’m new to TXP, having just taken over a site. Adding Slimbox2 via smd_slimbox is the first thing I’ve done.
I’ve managed to get Slimbox2 working fine with this in my form:
<txp:smd_slimbox category="xmas_cards" imagecaption="?caption" thumbsize="65,65" />

However I want to make it easy to add further slideshows without having to make a separate form for each new category of images. So I created a custom field in my article template called “slideshow category”. In the Xmas cards article this is filled in as “xmas cards” in the hope I could do this:

<txp:smd_slimbox category="<txp:custom_field name="slideshow category" />" imagecaption="?caption" thumbsize="65,65" />

Doesn’t work, I get every image on the site in the slideshow. Is there an issue here, or do I have some sort of brain error? Is there a better way? We are on a fairly old version of TXP 4.1.something, scared to upgrade.

Incidentally I am using the slidshow version of Slimbox2 (runs through images on a timer) from http://www.wmiles.com/2011/10/slimbox2-slideshow – works wonderfully, though I had to minify it before it worked.

Re: smd_slimbox

Tags as tag’s values must be surrounded by single quotes:

<txp:smd_slimbox category='<txp:custom_field name="slideshow category" />' imagecaption="?caption" thumbsize="65,65" />

From there things will, at least, be easier.

Edit: Hasty again! Can’t tell any more if custom fields in category will work, it’s been too long.

Re: smd_slimbox

Are spaces allowed in custom field names? According to an FAQ

It’s a good idea to use a name that is lowercase and contains no spaces.
