[plugin] [ORPHAN] bas_lightbox (Thumbnail galery with unobtrusive javascript)

coffeepostal · 2006-02-25 02:35:07

I needed to upgrade to 4.0.3, I was running 4.0.1 on that blog, and it didn’t like the plugin, all’s well now!

Thanks Bastian for your help!

Now that’s a nifty plugin, thanks very much bastian. One little question though.

In the caption I would like to have a link to the contact page (which states: like it? contact us or something). However a <a href="contact">contact</a> aint working. This link is partially placed outside the thumb and when clicking it, it opens the original image in the lightbox.

For me this would be a nice to have and nothing more. I can happily work around it. But if there is someone who knows how to achieve this, please let me know

thanks

I followed the install instructions properly and still can’t get this to work. I’m using TXP 4.0.3 and the latest release of this plugin (0.3).

When I click the thumbnail link the full sized image is shown (just the image, no overlay etc). It’s as if the plugin Javascript is being ignored/not working. Javascript is enabled on my browser.

Some help would be appreciated!

It’s mentioned at the bottom of the instructions, thus easy to miss, but the path to the overlay png needs to be changed on two lines in the css.

Maybe that’s it?

Bastian · 2006-03-09 17:23:04

You have editet the plugin? In the first function you have to replace the xxx by images-id.

You included <txp:bas_lightbox_css /> into your head or you included the css from the bottom of the help into your css? With the changes cdtroiano mentioned?

Hi Bastian, another suggestion if I may: It would be good to have the option to display the alt and/or the caption below the thumb image. What do you think?
Have a good weekend,
Thanks,
Lee

the lightbox acts wierdly in Opera 9 build 8265.
anyone noticed same behavior?

maarten · 2006-03-24 13:08:34

As this is related to the CSS supplied with this plugin I’m posting it here. The plugin’s CSS messes up my validation. Anyone experienced the same problem and knows how to get rid of it?

Line: 108 Context : * html #overlay

attempt to find a semi-colon before the property name. add it

Line: 108 Context : * html #overlay

Property progid doesn’t exist : DXImageTransform

Line: 108 Context : * html #overlay

Parse Error – DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src=“http://www.xpressit.nl/images/lightbox_overlay.png”, sizingMethod=“scale”);

Line: 109 Context : * html #overlay

Parse error – Unrecognized : }

maarten, you are right. Lightbox CSS is not valid. Damm IE and its PNG support

But i dont know how to change that. Perhaps the IE & PNG should be handled by JS?

Skubidu · 2006-03-24 16:09:27

You could use conditional comments to serve the invalid CSS only to IE.

Bastian · 2006-03-24 16:40:42

If we think about valid and semantic markup and styling:
Comment-tag should contain comments.

So i would prefer the JS-method. If you come with IE and JS is disabled you get the large-image as link,
if JS enable, you see the large image in a Lightbox, managing PNG support with JS.

maarten · 2006-03-24 17:39:56

I’ve searched the web everywhere to find a CSS solution but couldn’t find one. Don’t know if JS would solve it, goes beyond my knowledge.

Bastian · 2006-03-24 22:23:13

I’ve searched the web everywhere to find a CSS solution but couldn’t find one.

You didn’t find a valid solution to show PNG in IE, because there is none!
Microsoft didn’t implement the alpha-transperency.
You can use this <code>AlphaImageLoader</code> filter, but it’s proprietary and it’s function is limited.

Bastian,Maarten

Have you seen this plugin? It may be of service for what you are talking about. I have a copy somewhere in it’s original form if you would like to have a look.
