lightbox in smf gallery lite. is it possible?

[clarkkent93]

I was hoping somebody would be able to help me with this.  I really like the lightbox effect that I've had in other sites that I've done and was wondering how hard it would be to do with SMF Gallery.  Is there someone willing to take a look at it to see if it's feasible?

Thanks.

I currently do not how to create that affect. I would need to research it. Currently busy with some projects.

[clarkkent93]

I've done some research using Google of all things.  One site has used SMF Gallery (I don't know if it's Lite or Pro).  I have the website so here it is: http://www.haus23.de/forum/index.php?action=lightbox as well as Lightbox JS

This might give you that jumpstart that you were looking for!  It would definitely make your mod over the top!

Let me know what I can do to help.  I'm not a coder but I'm willing to test it.  I'll do what needs to be done to make this work!  I look forward to hearing back on this one.

Looks like a nice script. Just trying to think where would I put it to use?

[clarkkent93]

i'm just trying to figure out how to add it like the site in the previous post.

[SMFHacks]

Adding it is easy. Just a couple of javascript calls toa dd. Just not sure where it would look good.

i like how the one site had smf gallery where all categories were immediately shown and you had the option to filter down to specific categories.  is there a way that i can modify mine that way?  would you be able to walk me through?

as far as lightbox is concerned, most of the members of my site would rather have the lightbox effect when clicking on the thumbnail instead of going to a different page for the full-size picture.  i hope that makes sense.

I would like this to, or if there is another way to show full size images so that they won't break the template of the site. Maybe in a popup or a new window. Now i let users use a maximum width of 864px but most people render in larger resolutions. Hope there is a way to do this, oh i use gallery pro

[SMFHacks]

That is something planned for the next release of SMF Gallery.

Ok
Hope that's soon lol, well we know it's in the works then so we will wait

I used this script from dynamic drive


Added p.filename to the query

Code: [Select]

      //Show the pictures
      $dbresult = db_query("SELECT p.ID_PICTURE, p.commenttotal, p.filesize, p.views, p.filename, p.thumbfilename, p.title, p.ID_MEMBER, m.memberName, m.realName, p.date, p.description FROM {$db_prefix}gallery_pic as p, {$db_prefix}members AS m WHERE  p.ID_MEMBER = m.ID_MEMBER  AND p.ID_CAT = $cat AND p.approved = 1 ORDER BY ID_PICTURE DESC", __FILE__, __LINE__);

Then changed the link for the thumbnail like so:

Code: [Select]

//commenting out old link and adding new one.
/*       echo '<td align="center"><a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=gallery;sa=view;id=' . $row['ID_PICTURE'] . '"><img src="' . $modSettings['gallery_url'] . $row['thumbfilename']  . '" border="0" /></a><br />'; */
         echo '<td align="center"><a href="' . $modSettings['gallery_url'] . $row['filename']  . '" rel="lightbox"><img src="' . $modSettings['gallery_url'] . $row['thumbfilename']  . '" border="0" /></a><br />';

Hi!

Does anyone know how to install lightbox in the attached images in SMF? I've tried using the "rel" command in the "a href" link code displayed in Display.template.php for attachments with thumbnail but couldn't get it work . Has anyone had success with it?

 ???Sorry I am a newbie, could you pls give us the specified direction of how to make lightbox effect available in SMF Gallery. Thanks very much

Ok, I got to do it... not in Gallery but in "regular" SMF attached images.

It's quite simple actually: just modify index.template.php with the lightbox script and then on display.template.php you have to put rel="lightbox" somewere in the link that is created from those attached thumbnails.

It works perfectly... in fact, I even changed it later to Slimbox to be lighter

Do you have a link to a forum with it in use just want to see how it looks
