[GKDantas]

I would like if the guys that know PHP and others language could speak in the newbie language... something like: install this in this direcorty, find this in this file and change to this...
Sorry but the way tjhat all post make we almost the time do wrong things in ours gallery.

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

Check my signature.

As for the code, it's quite simple...

Open index.template.php and put the "script" code that is on the installation instructions in Lightbox website... make sure the paths are correct to the Lightbox package that you have to upload (with the directories with images, .js and .css files).

Then open display.template.php and in the part of attachments with thumbnail modify the link and put somewhere rel="lightbox".

I can do a step-by-step manual, but you have to show me where do you get stuck.

I can leave a link of a specific post so it will be faster to find a picture to open it

Sorry to revive an old post. I started this site but never got around to finishing it.
I'm not a programmer and not smart enough to figure out how get the next image part of lightbox to work.

Anyway... as requested. http://houstoncanine.com/index.php?action=gallery;cat=4

I would love to see this included as a feature in gallery.

I added it but only in the pro verison

There is a lightbox option in gallery pro?

[SMFHacks]

I currently use highslide which I found out is a little different than lightbox script it self.

But if needed I can create a lighbox mod for the gallery.

Just added a lightbox mod to the gallery for the pro edition

Could you add it to the Lite version as well... I'm using the highslide for the thumbnails in the attachments and I'm quite happy with the performance, better than the lightbox. 

Thanks in advance!!

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've managed to get "integrate lightbox v1.4" to work with the SMF Gallery Lite version.
Funny part is that I went back to using it without lightbox due to the fact that lightbox doesn't let you view details of the picture or add comments and such.
I'm working on modifying the gallery code a bit to add an extra link under images that says "view with lightbox", while leaving the thumbnail href behavior in the gallery mod's control.



From the "/Themes/Default" directory, find the file "gallery.template.php"

In the 'gallery.template.php' file, find:


Code: [Select]
echo '<td align="center"><a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=gallery;sa=view;id=' . $row['ID_PICTURE'] . '">
replace with:


Code: [Select]
echo '<td align="center"><a href="' . $modSettings['gallery_url'] . $row['filename']  . '" rel="lightbox">
I'm also using a I love SMF version of lightbox.js which resizes the image to fit the users specific screensize and allows you to click anywhere on the screen to close the preview.
I've attached it - but I make no promises!

I'm looking into the smf gallery pro to see how lightbox has been integrated.

Thanks for the Gallery mod -  I like it alot!

Cool, Thanks, I'll give it a try. Thanks for doing this! SMFHacks probably has no time for this kind of little things and tweaks of the free version.

Could you later show me an example of how are you working around it?
Thanks a lot!
