Lightbox JS Plugin

    Hi all.. just made a new plugin, i have disabled comments on pages at my blog so here goes the content:

    Description:
    Plugin that turns posted images into neat Javascript-powered overlay popups instead of just linking to the fullsize image. This plugin is based on the cool javascript done by Lokesh Dhakar and transformed by to a plugin for WordPress by me, inspired by Frank from 2d-sign. Enjoy!

    What is it good for?
    It scans your posts for linked images and makes a nice overlay popup out of them. This is much better then linking to a new window oder even open a fullblown javascript popup. This is a neat little thing and shows a small preloader animation before showing the full image. Before i continue to talk about what it is, i better put on some example.

    Example Linked Image
    (( check out at my blog ))

    How to Install?
    1. Just download the zip-file and unpack it into your wordpress plugins-folder.
    2. There is only one thing you need to take care of: Open the “lightbox.js�? and change the absolute path to the loading image and close image. If you don’t do this, then you will get an javascript error and your computer explodes into a million pieces, but then again.. nothin but nothin will happen. So better watch out for this path if you use permalinks. Defaults to “/blog/�? ..
    3. Activate it and you’re done. Browse to a post of yours with an linked image to see if it’s working.

    But did you put “motorcycleramblings.com/blog/” in the wordpress options?

    Otherwise edit the lightbox-plugin.php and change the

    $lightbox_pluginpath = get_settings(‘siteurl’).”/wp-content/plugins/lightbox-plugin”;

    to

    $lightbox_pluginpath = get_settings(‘siteurl’).”/blog/wp-content/plugins/lightbox-plugin”;

    Yes, they are entered in my options as described.

    I looked into get_settings and it seems to me that when you call ‘home’ you get the blog url i.e. motorcyclerablings.com instead of the wp home directory motorcyclerambling.com/blog.

    I searched the codex and tried changing ‘home’ to ‘siteurl’ and it the pluging seems to work now.

    Hi Ment0r,

    I had downloaded lightbox-pluginplus from your site. And after unzipping, uploaded “ligtbox-plugin” directory & “lightbox-plugin.php”, after making following changes in PHP file,

    ( $ lightbox_pluginpath = get_settings(‘siteurl’).”/blog/wp-content/plugins/lightbox-plugin”; ).

    But to no avail. I had then made an additional manual reference in my index.php file for the “.js & .css” files of lightbox.

    But still nothing happen.

    Could you please advice me, my URL: http://www.roks.xmgfree.com/blog

    Are your blog and wordpress directories different like mine.

    Your lightbox is pointing to the blog directory.
    <link rel=”stylesheet” href=”/blog/wp-content/plugins/lightbox-plugin/lightbox.css” type=”text/css” media=”screen” />

    jabash,

    My blog is installed into “/blog” directory. Thus the complete URL is http://www.roks.xmgfree.com/blog

    This is how the blog starts.

    Waiting to hear some positive reply soon.

    I’m surprised I found this via del.icio.us and not these forums but LightBox 2.0 has been added to this plugin.

    check out:

    I havent tried it yet – I’ll wait until others suffer the bleeding edge 😉

    Hope this plugin works well.

    I’m not an expert but I have the same set up and I just changed get_settings parameter. Try reinstalling and just changing that paramenter and nothing else. You might also try the plugin author’s website.

    jabash,

    Thanks for taking out time to reply. Now I have got this beauty into working now. And surprisingly, I did not do anything, not even changes in “lightbox-plugin.php”.

    Just removed the previously uploaded. And re-downloaded Lightbox JS Plus0.5 from Mentor’s site and re-uploaded again.

    And this time I got the plugin listed under Plugin’s section. So, just activated this plugin. And there’s the Lightbox JS Plus v05 rocking.

    Excellent. BTW, when I have problems I only make one change at a time.

    Yes, that’s the way. But right now, I am installing some nicer plugins before starting customization.

    And, don’t know, why the plugin was not listed in dashboard/plugins section.

    But as said, all is well, when end is well.
