I would agree that wrapping these changes up as a plugin would be wonderful (since I’m sure we’re not the only ones to think about this), but I’m not sure if this is actually the venue where we’re supposed to do that.

That brings the question: what is the proper venue for “plugin wanted” types of requests? Obviously we can cite this thread in that request, but not sure exactly where it needs to go.

Actually, I spoke too soon. It works perfectly on the regular editor screen, but not when you take it to fullscreen, unfortunately. That still shows the new box.

I tinkered around with the code a bit based on your suggestion, but unfortunately wasn’t able to come up with anything that worked for fullscreen.

Any ideas?

A.Morita, first of all, thank you for the code.

I put it in, and unfortunately, the button does not work. There’s no link on the button to make the dialog box come up. I got the same result in both Firefox and Chrome. I copied the code with no modification other than adding the obligatory PHP open and close.

That’s awesome, thank you very much! I believe that I can build on this from here. Greatly appreciated!

Your last suggestion of just putting in a bogus rel-attribute worked like a charm. Thank you very much.

As far as features go, I like #1 in your earlier comment, where you add a settings field to blacklist or whitelist certain domains for lightboxing. I think optimally, there should be a setting to have either a whitelist of domains (i.e. only these domains should be lightboxed and nothing else) or a blacklist of domains (i.e. all domains should be lightboxed except for these), and then a text box for the corresponding list. That seems like the best solution, since while the bogus rel-attribute definitely works, it is a little cumbersome, and too easy to forget to set and/or do inconsistently.

Let me know what you think!

Posting the full PHP per an off-board request:

<?php
/*
Template Name: Archives (Site Updates)
*/
?>

<?php get_header(); ?>

<?php get_template_part('sidebar-archives'); ?>

<?php remove_filter ('the_content',  'wpautop'); ?>

<div id="content">

<h2 class="centerparagraph"><?php the_title(); ?></h2>

<?php
global $query_string;
query_posts("post_type=site_updates&post_status=publish&posts_per_page=50");
if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

<p><B><?php the_time('F j, Y'); ?>, <?php the_time('g:i A'); ?></B> – <?php the_content (); ?></p>

<?php endwhile;
endif; ?>

    <div id="updatenavigation">
	<hr />

    <div id="updatenavigationleft">
    <?php next_posts_link('Previous entries') ?>
    </div>

    <div id="updatenavigationright">
	<?php previous_posts_link('Next entries') ?>
    </div>

    </div>

<?php wp_reset_query(); ?>
