LightBox JS for Fullsize Popup Image

[Gizmo]

This afternoon I posted a hack for a different type of popup window for the fullsize image using the GreyBox-http://amix.dk/greybox/demo.html script at http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php?topic=35530.0. I've been trying to incorporate the LightBox script but had a few issues passing the popup image variable to LightBox since it needs to have an image file ending in .gif or .jpg (maybe others as well) and the method used in the function theme_html_picture() wasn't working. After nearly choking on my steak at dinner, I thought of passing the information to a new variable and using this method worked as planned.  You can check it out here by clicking on any intermediate image to get the popup - http://www.bullseyephotos.com/gallery/index.php?theme=OrangeSky_LB.

So on with the good stuff.
Step 1: Download the LightBox JS v2.02 scripts from http://www.huddletogether.com/projects/lightbox2/ and follow the instructions for setting up the files.

Step 2: Paste this code into your theme.php. If you already have the function theme_html_picture() in your theme.php, at the end I've shown only the parts I've modified. You'll have to test it to make sure they work with any modifications you may have.

I think this is even cooler than the GreyBox hack since it allows for smoother scrolling if the image doesn't fit completely in the browser window. As I said in the other post, I'm not a solid PHP coder and Coppermine Guru so I'm hoping a more experienced user or Dev will have a look and make sure the method I've used is solid and safe.

Many thanks go out to Lokesh Dhakar who developed this code so please support him with an email or a donation at http://www.huddletogether.com/projects/lightbox2/#contact.

I love the lightbox look and I'm using it myself on my joomla powered site. Unfortunately it's a pain to do the slideshow with it... at least with bigger albums.

[volcanina]

I love it! Install is easy, effect is great, and I get rid of the pop-up I always hated. Thanks Gizmo!

[-|wayne|-]

yes this does look cool !!  nice work

you say easy to instal!   

can you tell how to please

ive read everthing and i have dl the files.... but where do i put them? which folder?

and where to do i paste the code in the theme.php? top, bottom, between where?

thx in advance.........

[Gizmo]

Wayne Dude... lay off the caffeine!

1. Download the LightBox JS files from the above link

2. Copy the js & css folders to your theme folder

3. Copy the images from the LightBox JS image folder to your theme/images folder

4. Add this code to the head section of your template.html file and change the directories to match yours

<link rel="stylesheet" href="themes/your_theme_folder/css/lightbox.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="themes/your_theme_folder/js/prototype.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="themes/your_theme_folder/js/scriptaculous.js?load=effects"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="themes/your_theme_folder/js/lightbox.js"></script>


5. Paste this code before the ?> at the end of your theme.php file

Hello!

I tried to install it in my CG but the image stays very big.

How can i reduce the size of it?

[-|wayne|-]

thx Gizmo... 

the images arent showing though!  The close and loading ones.

i have tried editing the lightbox.js with that showed:

Code Select Expand

var fileLoadingImage = "/images/loading.gif";
var fileBottomNavCloseImage = "/images/closelabel.gif";

and replaced with

Code Select Expand

var fileLoadingImage = "photos/themes/mac_ox_x/images/loading.gif";
var fileBottomNavCloseImage = "photos/themes/mac_ox_x/images/closelabel.gif";

but didnt make any difference?

any ideas,

thx again!  a happy poster 

[rphMedia]

the images arent showing though!  The close and loading ones.

You need to put the lightbox images in your   ...gallery root/images/ folder.

Another nice one Gizmo !


Just a little tid-bit...

If you want to close the image by just a "click to close", find in lightbox.js:

Code Select Expand

var objLightbox = document.createElement("div");
objLightbox.setAttribute('id','lightbox');
objLightbox.style.display = 'none';
// Add the next line
objLightbox.onclick = function() { myLightbox.end(); return false; }

cool thx......

OK... in my original post I said to follow the instructions for installing the LightBox JS scripts and now I remember why. I didn't want to have to write out all the details but seems I better do so since I left a few items out last night. So below are all the details to completely install this script. It's easy so don't let this put you off from trying it.

Step 1. Backup your theme folder!

Step 2. Create a folder called lightbox in your theme folder.

Step 3. Download the LightBox JS v2.02 scripts from http://www.huddletogether.com/projects/lightbox2/.

Step 4. Extract the css, images & js folders into the newly created lightbox folder.

Step 5. In the js folder, edit lightbox.js to point to the correct image folder path for the loading and closelabe images.
Find

Code Select Expand


var fileLoadingImage = "images/loading.gif";
var fileBottomNavCloseImage = "images/closelabel.gif";


Change to

Code Select Expand


var fileLoadingImage = "themes/your_theme/lightbox/images/loading.gif";
var fileBottomNavCloseImage = "themes/your_theme/lightbox/images/closelabel.gif";


Step 6. Add this code to the head section of your template.html file and change the directories to match yours

Code Select Expand


<link rel="stylesheet" href="themes/your_theme_folder/lightbox/css/lightbox.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="themes/your_theme_folder/lightbox/js/prototype.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="themes/your_theme_folder/lightbox/js/scriptaculous.js?load=effects"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="themes/your_theme_folder/lightbox/js/lightbox.js"></script>


Step 7. Paste this code before the ?> at the end of your theme.php file

Code Select Expand

Step 8. Upload

This should do it.

Wayne,

You need to do step 5 above to change the image path of the loading and close images in the lightbox.js file. Sorry, I left that out last night. Chaulking it up to a lack of beer!

[-|wayne|-]

yep that explains it simply enough!... i would have been able to do that 1st time round.... nice work again!!!

there is another lil thing that i would like to adjust:

when i open a larger image (with lightbox fx), its a lil low.. and i have to scroll down (about 30px) to see the whole image and to see the close button. but the larger image with white border fits fully in the screen area.

so i was wondering if theres an anchor point that i could adjust, so that i could it fits exactly??

is this possible? if so could you direct me to the right place of coding to adjust

many thx again  

a happy user

[Gizmo]

@David9

I tried to install it in my CG but the image stays very big.

How can i reduce the size of it?

Attached is a new lightbox.js file I found on this post - http://www.huddletogether.com/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=307&page=1#Item_0 that seems to do what you want. I only briefly tested it so it's up to you to make sure it works 100% but I think it's still beta. Follow Step 5 above to configure the image path for the loading and close image.

Also. check out the above link for other features. The file I've attached here is called lightbox_s.js in the zip file from the above link. I changed the name to make the installations the same as my previous post.

@Wayne, either try the attached script for fitting larger images in the browser window or take a look at this code in the lightbox.js file.

Code Select Expand


    var lightboxTop = arrayPageScroll[1] + (arrayPageSize[3] / 15);


Changing it to this raises the popup

Code Select Expand


    var lightboxTop = arrayPageScroll[1] + (arrayPageSize[3] / 30);


I'll leave it to you to find the best fit for your needs.

[Gizmo]

Hey rphMedia,

Thanks and nice little patch there to allow closing on clicking the image. I was using a different fix but this one is only a single line change. Always better to change only one line when possible.

Cheers,

Gizmo

[-|wayne|-]

thx Gizmo...that worked fine 

Code Select Expand

var lightboxTop = arrayPageScroll[1] + (arrayPageSize[3] / 40); centered at 40!

i only put the css and js files in the (new) lightbox folder (4got 2move images folder), and the images for close/loading are working fine !..... just 4t id mention it

hey rphMedia, that little line was sweet 4me 2...thx!    do you know how to set the alt= saying: click this photo to close window, like in original popup window.... any ideas?? code would be sweet.

thx 4ya time guys..... next time u go 2ya local pub say ya drinks is on wayne (hehe)
