How integrate lightbox in CMS?

[SCM]

i would like to use lightbox (http://www.huddletogether.com/projects/lightbox/) in one of my pages managed with the cms.

but i don't know how to integrate this. can anybody help pls???

Check out the Downloads Forge for a module named Lightbox. It will simplify your job

[SCM]

ok now it was sucessfull

but what are the further steps?? the help file isn't really useful

[tyman00]

I've run into issues with the XML for CGExtensions before too. Try downloading the ZIP package and FTPing it to the /modules folder. Then go into the Modules page and install it.

[SCM]

ah yes thanks, now it works

but then i have a second question:

how can i delete the linkt in lightbox2:
click here to download the picutre

and why is the prev and previous image missing in my lightbox? in which directory do i have to store these files??

[tyman00]

I believe you will have to modify the template/javascript in the /modules/lightbox directory.

As far as the prev/next links. They should show up when you hover over the image. If they do not you have not properly setup your {Lightbox} call... be sure to read the help on that.

[SCM]

hmm yes i did that

but i dont know why this is needed

{LightBox image='imagefile.gif'} - Repeat as many times as necessary to create image popups

[tyman00]

You didn't read it all of the help then...

"(optional) name="" - Specify a name for the rel link. This can be used to group images together and to allow paging back and forth between them"

Here is what you need: {Lightbox image="John.jpg" name="family"}{Lightbox image="Jane.jpg" name="family}

[SCM]

hmm I used rel=lightbox[album1]

for example. that works too, but ok thx, i will try name

[SCM]

ok now i used the following code:

{LightBox image='/uploads/images/gallery/Rehbock.jpg' name="Rehbock"}

{LightBox image='/uploads/images/gallery/Rehbock2.jpg' name="Rehbock"}

and in the header of the page i put:

{LightBox action='css'} {LightBox action='js'}

but nevertheless the next/prev aren't there

Hi,
Still have same problem. But I noticed that my log are full of request like :
Required but not found URLs (HTTP code 404) : /fr/contact/modules/LightBox/js/lightbox.js
It's definetly a problem with url, but I dont know why.
I use mod_rewrite. {LightBox action='css'} {LightBox action='js'} are located in of in my template.
Sorry for SCM if it's not the same issue,
Thanks
Mel

Regarding the "prev" and "next" images not showing.

Edit the Lightbox/css/lightbox.css

Code: Select all

#prevLink:hover, #prevLink:visited:hover { background: url(modules/LightBox/images/prevlabel.gif) left 15% no-repeat; }
#nextLink:hover, #nextLink:visited:hover { background: url(modules/LightBox/images/nextlabel.gif) right 15% no-repeat; }

Should be

Code: Select all

#prevLink:hover, #prevLink:visited:hover { background: url(/modules/LightBox/images/prevlabel.gif) left 15% no-repeat; }
#nextLink:hover, #nextLink:visited:hover { background: url(/modules/LightBox/images/nextlabel.gif) right 15% no-repeat; }

Please note the "/" after the "url("

[Dr.CSS]

That only has to be there if you don't have the base href in the head...

[SCM]

the / in front of the url doesn't work for my page. it only works if i use the absolute link (http://www.....)
but why??
