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

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.

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.

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

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}

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("

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