Lightbox again...

adusei · February 27th, 2009, 01:53 AM

Hi there,

I know, this question comes often, as I already could read in the forum here. But all answers didn't bring me to where I want to be: To enable the LIGHTBOX

So, here my settings:

Show Photo Options:
Use popup window for BIG images? - Yes
Use lightbox integration? - Yes
Width to trigger lightbox integration (if enabled)? - 1500
Height to trigger lightbox integration (if enabled)? - 1500

Upload Photo Options:
Max allowable image width in pixels - 950
Max allowable image height in pixels - 950
Trigger medium graphic height and width - 500

I also ran a Check DB with all the options enabled except watermark.

Results: No Lightbox, only display the img in page.
What is my mistake I did?

Need help please.

TIA and regards,

adusei

So, now I again changed it to:

Show Photo Options:
Use popup window for BIG images? - Yes
Use lightbox integration? - Yes
Width to trigger lightbox integration (if enabled)? - 450
Height to trigger lightbox integration (if enabled)? - 450

Upload Photo Options:
Max allowable image width in pixels - 980
Max allowable image height in pixels - 980
Trigger medium graphic height and width - 600

And at least I will get a PopUp window, fine.
But where is the LIGHTBOX? I expected something like the lightbox we have in vBulletin...

This all is very much confusing (and not only for me, as it seems).

Hope to get the ultimate tipp ;-)

Best, adusei

Show Photo Options:

Use lightbox integration? - Yes
Width to trigger lightbox integration (if enabled)? - 1000
Height to trigger lightbox integration (if enabled)? - 1000

Based on your settings that should work. Remember your only going to have a lightbox if there is a medium so any photo over 600 pixels will show lightbox

What version of Photopost are you using adusei?

adusei · February 27th, 2009, 08:27 AM

@ Chuck

Thanks. But, unfortunately, this is not working either. I uploaded an image with the original size of 850x1275, and with the above metioned changes of yours I dont get any lightbox, neither a popup. What happens is, that the immage will load in the same window glued to the rigth side - very ugly...

@ Geiri

Hi - I downloaded 6.2. But now I had a look in the admin backend and there is the message: PhotoPost 6.2 Now Available! Security Update! Hu? Do I have 6.2 or not? ... Hope so, hehehe...

Edit: Here's a link to check...http://www.thailand-finder.com/redsh...oto=15&cat=500

If your current version is 6.2 then you have the latest.
Do you know your server specs?

The image shows nicely but is 653 x 979 pixels wich should not be enoug to trigger lightbox wich I think you set to 980x980

Trie to upload a bigger photo.

Sorry, but it's confusing me realy. So, here my settings again:

Show Photo Options:
Use popup window for BIG images? - Yes
Use lightbox integration? - Yes
Width to trigger lightbox integration (if enabled)? - 1000
Height to trigger lightbox integration (if enabled)? - 1000

Upload Photo Options:
Max allowable image width in pixels - 980
Max allowable image height in pixels - 980
Trigger medium graphic height and width - 600

So - where do I have to change what to enable the lightbox when? I cannot understand the logic in this system...
I cannot upload an bigger image, because - as I understand - each will be triggered down to 980 according to my settings.

CU,

adusei

So, and when I disable the lightbox - I am at least will get the popup. But the very moment the lb is enabled, I will get the same ugly result...

Turn off your vb3 enhanced integration. Does the lightbox work?

Your triggering the lightbox but your page has java issues hense lightbox is crashed.

Yes I would suggest you also redownload the code and make sure your running the latest

Ok, thx so far - will try everything. And report later

adusei · February 27th, 2009, 11:53 AM

Yup Chuck, it's been another java-code and I have to cut it off (but made such nice things, cry...

)
Ok, the prob is fixed, and thx so much for your patience.

Hm, one little thing left: Please see the attached img, this is my lightbox now, unfortunately there is no close-button to be seen (suppose to be on the right side bottom, correct?). Will confuse the users much. How can I fix it?

TIA and best,

adusei
