Exclamation better original image display (lightbox/thinkbox)

can we please get one of these (lightbox or thickbox) implemented instead of the current, absolutely hideous system that breaks the design when a user tries to view an original image? original images can sometimes be huge and the users only need to see the content, not navigation. therefore using either lightbox or thickbox seems to be the best solution. I know PhotoPlog has it.

oh, and btw, can you pleeease get that image echo feature working? I'm sick of people leeching my images, and I can't see why would you not release a small update to vBG to add that functionality, the files responsible for image echoing are already there, they're just not used for some reason. all it takes is adding a new setting and modifying a few templates.

I already have a lightbox in operation for original image display and it looks nice.
- I'll gather the code up and post it.

- Do you watermark them ?
- Do you use .httpaccess to stop hot linking from other sites ?

no, some of my images are watermarked from before or are screencaps from TV.

.htaccess really doesn't help. it's not really the most bulletproof way to protect one's images

I believe it's been a few months now since I've suggested that. and yet the only thing we got so far is the price increase, which, btw, I am having very serious trouble justifying, considering complete lack of updates and a ton of bugs present in the current version of vBG.

There is a hack for the lightbox in the mod section for photopost pro.
plus it should not be that different for classifieds i would expect.

The first time I clicked on the image, it opened in a new window. The second time the light box worked.

Its because the page has to have loaded fully and the lightbox script activated before it will work, If a user clicks the image too quick they get the old pop up for the image and not the lighbox.

I am still pluging as many fixes as I can and still adding some more Hook locations in the gallery files.

I am shooting for this weekend.

the bug I've reported back in october (vBG was v2.0 at the time) is still present.

PS: will there be a way to view original images using lightbox (btw, Lightbox v2 was just released) without exposing the actual image address, namely by using the image echo functionality?

kinda easy to do it your self I been in pm with zach all day testing different ones and so far I think I found the best one to use but its one of the easiest mods to make use of. If you want I can post my code I used and it may help others I know zach has a plugin but it didnt work for me so I did it my own way and it seems to work great
