Интересная штуковина, вот только стоит наверное тоже немало.

Hi Printer,

Sorry, it was my mistake…I hadn’t updated one of the plugin files correctly. Please download again and re-install and it should work.

Sam

ow, i see the code did not displayed corect in my comment.

Hi,

I am trying to use the plugin once again. The saving options problem seems to be fixed, thanks. BUT when I activate and try to use the plugin, only the first two posts on my home page get flash titles and all the others are completely missing. I have about 20 posts showing on my homepage btw.
Any advice? Thanks!

Thanks for the reply. I see that it seems to be browser specific. In Safari it looks fine and in Firefox 3 beta I am having the problem of no titles after the first two.

Hi Brian
I hadn’t thought to add an option for transparent…I’ll have to add that feature in the next release! For now you could use this workaround…

change the line of the plugin’s code:
so.write(”flash_title_’.$flash_title_id.’”);

to:
so.addParam(”wmode”,”transparent”);
so.write(”flash_title_’.$flash_title_id.’”);

Hope this works for you…
Sam

BTW I’m using WP 2.5.1

Thanks.

I just couldn’t get it to work……

Hi Sam, I followed the instructions but I cant see it working both on Index and Single.

That’s the blog: http://www.laondagrafika.com/blog/

Thanks!

Hi! GREAT plugin idea! i desperately want to use it.

The trouble is that when i install the plugin, i get this error message:

Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.

When i go to the plugin page under Options, i see various errors like:

WordPress database error: [Table 'untolden_wrdp1.wp_flashtitles' doesn't exist]

There are numerous similar errors. i checked my database, and it looks like the tables that the plugin needs aren’t getting installed.

Any suggestions? i’m running ver 2.2.2.

THANKS!!

It’s me again! Another problem: The flash titles don’t link to full post as they used to do before, so I uninstalled the plugin now. But screenshot is ready to send

Hi Sam! Contratulations for the plugin, I think is amazing!

You know? Im using the default theme for wordpress, the original code says:

< div class=”post” id=”post-” >
< a href=”" rel=”bookmark” title=”Permanent Link to ” >

But when i replace this code for:

ID,’start’)} ?>
<a href=”” rel=”bookmark”>

ID,’end’)} ? >

… then the theme no work.

I dunno where Im mistake. Can you help me? Thank you so much and sorry for my english language, still is very poor.

hey there,
thanks for the great plug! but i have a little prob:
I am usin the lightbox2 plug to view my pics. when the lightbox effekt is running, the titles are “flashing” through the background of lightbox and sometimes appearing on the images. I recognized that this happens with every flash content embedded on the page… so its not really an issue for you but you might know a little workaround for that.
it could be something with the z-indexes i guess?

steve

Thanks for that great plugin. The code, that you gave as an answer for the transparenc stuff, does not work. so.addParam(”wmode”,”transparent”);
so.write(”flash_title_’.$flash_title_id.’”);

I need that transparency and a little donation is on the way. Thanks.

does not work in IE!! why why why i hate internet EXPLODER!!!

how can i fix this? please advise..

Hi Sam;
Can you please look at my code and tell what wrong? Thank you

ID,’start’)} ?><h3 id=”post-”><a href=”" rel=”bookmark” title=”">ID,’end’)} ?>
By

great!
but not all characters are displayed , like “çãêó”, i’m using UTF8 (pt_BR)! then was desabled, THX

i don’t know how many hardy can be to put thumbnails to fonts example at the options pages, or include a image with, then they don’t need to choose font by font to make the choice!
just a suggestion…
THX anyway!

This is what we’ve been looking for, but is it possible to have a transparent background?

I need this plugin, but it doenst work in IE..

Works great, and props for getting this out!
Two comments:
1) does not cope if you change the thumbnail sizes away from the default 150px - any chance the dimensions can be picked up dynamically?
2) Best way to remove the rather in-your-face attribution line from the top of the overlay screen?

thanx, —john—

Hi John

If you download it again and re-install you will see that the attribution line is gone. It was bothering me too!

In a few days I will upload a new version that supports all thumbnail sizes.

Sam

Hi Allan & John

The plugin is now updated to incorporate thumbs of any dimensions! Picking up the size dynamically wasn’t the problem, it was that wordpress adds the dimensions to the end of the filename of each thumbnail (image-150×150.jpg)

Hi Martin
I could only make it work with either ‘ or ” in the links, so I opted for “. Maybe I’ll come up with a solution for this, but for now I guess you’ll have to use “.
Sam

I am having a similar problem to Martin. I have a page that I am wanting to not use the lightbox plugin on and am manually inserting images with anchor links around them and for some reason the plugin is adding the lightbox tag. For example I have a video file I want to link to with a small preview image but for some reason lightbox is messing around and making the large version of the uploaded thumbnail image instead of actually linking to the video file. Any ideas why?

My post hasn’t been approved from before, I think it was because I included some html code in it to explain my problem.

Anyway just to summarise it’s the same problem as both Martin and Jesse and also I still can’t use “widescreen” thumbnail sizes.

Basically 150×150 or 120×120 or any equal sized thumbnails worked perfectly but 128×72 or the like makes it so the lightbox doesn’t work (it links to the thumbnail not the full size).

Another problem I have is that the lightbox doesn’t position large images correctly, is there a way we can use thickbox or something instead?

Basically some of the images I have are 3000pixels wide and the image is cut off on the screen for a while and then it clicks in place (takes awhile). Thickbox I think it was actually scaled down the image so that this wasn’t a problem.

Hi John

I had also identified that part as the problem and was thinking along the same lines as you. The \d+ should work fine. I will update the plugin accordingly and re-upload. Thanks for your feedback.

Sam

Hi Chiwan

This problem (The same problem experienced by Martin & Jesse in previous comments) should now be solved. Please download again and re-install.

The plugin should now only add lightbox to the gallery and to links that point to an image i.e. a href=”example.jpg”

Sam

Hi HJ Barraza
It sounds like it’s clashing with javascript that is generated by another plugin. Do you use any plugin that uses either jQuery.js or any other lightbox effect built in?
Sam

Hi Jonathan
Unfortunately with the method I used it is not possible to choose between using the medium size or full size image. It had to work with either one or the other, and I chose the full size as I felt it was the most useful option.
The best way around this is to resize your images before you upload them, you can set up an automated batch in Photoshop to save time on this.
Sam

Hi there

This is a great plugin, however when I have an individual picture as opposed to a gallery the title is not displayed. Any thoughts anyone, the difference I noticed between the links made in 2.3 v 2.5 are the title=”something” is missing from the link tag

Hi Sam,
Downloaded the latest version of the plugin but I am still experiencing the same problem as I was previously. It seems that the plugin in placing the rel=”lightbox-6″ code into the img tag in my particular case. The code ends up looking like:

<a href=’http://example.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/groundround-soundlogo-1.mov’ rel=”nofollow”></a>

It seems as though the code is being placed, awkwardly in the img tag for some reason unknown to me. Any ideas on what might be causing this?

Oops, looks like the HTML got stripped from that comment. Anyways the page in question is here. http://insightadvertising.com/blog/?page_id=6 The first 6 images link to a .mov file but the plugin is putting lightbox code into the image tag between the closing / and >.

It interferes with the action of my Featured Content Gallery plugin .. Any solution ??

Hi Sam,
I just upgraded to wp 2.5.1 and your great plugin stopped working, I tried to find out why and did not find a reason - do you have a clue?

Hi Michae
I haven’t made the upgrade to 2.5.1 yet, but will be doing so this week. At that point I will run some tests and get back to you.
Sam

Hi Michae & Switch
Here’s a quick fix to make the plugin work with 2.5.1:

in ‘wp_gallery_lightbox.php’ change the line:
add_filter(’the_content’, ‘gallery_lightbox’);
to:
add_filter(’the_content’, ‘gallery_lightbox’,12);

This fix may stop the plugin from working in 2.5 - and also may cause clashes with other plugins which also add filters to ‘the_content’ - so, for this reason, an updated 2.5 / 2.5.1 compatible version of the plugin will not be released just yet…sorry
Sam

Hi Sam,
thanks for the hint, it works again!

Hi HJ Barraza
It’s the other lightbox from your template which is causing it to bug. You can probably fix this by removing the link to the plugin’s lightbox script and just using the one that comes with your theme. To do this you can comment out the following line of the plugin’s code:
add_action(’wp_print_scripts’,'wp_lightbox_js’);
like this:
//add_action(’wp_print_scripts’,'wp_lightbox_js’);
Hopefully that will work for you. If not then you could edit your template’s Header file and remove the call to the lightbox js from there.
Sam

Hi Bárbara
Do you mean so the thumbs link to the medium version of the image? Or so that only medium images link to the lightbox, while thumbs link to the wordpress attachment page?
Sam

So does version 1.2 only work in WP2.5?

Hi Jesse
It should now work in both…but I think most people will be upgrading to 2.5.1 pretty soon as 2.5 has security flaws.

Version 1.2 of the plugin also moves the style tags generated by the gallery to the head of the page so that the page validates…worth upgrading I think
Sam

Hi Jesse
I have fixed this bug, hopefully it’s the last! I’ve re-uploaded the plugin. You only need to replace the ‘wp_gallery_lightbox.php’ file this time.
Sam

I updated to WP 2.5.1… and it stopped working.

I updated to plugin version after your April 29 comment (bug fix for WP 2.5.1)… still not working.

I commented out (as suggested) //add_action(’wp_print_scripts’,’wp_lightbox_js’);

… and still not working.

Too bad, it was the only lightbox plugin (I tried 5) that I found that worked idiot-proof with K2 theme… well, until I updated to WP 2.5.1. I don’t know what to do now… I’m kinda low on the tech-know-how.

Typo… I meant… “Upon load of home page”…
Basically, when my home page loads, nothing else appears except the lighbox effect, even though no picture was clicked on. Weird.

Ran into another snafu on the page I previously linked. The very last image is still getting a rel=”lightbox” tag applied to it. I can get around this issue by adding a blank 1×1 gif with an anchor link around it to trick the plugin to applying the rel=”lightbox” tag to that but it is an issue with the plugin that I thought I would bring to your attention.

Hi FruityOaty
Did you try removing the line of code I suggested before? I had a look at the collapsible elements plugin, but couldn’t see any obvious problem that would cause it to clash…

I forgot to mention this (re: your new update today version 1.3) … BTW, when I click “upgrade automatically” (in WordPress 2.51), your installer deletes old folder but writes this to plugins folder: wp-25-gallery-lightbox-plugin/wp_gallery_lightbox

… instead of just wp_gallery_lightbox. Hence, it doesn’t show up in Plugins screen.

Thanks for providing such a great plugin.
I have a question when I use WP’s automatic update funtion to update this plugin,it does not works after upgrade.I checked it and found WP downloading a file named “wp_25_gallery_lightbox” and unzipped it under the file folder “plugin”.Only after I moved the folder “wp_gallery_lightbox” to the folder “plugin”,this plugin can works again.
Please check the reason!

Hi Bill
Glad you like the plugin. I am in the process of solving the auto update problem…sorry for the inconvenience…
Sam

hi, is there a way to open images in lightbox with just a text link (means: no thumbnails)?

Hi Kei
It may be because you are using ‘ in your links instead of ” (see comment by Martin Peine above). It may also be to do with your permalink structure. Try switching to ” in the links and let me know if it still doesn’t work.
Sam

Hi Mauro
Did you ‘auto upgrade’ the plugin? I am trying to solve a problem with that at the moment…If so try downloading the plugin from this page and install manually…
Sam

Hi Sam
I’m using your plugin 1.3 and wordpress 2.5.1. Everything is working fine except that the titles all show as “untitled”. Is there something I’m missing out on?
Thank you in advance.

Found the solution:

In wp-includes/post-template.php, line 390 looks like so:

return “$link_text“;

Replace this line with the following:

//mafro lightbox mod
list($url, $w, $h) = wp_get_attachment_image_src($id, “full”, $icon);

return “$link_text“;

Hi !

Does this plugin automatically add the tags necessary for the lightbox plugin to work with all my “old” posts aswell. I was using the lightbox plugin before upgrading to 2.5 and now 2.5.1 and it was working fine.

I can´t get your plugin to work and I can´t figure out what the problem is…

Any pointers would me much appreciated…

I’m using a function in my template’s functions.php file that uses
wp_get_attachment_link
to display a post’s attached image.

THis plugin does not add the necessary rel=… code I’d need to make the image lightboxeable

any ideas?

I paste the rel=”lightbox”, cannot… what happen??
Try for long time…sad sad sad….

Hey Sam, nice Job, but a question, it work with [gallery] ? Just work with post images, but not when I write in a post [gallery] (every thumb link to a page, i want the ling to lightbox)

agreed on 2.6 breaking the plugin. same symptoms.

Is there a way to get this to display not only the caption, but also the description of the image?

Other than that I love it!

yes, plugin no longer works with Wordpress 2.6. First of all, lightbox won’t show up, second it breaks…image is too large.

hi - is there a compatibility issue with wp 2.7?

Cheers
Merlin

Hi missmaddis
Perhaps its a problem with the theme you are using?

Hello. Sorry if someone else has written this before. There are some bugs (not severe, but very visible) in your lightbox v2.5.

1st is when opening new picture after page scroll, it’s position is for example half beneath the lower border of the browser window, not when size of the picture other than of the one open before, thus lighbox is reformating itself.

2nd the black background shows only in upper part of page, it means when a page is with much text in it and it is a bit longer, the background is shown in upper part only and invisible.

I am using wordpress v2.7 with theme newsprint

Bye and have a nice day.

Hi I have a very simple problem… How do I get the next and previous buttons to show? I seem to have the plugin working fine in 2.7 but i cant move through the pictures. Any thoughts?

Hi Sam. Love the Plug-In. It does exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for the hard work. However, I have a weird issue. The lightbox code is NOT consistently publishing to galleries. Have a look at my site and you will see what I am talking about. What is even odder, is that the posts when previewed as a draft DO have the light box code. Any idea what it could be? Thanks again.

I thought it was that too, and made sure that galleries were set to link to the image. The funny thing is, if I disable the plug-in they all link to the image. If the plug-in is enabled some of them link to a ‘Post Url.’ Thanks for getting back to me. If I figure it out, I’ll let you know.

Hi Sam,
awesome plugin I’ve been searching for! Discovered strange issue - when putting few pix in a post to make some kind of gallery, it plays to open only the last picture. All the previous pix are opening without any Java effect in a new web page.
Could you please advise what to do?
Thanks in advance!

i have install the plugi, but i dont know how i can show it on front-end(User interface)?

can i have the source code
i also work on it

Hi, I tried this out and am having trouble getting it to work. Am I supposed to have 2 different layers, one for tadpole and one for mouse_mc? Also, my transparent pixels don't seem to be attached to my mouse…

Hi there, just wondering if you’d have an tips on converting this to AS3. I’m very new to Flash and have been trying to do it all day!

Thanks in advance,

bex.

Hi, I know this is a little late in the game and not sure if anyone is still answering questions but…

What I’m looking to do is have the sprite (tadpole) freeze on mouse over; basically a button, and resume it’s motion on rollout.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Gray

the function called newpos() basically does the following:

1. choose a rondom point on the stage
2. rotate to face the direction of that point
3. Move toward the point while decelerating to a stop
4. Once it is not moving repeat the process

@gray

to stop them moving try changing:

if(this.hitTest(_root.mouse_mc)){ this.newpos();}

to:

if(this.hitTest(_root.mouse_mc)){
this._x = this._x;
this._y = this._y;
}

@viezzz
sorry i don’t have time to code it and test it at the moment, but you need to look at these lines of code:

this._x += dx/acceleration;
this._y += dy/acceleration;

this is the code for the deceleration.

My idea would be to calculate a halfway point between the start and end position and make the tadpole accelerate towards the halfway point, and then deccelerate away from it.

Hope this helps!

Hi.. nice work. I wanted to increase the acceleration value, but the motion stops after a while if a higher value is used.
I just don’t get it why? maybe someone can give me a hint
