Adding multibox to lightbox plugin?

lordcoffee · Post by **lordcoffee** » Fri Mar 07, 2008 12:19 am

It looks that its working fine! I just tested the shadowbox. I've "pimped" it a bit to my needs but this time only via plugin fields: Just a Testentry

Did you test it on IE7? I've tried and it .... hmmm .... works but not its supposed to be because the shadowbox is displaying far far away in the bottom of the page.

Thanks a lot again,
lordcoffee

I like you modifications! Could you post them, it's just the plugin Init field, right? I didn't expect it to be that versatile

The youtube isn't linked to the gallery, I'll look at that.

Haven't tested IE7 yet, but Shadowbox is a very new *box, only a few days since it first release. I'll test it in my IE7 install at work.

shadowbox IE7 is working at my local install. But I think there were quite a few threads concerning IE7 in the shadowbox forum, have you checked there? Can somebody else please test IE7?

I've found out that we can use nearly every setting inside the field to override the default settings. Here's the code of the plugin field i used:

Code: Select all

{
flvPlayer:'plugins/serendipity_event_lightbox/shadowbox/flvplayer.swf',
loadingImage:'plugins/serendipity_event_lightbox/shadowbox/images/loading.gif',
counterType:'skip',
continuous:'true',
animSequence:'hw',
resizeDuration:'0.85',
fadeDuration:'0.85',
initialHeight:'100',
initialWidth:'160',
keysClose:['s', 'q', 27],
keysNext:['n', 39],
keysPrev:['v', 37],
text:{cancel:'Abbrechen',loading:'lädt',close:'<img src="plugins/serendipity_event_lightbox/shadowbox/images/close.png">',next: '<img src="plugins/serendipity_event_lightbox/shadowbox/images/right.png">',prev:'<img src="plugins/serendipity_event_lightbox/shadowbox/images/left.png">',
errors:{
single: 'You must install the <a href="{0}">{1}</a> browser plugin to view this content.',
shared: 'You must install both the <a href="{0}">{1}</a> and <a href="{2}">{3}</a> browser plugins to view this content.',
either: 'You must install either the <a href="{0}">{1}</a> or the <a href="{2}">{3}</a> browser plugin to view this content.'
}}
}

Here are the images i used (from multibox)

The page of shadowbox itself (here) works fine in IE7 so i think its happening somewhere in our files. I also found another kind of bug in FF (2.0.012) on OSX X (mac) the shadowbox itself works fine but in a gallery of images the background overlay doesn't appear. Maybe this happens also on Win but on work I only have a mac

.

But I think we are on a really good way

Thanks once more,
lordcoffee

EDIT:
I've read that the overlay bug is just when a flv file is inside the gallery but I couldn't find any solution for that.

Is there a way for an markup plugin (the lightbox one obviously) to know, if it is currently processing an entry page? Cause using the markup on other pages (static pages, entry lists...) might create unwanted side effects. Would like to add an option for that.

Still working on this one...

Is there a way in serendipity_event_lightbox.php's event_hook() to check, if is currently working on a real entry? Cause the gallery linking part is confused on other pages (for example on an category entry list). My blog is pretty mixed, using videos and pictures in various sections, I would like the lightbox plugin to be prepared for all those circumstances...

Hi!

Maybe...try a dump on $GLOBALS and see if the entry ID is contained there? Also, did you check a dump of $eventData in the hook? Depending on it, you might get the entryid there.

Garvin

Hi,

Thanx Garvin, $serendipity['GET']['id'] did the trick. So here's a new version:

http://tmp.loben.net/serendipity_event_lightbox.zip

I've added a new option to only link images on single entry pages. Otherwise the plugin will also link images on category entry listings etc. If noone finds any new problems I think it's done now and it's ready to be commited (unless you don't consider those *boxes an useful addition, Garvin

). I'll test it a little more on my real blog tonight.

Hi!

I can'T test it myself, but if you find at least one more person that finds the changes usefull, I'll happily commit them!

Thanks for your work, even though I can'T really say much about it

Regards,
Garvin

I find the changes useful! I'm using this instead of the tooltip thing, now. Very nice, especially the auto-grouping code.

Thank you judebert

Don't commit it yet though, Garvin. I still need to improve the support for static pages. That entry detection code 'broke' static pages support...

*edit* I REALLY need to improve my php knowledge... I've dumped $eventdata and noticed a variable 'staticpage_permalink' somewhere in the depths of that structure. That should be a good variable to check with isset when I need to know if I'm currently working on a static page in the hook, right? Now HOW do I adress this? $eventdata['staticpage_permalink'] won't work, neither did my attempts to dive into this array...

*edited again* Garvin already gave the answer in another thread, all I had to do was search a little deeper

$serendipity['smarty']->get_template_vars('staticpage_permalink')

Ok, static pages are handled now as well, an updated .zip will be available soon. Nnot quite sure if all those new options are too confusing for the Mr Average blogger.

Is there any way to process sidebar plugin output with the markup? I'm trying to use it on the Unified Sidebar Image Plugin thing as well...

Only if those sidebar plugins use "frontend_display" hook for their output; not all of them do.

Thanks Garvin. I'll take another approach: http://board.s9y.org/viewtopic.php?t=12561

necro.

Someone out there who thinks he can update the plugin to the latest Shadowbox-Version and deploy it to Garvin & the com ?

edit: It's still working, I like things being "up-to-date" though
