No Lightbox in IE6/7 [SVN-617]

The lightbox popup feature does not work correctly in IE6/7, when loading the page there is a script error which points to a specific line in the generated source code.

Re: No Lightbox in IE6/7 [SVN-617]

I did a quick hack to get lightbox to work in IE6/IE7.

It turns out that the version of lightbox that the developers are using is not compatible with mootools in joomla 1.5.

What I did was downloaded slimbox, a lightbox variant based on mootools, and did a quick hack to integrate it into rsgallery2.

I renamed all the original .js files in the lightbox++ directory and replaced their original files with blanks. I copied over the slimbox.js file and renamed it as lightbox++.js (i know its not very pretty), and also copied the slimbox.css to the lightbox++ css folder, along with its images.

My aim is to replace the php code generators to point to another path so I can have it as a more permanent replacement.

I ran into this problem too and, following your lead, jumped ship to slimbox.

I added 'slimbox' folder to components/com_rsgallery2/lib and extracted the css and js folder to here.
I then modified the basic template from:

Code:

$js1 = "<script src=\"".$mosConfig_live_site."/components/com_rsgallery2/lib/lightbox++/js/prototype.js\" type=\"text/javascript\"></script>";
$mainframe->addCustomHeadTag($js1);
$js2 = "<script src=\"".$mosConfig_live_site."/components/com_rsgallery2/lib/lightbox++/js/scriptaculous.js?load=effects\" type=\"text/javascript\"></script>";
$mainframe->addCustomHeadTag($js2);
$js3 = "<script src=\"".$mosConfig_live_site."/components/com_rsgallery2/lib/lightbox++/js/lightbox++.js\" type=\"text/javascript\"></script>";
$mainframe->addCustomHeadTag($js3);
$css = "<link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"".$mosConfig_live_site."/components/com_rsgallery2/lib/lightbox++/css/lightbox.css\" media=\"screen\" type=\"text/css\" />";
$mainframe->addCustomHeadTag($css);

To:

Code:

$js1 = "<script src=\"".$mosConfig_live_site."/components/com_rsgallery2/lib/slimbox/js/slimbox.js\" type=\"text/javascript\"></script>";
$mainframe->addCustomHeadTag($js1);
$css = "<link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"".$mosConfig_live_site."/components/com_rsgallery2/lib/slimbox/css/slimbox.css\" media=\"screen\" type=\"text/css\" />";
$mainframe->addCustomHeadTag($css);

Voila. Lovely lightbox++ style popups in IE and Firefox.

Download Slimbox: http://www.digitalia.be/software/slimbox#download
The file to be altered is: joomlaroot/components/com_rsgallery2/templates/semantic/display.class.php

Re: No Lightbox in IE6/7 [SVN-617]

I am having the same problem and I have applied the slimbox solution with no luck. The lightbox works fine in Firefox. Any help would be appreciated as this looks like a problem a lot of people are having.

http://www.woodsmithfarm.com/index.php?option=com_rsgallery2&Itemid=92

It's a different topic, but I am also having problems with not being able to set the width of the pics so my page is getting stretch/distorted. I have tried different widths in Config/Images with no apparent changes.

Thanks

Re: No Lightbox in IE6/7 [SVN-617]

I am having issues with the Lightbox as well in IE6/IE7. I tried switching to Slimbox as mentioned and that didnt work either. Has anyone here been able to successfully fix this issue?
