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.

. I have this bug also in my installation of RSGallery2 1.14.3 SVN 649

For the people who don't know where to look Wink

:

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

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?

The solution posted by Neil Simpson worked for me (thanks Neil!).

One important detail that's not clear from the instructions is (I think) you need to download "Slimbox 1.53 for mootools 1.11". Be sure to heed the warning about Opera (although it seems to work fine in Opera 9.27) and "Quirks Mode" (which means you might have problems if your Joomla template doesn't include a proper DOCTYPE tag).

EDIT: I should add that I'm running Joomla 1.1, not 1.5; that may make a difference.
