    Posted: 01 September 2006 at 6:10pm
Hello Everyone,

I was wondering if anyone knew where/how I can obtain the code or necessary files so that when someone clicks on an image on my forum the background darkens and the image appears as a popup type thing. I assume its done via javascript.

Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

I personally think its a pretty cool feature to have on your forums... especially if you have a lot of images being displayed.

Thanks in advance!

I think the term used is 'lightbox' if you do a search on google for the javascript lightbox or 'thickbox' that should be what your after.

EDIT: found this for ya. might be what ya after.
Handyman man?

Mikey.. you're da man... that's precisely what I was looking for. I will give it a go tomorrow and see if I can implement it into my forum tomorrow. Doesn't seem like a hard task after reading their instructions a bit.

Just in case though, has anyone already implemented this into their forum?

No but after poking around on the sites for a bit i think this could be  a great addition to the forum.

There is also one called thickbox, the diffrence is thickbox can contain any HTML not just images. Endless possibilities!

Okay... I tried adding the code and seeing how I'm not a programmer.. its comes to me as no surprise that I can't implemente it lol... maybe someone else can help me out...

this is what the image needs in order to function: 


<a href="images/image-1.jpg" rel="lightbox" title="my caption">image #1</a>


so it looks like i need to make the image an anchor first... i was looking at functions/functions_format_post.asp as a place to add it but couldn't figure anything.

can anyone please help me out!

thanks in advance!

You've got the right page to edit I think...

Look for something along the line of this..
 
strTempMessage = Replace(strTempMessage, "[/IMG]", """>", 1, -1, 1)
 
And change it to something like this
 
strTempMessage = Replace(strTempMessage, "[/IMG]", """ rel=""lightbox"">", 1, -1, 1)
