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 http://www.huddletogether.com/projects/lightbox2/ - 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 http://jquery.com/demo/thickbox/ - thickbox , the diffrence is thickbox can contain any HTML not just images. Endless possibilities! ------------- Handyman man? |

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)

aks427... i added what you suggested but it still doesn't work... i think i need to add the "<a href" somewhere to make the image an anchor link... any idea where I can add that at?
thanks in advance! |

I think that would only change images that were posted using the tags. Not sure about the ones inserted using the image upload.
If I have time, I'll look more into later.
