2. I’m not sure if I got that right: Should it make regular images appear in a lightbox instead of as a plain image in the same tab? if so, that’s exactly what I am looking for. But after installation, nothing happens with the images so far… :-(

3. Hi Birgit,
   You have a good question. I did not come up with such a need, because I am using only [gallery] which is one of WP 2.5 new features for my photo album site.

   Anyway this is a tip for what you want to do. Just enclose ‘a’ and ‘img’ tags by ‘gallery’ class. Here is a sample.

   <div class=”gallery”>
   <a href=”image.jpg” title=”this is a caption”>
   <img src=”thumbnail.jpg” alt=”thumbnail” />
   </a>
   </div>

   I hope it will work for you.

4. Hello,
   I tried using this plug-in, but it doesn’t work for me. Whenever you click on one of the images in the gallery, it just opens the image on a blank page, it doesn’t use the Lightbox Javascript at all. How can I fix this? You can view the problem at http://jake-moore.com/gallery/

5. Hi Jake,
   I could not find any problem because you did not seem to activate the lightbox gallery plugin. Let me know again after you activate it. I may find out some clues to fix it.
   Thanks.

8. Hi Jake,
   I looked at your gallery page. Firefox says,
   jQuery(“.gallery a”).lightBox is not a function
   jQuery(‘.gallery a’).lightBox();

   I am not sure what is the exact reason, but could you try after stopping the SimpleModal Contact Form (SMCF) plugin? This plugin calls own jQuery and it may happen the conflict error.

   I found a forum post which seems to be related to this. Check it out.

   Thanks.

10. Hey,
    I tried that fix and it didn’t have any effect. I did disable SMCF and it solved the problem, but I would rather keep the SMCF.

11. Hi Jake,
    Did you see the link I posted above? It is worth to try adding ‘jQuery.noConflict();’ into smcf.js, which the guy on the forum says. I hope it will work for you.

    Cheers!

12. Hi!

    Great plugin!

    But I have some requests for future versions. :)

    – Could you also include lightbox for single images in posts? (Without the need of wrapping the image in an gallery class).
    – I ran into a small feature/bug that triggers when a page has more than one gallery instances. For example: http://www.yukka.nl/cat/fotos/
    Lightbox handles all different galleries as one big gallery. (As expected this also happens whit single images embedded in gallery classes)

13. First, let me say that this is an absolutely brilliant plugin! I was thinking of building something like this until I found your plugin, and I’m using it on my own web site now.

    I have found a minor bug, however. When you have too many images on a page in Safari (any version, I’m using 3.1 Mac), you get a JavaScript error “Maximum call stack size exceeded.” A little research shows that this is because Safari has a 100 command call stack versus 1000 for FireFox, but it doesn’t look like Safari is going to change this any time soon. (The stack size has been this way since at least 2.0, and hasn’t been changed.) You can see this issue on my Portfolio page at http://www.stilldesigning.com/portfolio. Works great in FireFox and IE, but no lightbox in Safari. Sad. :(

14. Hi Jeroen,
    Thank you for using the lightbox gallery plugin. I released version 0.2.1 today. This supports rel=”lightbox” to make regular images appear in a lightbox. You do not need to use [gallery] shorttag and enclose ‘a’ and ‘img’ tags by ‘gallery’ class. Just add rel=”lightbox” into “a” tag which you want to show in a lightbox.

    If you would like to handle galleries separately, add different class names into [gallery] and add codes as many as class names into `lightbox-gallery.js`. Something like this:

    #post
    [gallery class="gallery2"]
    [gallery class="gallery3"]

    #lightbox-gallery.js
    jQuery(‘.gallery2 a’).lightBox({captionPosition:’gallery’});
    jQuery(‘.gallery2 a’).Tooltip({track:true, delay:0, showURL: false});
    jQuery(‘.gallery3 a’).lightBox({captionPosition:’gallery’});
    jQuery(‘.gallery3 a’).Tooltip({track:true, delay:0, showURL: false});

    I know this is not a smart solution, but it should work.

    Thanks.

15. Hi Dave,
    I confirmed an error happens in using safari, as you says, when many images exist. I am not sure how I can fix it, but here is one option for you. There is an option that images load slowly in the lightbox gallery plugin. See lightbox-gallery.css and make a line which is the comment enable, then images start loading slowly. If you use this, Safari does not show an error. I am using this in my demo site. Check it out.

    Cheers!

18. Hi Fonzj,
    I am not sure why the plugin does not work in your website. Do you have any errors in the gallery page when you activate the plugin? Did you check the source of the gallery page? Nothing outputed? Also check the other plugins and try turning off one by one in order.
    Cheers.

19. Luv the plugin, but cant figure out how to change the thumbnail size. Currently its creating thumbnails at 150×150 and I would like to make it much smaller. Please help! :) Thank you!

20. Hi Raylay,
    The thumbnail size is defined in the Miscellaneous Settings of admin menu. You can change both the thumbnail size and medium size of images.
    Cheers.

22. Thanks for the quick response! I was afraid you may say that about the Misc. Settings because I have changed them and it still isnt working – have you heard of any bugs with this? Or do you know where in the WordPress PHP files I may be overriding the thumbnail settings unknowingly? Thanks again and suggestions are soooo appreciated! :)

    Raylay

    5月 22, 2008 at 6:20 am 17年 ago

23. Another thought – can you give me code that will override the Misc Settings thumbnail size that I can add to the lightbox-gallery.php file? Thanks again! :)

    Great job you did. Is it possible to add the tite of the pictures ? I use the [gallery lightboxsize="full"] settings but title doesn’t appear in the box ?

    5月 25, 2008 at 5:13 pm 17年 ago

30. Hi Jean-Marc,
    The captions of images are treated as the titles and tooltips. It does not matter whether you set the lightboxsize. You need to fill out the captions in each image. Let me know the page you publish and I may suggest something else. Cheers.

32. Hi James,
    Could you change the 2nd line of lightbox-gallery.js to the following:

    var lightbox_path = “http://’+location.hostname+’/wp/wp-content/plugins/lightbox-gallery/”;

    Be careful of quotation marks. WordPress automatically changes them to Japanese marks. I just add /wp into the code.

    It may work properly. If not, let me know again.

34. Great plugin! It works well for mine and there’s another plugin called “auto lightbox” that’ll add the rel tag to the image link for non-gallery images. However, I am running into issues with my EXIF data not being shown even though it is in the file. I checked to see if WordPress deleted the EXIF when it resized my image but resized images maintain EXIF. I changed the value to “true” get nothing. This is true of both individual images and galleries. Do you have any suggestions? I’m running WP 2.5.1.

36. Hi James,
    I checked your page again, and I realized js/jquery.lightbox.js seemed not to be loaded. I am not sure why the file is not loaded properly, but other plugins may conflict. Could you stop other plugins like Lightbox 2 and NextGEN Gallery?

    Wordpress Go Go

    6月 3, 2008 at 10:57 am 17年 ago

37. Hi Mathew,
    The EXIF data are shown only in [gallery meta="true"]. Individual images which have rel=”lightbox” are not shown with the EXIF. Can you see the EXIF data in [gallery meta="true"]? It does not matter which size you use.

    Wordpress Go Go

    6月 3, 2008 at 11:44 am 17年 ago

38. Thanks for the response. I have both the [gallery meta="true"] tag on and have tried it with just the gallery tag only but editing the plugin to have meta=> ‘true’. Neither one renders results for either individual photos or gallery photos.

42. とてもすばらしい興味深いプラグインの公開ありがとうございます。
    ぜひ採用したいのですが、当方の環境では動作しないことが判明しました。
    どうもphpのバージョンが4であれば動作するのですが、php5の環境だと画像を表示してくれないようです。
    スクリプトは素人ですのでその原因はわかりません。
    もし可能でしたらphp5へのご対応をよろしくお願いいたします。

43. Syunroさん、どうもこんにちは。

    PHP4だと動いて、PHP5だと画像が表示されない、とのことですが、私の環境はPHP5なのでバージョンの問題ではないような気がします。

    いくつか確認していただきたいのですが、プラグインを有効化しないで[gallery]を表示させた場合、きちんと画像は表示されますでしょうか。また、PHPのエラーが何か出ておりませんでしょうか。もしかしたらJavaScriptのエラーが発生している可能性もあります。

    どういう状況なのか分からないので何とも申し上げられませんが、とりあえず上記の点を確認してみてください。

44. 早速のお返事ありがとうございます。

    あ、php5の環境で動作しているのですか。。。
    なんとも悔しいです。

    ■プラグインを有効化しないで[gallery]を表示させた場合
    この場合は正常に表示します。

    ■PHP もしくは JavaScript のエラー
    FireFox と safari の双方でエラーコンソールを確認いたしましたが、どちらもエラーは出ておりませんでした。

    ■html ソース
    テストサイトを http://garo.syunro.net/ に作っていますが、どうも内容がまったく出力されていないようです。
    これが、php4 だと正常動作するのです。

    ■php のバージョン
    バージョンは5.2.5です。
    その他の仕様は http://www.que.ne.jp/tech/php.html に詳細がございます。
    このレンタルサーバは、.htaccess を書き換えることでphpのバージョンを変更できるので、試しに php4 で動かしたところ正常動作してしまい、php のバージョンを疑ったのですが、間違いのようで大変失礼いたしました。

    しかし、php5 で運用されているとのお返事をいただき、もう少し原因を追究する気になってまいりました。
    少しずつスクリプトの勉強がてら調べてみます。
    お忙しいところありがとうございました。
    何かお気づきの点がございましたら」、またお返事ください。

    I realized you have not updated lightbox-gallery.js to the newest version. Please update whole files again. I think your question No.2 and 3 will be fixed. I am not sure why the tooltips are appearing the far right. Anyway, first of all, just update again. Let’s think of the tooltip after that.

47. 早速のお返事ありがとうございます。

    あら、先週追加コメントを入れたつもりが、なぜか投稿されてなかったようです。
    確認を怠り、申し訳ございません。

    たちまち前回のコメントへのお返事ですが

    1.[gallery]は正常動作しています
    2.エラー表示は出ていません

    で、その後 garo.syunro.net での試験結果、次のようなことが判明いたしました。

    3.ユーザディレクトリの php.ini を削除すると「少し動作」する

    この「少し動作する」の意味は、single での画像一覧は表示されるのですが、index の画像のリンクがうまくいってない状況のようです。
    php.ini は主なページで使っているので削除できないため、現在は動作しないままになっていますが、何かロードしなければならない関数や extension があるのでしょうか。
    もしくは環境変数が違っているのかも・・・と、現在も継続検証中です。
    もう少し頑張ってみます。

    また、何かお気づきになったらご教示くだされば嬉しいです。

48. Syunroさん、こんにちは。

    追加のコメントをいただいていたみたいですが、AkismetがSpam判定していたようで全然気がつきませんでした。

    さて、プラグインを使用していない状態で、[gallery]が動作するのであれば、プラグインに何らかの問題があると考えるのが妥当ですね。

    一つの可能性としては、他のプラグインとの干渉がありますが、一度全部のプラグインを無効にしてやってみてもらえませんでしょうか。

    JavaScriptやcssは正常に読み込んでいるようですが、どこかに何らかの原因があるのでしょうね。

    なかなか解決策がご提示できなくて申し訳ないのですが、どうしても難しい場合はお問い合わせより再度ご相談ください。

    それではよろしくお願いいたします。
