Hello,

I was wondering if it is at all possible to get the lightbox effect @ the gallery thumbs, instead of only once you have loaded the page with the single full size image - basically to replace the full page link with the lightbox effect + slideshow (perhaps). Thanx in advance.

yes! I want it too!!!!!!!!!
I even try to modify the code, I copy the onlick lightbox something to the show photo area, replacing the photo_url, and also add javascript to headding part. however, even the lightbox show, there is no photo inside. can u tell me how?

ok, i got it

<a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="Lightbox.show('<?php echo $mainframe->getCfg('live_site') . '/images/stories/easygallery'. $eg_original_path . '/' . $photo->path; ?>','<?php echo $photo->name; ?>');"><img src="<?php echo $mainframe->getCfg('live_site') . $eg_thumbnail_path . '/' . $photo->path; ?>" border="0" alt="<?php echo $photo->name; ?>" />

but the '/images/stories/easygallery' looks stupid, can you tell me how to replace with system valuable?

ok, no more problem....

in function showCategory($row, $subcats, $photos, $pageNav, $params) part,
claim $eg_original_path

add javascript to heading part, don't know which one, but i add them all
    $mainframe->addCustomHeadTag('<leasygallery/slimbox/css/slimbox.css"
    $mainframe->addCustomHeadTag('<scy/slimbox/js/mootools.js"></script>');
    $mainframe->addCustomHeadTag('<scry/slimbox/js/slimbox.js"></script>');
    $mainframe->addCustomHeadTag('<lallery/style.css" rext/css" />');

the about code is not correct(just part of them), please just copy from other part in the same file, no changes need to made

final, instead of link the photo to image <a href=<php echo $link   locate this part, change to

<a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="Lightbox.show('<?php echo $mainframe->getCfg('live_site') . $eg_original_path . '/' . $photo->path; ?>','<?php echo $photo->name; ?>');"> <****image source here, no nned to change******>

detail:

extract your zip file before install the component, modify "easygallery.html.php" and repack then install. or you can modify the file then upload the file to the server seperately...it should be located in somewhere like component->easygallery

here is how you make the change:
1) about line 33
looks like this:
    global $option, $eg_original_path, $mainframe, $eg_thumbnail_path, $eg_thumbnail_width, $Itemid, $eg_thumbnail_rows, $eg_thumbnails_per_row, $my;

add "$eg_original_path":
    global $option, $eg_original_path, $eg_original_path, $mainframe, $eg_thumbnail_path, $eg_thumbnail_width, $Itemid, $eg_thumbnail_rows, $eg_thumbnails_per_row, $my;

2) line 35~38, add below, if duplicated, remove the duplicated line.
    $mainframe->addCustomHeadTag('<link href="'. $mainframe->getCfg('live_site') . '/components/com_easygallery/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />');
   
    $mainframe->addCustomHeadTag('<link rel="stylesheet" href="components/com_easygallery/slimbox/css/slimbox.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />');
    $mainframe->addCustomHeadTag('<script type="text/javascript" src="components/com_easygallery/slimbox/js/mootools.js"></script>');
    $mainframe->addCustomHeadTag('<script type="text/javascript" src="components/com_easygallery/slimbox/js/slimbox.js"></script>');

3) around lin 108 which looks like : <a href="<?php echo $link  ?>

change to
   <a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="Lightbox.show('<?php echo $mainframe->getCfg('live_site') . $eg_original_path . '/' . $photo->path; ?>','<?php echo $photo->name; ?>');">
 

hmmm, i'm not getting it working.
Can anyone post the php file, or something like search for this and replace it with that?

Ok I got it and it works v nicely actually, including the slideshow effect with the prev + next gifs. But I did change a few things from weber's post - thanx 4 his advice tho:

this is how i did it:

1.open easygallery.html.php
2. around line 33: replace

global $option, $eg_original_path, $mainframe, $eg_thumbnail_path, $eg_thumbnail_width, $Itemid, $eg_thumbnail_rows, $eg_thumbnails_per_row, $my;

with

global $option, $eg_original_path, $eg_original_path, $mainframe, $eg_thumbnail_path, $eg_thumbnail_width, $Itemid, $eg_thumbnail_rows, $eg_thumbnails_per_row, $my;

3.around line 34: find

$mainframe->addCustomHeadTag('<link href="'. $mainframe->getCfg('live_site') . '/components/com_easygallery/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />');

add

$mainframe->addCustomHeadTag('<link rel="stylesheet" href="components/com_easygallery/slimbox/css/slimbox.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />');
$mainframe->addCustomHeadTag('<script type="text/javascript" src="components/com_easygallery/slimbox/js/mootools.js"></script>');
$mainframe->addCustomHeadTag('<script type="text/javascript" src="components/com_easygallery/slimbox/js/slimbox.js"></script>');

4.line 108:replace

<a href="<?php echo $link  ?>

with

<a href="<?php echo $mainframe->getCfg('live_site') . $eg_original_path . '/' . $photo->path; ?>" rel="lightbox[<?php echo EG_CATEGORY_DESCRIPTION; ?>]">

Thats it. Enjoy

Hi again,

I just thought of something - anybody have any ideas on how to add a png watermark to the slimbox images? I have seen some examples online of how to add a png watermark using gd2 - but don't have any experience with this so any suggestions would be appreciated.
