Problem with lightbox-plugin [solved]

[Linus]

Hi there,
I´ve got weird problems with the lightbox-plugin. I finally get it working but when I scoll down (after loading the image) in my page the overlay-div (the one which is opaque) stops.
It´s not filling out the hole site. The div is always placed on top of the page and only fills the viewport. Scrolling down and the loading the image is curious too.
You can see it on my testsite (not ready yet) here: http://nimax.bu-web.de/index.php?/archi ... shots.html
Simply click on one of the screenshots..

Maybe someone had the same problem, too...

Hi!

I think this is a general problem of the lightbox plugin and depending on the CSS the rest of your page uses. I am quite sure it'll have problems with floating and so on...

Did you look if there are updates to the lightbox javascript that we could commit to our lightbox plugin? Maybe your problem could be fixed by the JS...you may want to search the lightbox developers for asking them?

Regards,
Garvin

Hi Garvin again
I will try another js-file maybe this will solve the problem. I thought about "wrong" css code too and tried to disable some code but this didn´t work either.
Maybe I should ask the developer of lightbox...
Thank you for your fast reply...

Allright after searching on the developers blog I finally found a solution...
Maybe the plugin should be updatet that way to work correct...

That´s exactly what I done...

Hi Linus!

Thanks for that URL! Sadly I'm not good enough at JS to figure out if this would make any problems - was this patch accepted for the official lightbox JS sourcecode?

Your design is nifty and unique! Very cool show off your customizing skills! I wouldn't know it was a serendipity operating there. )

Well done,
Garvin

Hi Garvin,
yes this patch is included in the actual sourcecode of lightbox.
There are a few new addons too, like close-button,etc... but for the actual implementation of lightbox in serendipity this would solve the problem.
The latest source-code can be found here:

Your design is nifty and unique! Very cool show off your customizing skills!

Thank you Proud to hear that.
