jQuery Lightbox For Native Galleries
Description:
Makes the native WordPress galleries use a lightbox to display the fullsize images. The lightbox used in this plugin is currently the jQuery lightBox plugin by Leandro Vieira Pinho.
Demo:
To create the below gallery, all I’ve done is inserted [gallery] into this Page’s content. No modifications are required to get the Lightbox working.
Images by Microsoft
Download:
- Download from WordPress.org (
downloads total)
Known Issues:
- The lightbox used in v2.x of the script doesn’t resize the fullsize images to that they fit on your screen. I didn’t realize this until after I released v2.0.0. I may have to switch to yet another lightbox script. Feel free to recommend any jQuery based ones you know (WordPress uses jQuery in the admin area and I like jQuery, so I’d strongly prefer to stick with it).
WordPress 2.6
Hello,
I try your plugin. Good job.
But I should be a good idea, to fitt the size to the window!

Yeah, that’s the Lightbox plugin. I’m looking into alternatives.
Alright, here’s my results:
* The other jQuery Lightbox sucks and doesn’t do resizing either.
* Thickbox seems to require DOM (HTML) modification and is overly complex.
* Original Lighbox (v2) requires DOM modification as well and it doesn’t appear to do resizing.
Simply put you probably just want to upload smaller images. I’ll look into it uses the “Medium” version though.
Excellent work, I’ve been looking for this for some time! Thanks for sharing :)
After using it for a while, I found one small problem. If you have several posts with [gallery], all the pics will be in the slideshow, no matter what post you start it from. I feel that each slideshow should be limited to images on the current post [gallery]. Other plugins work by putting something like rel=”gallery[post-id]“, but i still haven’t looked at your coding. I’ll fix this on my installation, but i think it should be on the next release ;)
Thanks again
Yeah, I know. There are no easy hooks to do it though. I’m going to have to hook into
the_contentlate and then regex the final post output. A major pain.So I opted to just get this simple version out the door to see if there was any interest in it or if I was just wasting my time. ;)
Yeap, after looking at the code i realized it’s not that simple. The regex solution has some problems too; there are some themes (as the plaintxt ones – sandbox is often used as the base for many themes) that already put a “rel” tag on the gallery images. So it’s not just append a rel, one must also check if there’s already a “rel” inserted; i changed another plugin to do this, but the code was getting messy…
Anyway, there is interest in this plugin, i guess :D
jQuery Lightbox by balupton will NOT work with IE6 which, according to my stats, represents about the 65% of my users.

I don’t have IE6, so I can’t test. Even if I could though, the issue most likely is with the JS package rather than my plugin so there’s not too much I can do. :(
Any chance of supporting Lightbox 2 (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/lightbox-2/)? I find I like this version better.

Lightbox 2 requires adding
rel="lightbox"to all of the links. This is a major PITA. The JS package I’m using at the moment allows me to do it without any HTML edits.I’m going to be looking into it though.
I use this plugin (http://mdkart.fr/blog/plugin-add-lightbox-pour-wordpress/) with Lightbox 2 for posts. Maybe it has a new angle on getting the REL attribute added.

Yeah, that’s what I’m going to have to end up doing. Not terribly difficult, just a pain. ;)
Lightbox is ok, but I use Highslide JS all the time! Highslide is truly amazing and works everywhere. I’ve been using the WP-Highslide plugin along with Next-Gen Gallery, as well as the Highslide core javscript, coded into various pages of my themes. Would be great if this plugin would have support for Highslide as well…
» Highslide JS
» WP Highslide
Since I’m going to have to add
rel="..."support, yeah I’m thinking of just bundling a couple different scripts and allowing the user to choose.Definite interest!! This is exactly the way it should be done!
If you do decide to add highslide, or slimbox, or one of the others, please do that on an options page, not something that has to be jacked with on every post.
Resizing can be done via an image manager plugin – like Flexible Upload. I sure wish someone would come up with a plugin that worked as simply and effectively for inline slideshows.
Thanks for the hard work, looking forward to the upgrades.

This is a very nice plug-in. I like the way keyboard shortcuts provide additional navigation options. Thanks for your contributions to the WP world.

I can’t take credit for that as I didn’t write the JS package, but thanks anyway. :)
I’ve just noticed that on my site (and yours) there’s a popup for http://www.savethedevelopers.org which is due to the included JS. Were you aware of that?
A bit of a pain really… Am I missing something obvious?

I was aware that it was on my site (I added it to bug IE6 users to update), but no I was not aware that it was bundled inside of the plugin.
I’ll remove it. Thanks.
So, what’s the reasoning behind not using Thickbox?
Yes, it alters the DOM. It adds some nodes on activation so you don’t have to. I’m not exactly sure what you mean. Plus, it’s already bundled and used by Wordpress.
Here’s all you have to do to make an associated Thickbox gallery:
....
The rel attribute takes care of which image belongs to which gallery.
Seems pretty easy to me.
Also, I think you guys are thinking much too hard about how to go about adding the rel attribute. You don’t have to do any regex replacing or insertion. Simply replace the function that writes the gallery markup. This can easily be done through a plugin. I’d recommend looking into how the post_gallery filter is applied just a little bit harder.
Jason on August 21st, 2008 at 9:49 PM wrote:
That is very poor solution for forward compatibility reasons. Regex would be a much, much better solution.
I will be making the switch to a “rel” solution, but I’m busy with other projects at the moment, namely recoding Viper’s Video Quicktags from scratch which is literally like 150x as popular as this plugin (so it gets priority).
I do not think it’s a poor solution at all. It was anticipated by the developers.
// Allow plugins/themes to override the default gallery template.
$output = apply_filters('post_gallery', '', $attr);
if ( $output != '' )
return $output;
Do you think that taking advantage of pluggable functions is a very poor solution? It’s basically the same thing.

Just because I can reinvent the wheel doesn’t mean I should. If changes are made to the gallery output, that means I have to update my plugin to match it. A major pain.
100x easier to just regex the links inside the gallery div. ;)
Hi people, I’m the author of “jQuery Lightbox (balupton edition)” which is being used in this plugin. I see that a few of you have been having problems or there are features that you would like added. Could you please post them on the plugin’s website under “issues” so that I know what features people want, and where people are having trouble – here is the link: http://plugins.jquery.com/project/issues/jquerylightbox_bal
Thanks, and hope you like this plugin. And thanks Viper007Bond for using my project – I will add a link on the plugins site.
Carsten Giesen, the resize functionality has been added in v1.3.0-rc1.
nikos, v1.0.1-final always has worked with IE6. v1.3.0-rc1 has re-added support for IE6.
James, this message is now optional in v1.3.0-rc1, and IE6 support had been re-added.
Viper007Bond, is the rel/grouping issue you are talking about something that I can help out with? If so, post an issue on the lightbox website and I can see what I can do.

Thanks for the plugin. Saves me time =)
Any advice/pointers/URLs on how to extend this to include iframe and/or inline-content support? That or, and other plugins people found to be working happily beside it (that don’t take too much of a foot print)?
I’ve downloaded and installed this plugin (thanks) but I have a couple of issues:
1. I see no options menu within the admin area to stop the plugin from resizing images. How do I make the plugin *not* resize images. I have the gallery settings inside WP’s Admin area set to 900×1600 for “medium” images hoping this would prevent an auto resize. Am I missing anything?
2. For some reason, activating this plugin makes my theme align left versus centered. I am using the Paid Revolution themes. De-activating all other plugins and turning on this one makes the theme align to the left of the window. Any idea on where I should check to eliminate this issue?
Beyond that, this is the type of plugin I have been very much searching for, offering gallery navigation functionality I would have expected to be within WP by default. Any assistance you can provide would be appreciated.
3. How do I prevent the plugin from auto scrolling. I want it fixed to the top of the screen and show the original file size always… never the medium size or an auto resize. Is this possible?

This plugin doesn’t use the medium version, only the smallest one (for the thumbnails) and the fullsize version (for the lightbox). The lightbox script will resize the fullsize version if it is larger than the screen to make sure it doesn’t go off the sides of your screen.

Viper007Bond, for all the requests on my side, could you forward the users to http://plugins.jquery.com/project/issues/jquerylightbox_bal so that I only have one place to check. That being said, I’ll stop checking the comments here after this post. Continue the great work.
Hrmm, I just tried to reply but it didn’t work…
Anyway, there is actually a fair bit of options available via the lightbox:
http://www.balupton.com/sandbox/jquery_lightbox/jquery_lightbox/readme.txt
I’m guessing if you wanted to you could add the wordpress config for these, and then convert it into a JSON array via php and then call $.Lightbox.construct([php echo $json_options;]); if that makes sense, if not, I’m sure you will be able to figure it out ;-)
Anyway, for all the requests for my project could you forward them onto here:

As it is becoming a little bit of a hassle for me having multiple places to check for requests. Cheers, that being said, this should be my last comment here, so continue the great work.

Ok, thanks for the quick reply. Guess I will need to continue my search as the group I am with uses large scale models and all of us have large resolutions, and require the large images.
Ideally, we need a Lightbox style script that stays in a fixed position at top of the screen, and reveals the image in its full original size, and allows for scrolling. That is, absolutely no resizing of any kind. It’s too bad as I really thought my search was over :)
Are you aware of any script that offers those capabilities? The no resizing is an absolute requirement.

I suppose this will be a dumb question, but, is this plugin supposed to work at all for single images, or only for the gallery images/tags? I would love to only need one plugin for the lightbox effect.
James on September 2nd, 2008 at 4:15 PM wrote:
It only applies itself to galleries. Add this somewhere in your theme and it will make it do it to single images as well:
<script type="text/javascript">jQuery(document).ready(function(){ jQuery("img.size-medium").each(function(index, obj){ jQuery(obj).parent("a").lightbox(); }); jQuery("img.size-thumbnail").each(function(index, obj){ jQuery(obj).parent("a").lightbox(); }); });</script>THANKS! It works like a CHARM!
This is just awesome. I think wordpress should include this as default.
Tons and Tons of Thanks.

Ok ! For thowse who use Revolution Themes, or centred web site’s here is the solution at the “left align problem” :
In jquery.lightbox.packed.css find: html,body{margin:0;padding:0;height:100%}

This will do the job. Tested in IE & Firefox.
Good luck.

Sweet, I have been looking around everywhere trying to find a good jquery lightbox, I just used script.aculo.us Lightview for its ability to run images,video,html and others.
But I do like Jquery more and thickbox was looking a little dull for images.

Also, is there a way to make the layout in the post 6 images wide instead of three?

Hi Viper…
I recently downloaded this plugin for my WP template, uploaded it as per the instructions and activated the plugin. The theme I purchased creates thumbnails for galleries and when clicked on, is supposed to activate the lightbox.
When I create a new post and want to add pictures, I click on “add image” which is next to “add media” and I have the choice of either uploading images OR providing the URL to the image (not sure if this plugin prefers one or the other but…), I’ve been inserting images via the url….but it doesn’t work. Your page where I downloaded the plugin from provides next to no explanation as to how to make it work because it’s supposed to be very simple…right?
I don’t understand what I could be missing. The girl who designed the template and who used your plugin in her “demo” of the template asked if I had a wp-config file and a .htaccess file?! She didn’t specify why…do these files have anything to do with it?
Here is the URL of my site: http://karenmackiefotographics.com
Please help!!
My plugin is designed to only work on galleries rather than individual images, i.e. if you place “
[gallery]” into your post/page rather than<img src="...Then I have a real problem because it won’t let me upload images…the only way i’ve been able to get images to show is by URL…do you have any suggestions?
Sticking
rel="lightbox"onto the link HTML (the “a” tag) should make it work.You can also use a bit of JS to apply the lightbox feature to all images in your posts if you want.
Ok…so get this. When I tried uploading my gallery from a PC using Firefox…it worked. BUT…the lightbox isn’t working. I’m using Sarah Neuber’s W-PhotoStudio Template (http://wp2.sarah-neuber.de) for WP (which is fantastic) and after adding galleries she suggest replacing the[gallery]with this: [gallery columns="5" itemtag="div" icontag="span" captiontag="p"] in order to create columns of thumbnails. Once you click on the thumbnail the lightbox is triggered. It works great for her but not for me.
So…I’m now able to upload my pictures and have them set up as thumbnails but as soon as you click the thumbnails…the lightbox doesn’t work.
Can you think of anything? Thank you and sorry for the trouble!
Sorry…forgot to add that if you want to see my gallery in question, look to the nav bar at the bottom, click on “Portfolio” then on “Little Ones” and you’ll know what to do next…thanks!
Are you sure my plugin is activated? The plugin’s lightbox JS file is not being loaded, nor is it making the images link directly to the fullsize rather than the images being on their own page.
Yes it’s activated. I don’t know what to say…when I look at my plugin list…it shows as being activated. If you give me your email, I’ll send you my login info…i don’t mind.
Let’s take this to my forums: http://www.viper007bond.com/wordpress-plugins/forums/viewforum.php?id=25

Ok…I figured it out! I was running WordPress Version 2.5 and all I did was upgrade to 2.7 and that did it!!

Thank you very much. You are solved my problem. There are so many lightbox author. You are the best. Thank you.
I’ve used this plugin again and again. I’m very happy with the way it works.
Today I discovered that when used on a gallery uploaded on a page (page.php) instead of a single post (single.php) then it opens everything in the lightbox. Even the main navigation links!
Surely it should not be this way.
Any idea why?
Hi, it´s a nice plugin, but I have a problem. It works with WP-Galeries without problems, but in posts with included single pictures it don´t work.
Is this correct? Or have you a tip for me, why it don´t will work correctly?
I have try to work with 2 plugins (yours an lightbox 2) parallel, but then the single picture will be open from both plugins at the same time.
My blog works with WP 2.7, it ist an intranet-blog, so I can´t give an adress.

Any chance you might someday display the caption in the popup, in addition to or instead of the image filename? That would be so dandy.

hi, I’m soo happy with your script, it looks great.. the recode and script switch are definitely for the better, thank you so much! I do have a little question though. before I upgraded to the new plugin, the pop-up would keep the photos all to the same size (within my screen resolution, which is 1024×768). Now though, it seems like it directly grabs the original file in the original size – resulting in some photos showing with a width of 1500px. is there any way (other than to resize the original file) to put a limit to the width or height the pop-up images can go? thanks in advance!!!! (I would re-upload some of my photos in smaller sizes if there was no way to do otherwise, but I was just hoping there’d be a hidden trick…)
It never occurred to me to check until after I released the new version. I have two very large monitors (1920×1200), so I never noticed that this new script didn’t resize.
I may have to go with yet another lightbox script as I looked and there doesn’t appear to be a way to tell it to resize. :(

What, exactly, was wrong with 1.1.0? It worked great and re-sized. AFAIK, it wasn’t broken. 2.0.0 doesn’t fire (at least on 2.7.1 Mu) so the image just loads in a blank page as if the plugin wasn’t there. Got any way to turn off the “there’s a new version” flag, so I don’t have to keep ignoring it?

The lightbox may have not been compatible with the version of jQuery bundled in WordPress 2.8. I’m not 100% sure, I just know that the lightbox stopped working on my blog a few months ago (I’ve been running 2.8 here for months).
I also didn’t like that it spammed you with the author of the script in the upper-right of the page. Ideally I want one that works exactly like the current one, but that resizes large images (I thought it did, but was wrong).
Hi concerning the last few comments….
version 1.1.0 worked better for me . I liked the resizing of images and also when you scroll down the page the image stays centred on the page.
The only thing I didnt like was the “it spammed you with the author of the script in the upper-right of the page.”
And your right the old version doesnt work with WP 2.8.
So for the time being Im sticking with WP 2.7.1 and the plugin 1.1.0
Any chance of updating in the future
Great plug in by the way
cheers

Does your plugin work with the K2 theme? I set it up on my blog and I tried it out but I don’t have any lightbox effects. Is there anything I need to do to get this to work or am I just out of luck?

Nope. It loads posts via AJAX, after my plugin applies the Lightbox.
It’s likely possible to get it working, but I have no experience with K2.
Hi !
Thanks for your great plugin.
But i have one problem.
I installed the current release 2.0.0 of your plugin with wordpress 2.8
With Firefox and IE8 everything works fine. But with IE7 (Win XP SP3) i got a java-script-error and the image displayed in a seperate window.
Any Ideas.

Well what’s the error? :)
Hi !
I got a javascript error :
Code : 0
Line : 88
Char : 5
Desc : Identifier, string or number expected
Any updates yet for WP 2.8 and 2.0 of this plugin per chance? Thanks for the hard-work. If any, any temporary solution? TIA
Hmmm… is there a way to get the same behavior pre-2.0 in WP 2.8 were clicking on a thumbnail or an image (w/ rel=”lightbox”) would show a lightbox that is proportional to the viewport? TIA

The demo seems to be using 1.3.2 as well.
