VR6Pete 1,455 Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 In preparation for the relaunch, I am piloting a new feature, it's called light box and it will play a key part in the look and feel of the new site, whilst attempting to adhere to web 2.0 standards.Here is an example of what it does, simply click the thumbnail to view a larger image:You are probably wondering how you can achieve this with images you are posting. For Premium Members, simply upload an attachment as you would normally do, and it will do it automatically see below example:[lightbox=../../e107_files/public/1167398993_2_FT149520_73_3.jpg][/lightbox]If you are not a premium member, simply click the corresponding BB code button:BBcode Buton -> Parameters:image_url -> http://domain.com/images/myimage.jpgimage_title -> Image name (String or empty)image_group -> Images Group (String or empty)image_float -> left or right (case sensitive, use small caps) (String or empty)link -> some text or use img bbcode [ i m g]http://domain.com/images/myimage_thumb.jpg[/i m g] to display image thumbExamples (Click to view):[lightbox=http://www.vr6oc.com/e107_files/public/1167403244_1_FT151050_ed-poloriod.jpg][/lightbox]Feel free to have a play with this and feedback anything you would like to say about it...I know the navigational menu's are overlaid on top of it, that wont be an issue when the new website goes live though.Cheers,Pete Link to post Share on other sites

VR6Pete 1,455 Posted February 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 I have now updated this so that when you click the icon, you are presented with a GUI interface, this makes using the lightbox plugin alot easier.Enjoy! Link to post Share on other sites
