Hi

One thing to try is to log off your blog and try to click on the images. I found on my site the other day that none of my lightbox images were working. Took me a little digging but found that they worked fine when I wasn't logged on.

In my case there must be some conflict with the evobar at the top of the screen and the lightbox stuff.

Thanks for answering - but logging off doesn't solve my problem, I already tried this before.

When logged on, there is a group setting for blocking javascript which may be the cause for lightbox not working when logged on. Even disabling this point (and therefore enabling js) doesn't change anything.

Even allowing invalid XHTML and setting the

rel="lightbox"

manually in HTML-code doesn't work, images further on open up in a new window.

I changed skins several, also no change.

Seems to be some kind of general error?

Cheers,
Joshua

i see that you have solved your problem ? your lightbox at : http://j-sys.de/ works fine for me with FF 3.6

No, I didn't solve my problem - j-sys.de is still runnning b2evo 2.4.7, not 3.3.3.

I'm willing to upgrade but can't do so as long as lightbox won't work. I'm preparing all updates on my _local_ XAMPP-system; no (more) "suicidal" online-updates...

I am not really sure what the problem is to be honest as I am running 3.3.3 on my site and the lightbox plugin seems to work OK (other than needing to be logged off like I said above).

I don't know if it is relevant or not but I have just been looking at your site j-sys.de where the lightbox seems to be working fine but I don't see the lightbox plugin installed there. On my site with the lightbox plugin installed I have this in my header:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" href="/plugins/lightbox_plugin/css/lightbox.css" />
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="/plugins/lightbox_plugin/js/prototype.js"></script>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="/plugins/lightbox_plugin/js/scriptaculous.js?load=effects"></script>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="/plugins/lightbox_plugin/js/lightbox.js"></script>

You don't have any of that. What you do have is the avatar_plugin which seems to include a few lightbox bits:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://j-sys.de/plugins/avatars_plugin/includes/jquerylightbox/css/jquery.lightbox-0.5.css" />
	<script type="text/javascript" src="http://j-sys.de/rsc/js/jquery.min.js"></script>
	<script type="text/javascript">
	//<![CDATA[
		jQuery.noConflict();
		(function($) {
			$(function() {
				$('a[@rel*=lightbox]').lightBox({
					imageLoading: 'http://j-sys.de/plugins/avatars_plugin/includes/jquerylightbox/images/lightbox-ico-loading.gif',
					imageBtnPrev: 'http://j-sys.de/plugins/avatars_plugin/includes/jquerylightbox/images/lightbox-btn-prev.gif',
					imageBtnNext: 'http://j-sys.de/plugins/avatars_plugin/includes/jquerylightbox/images/lightbox-btn-next.gif',
					imageBtnClose: 'http://j-sys.de/plugins/avatars_plugin/includes/jquerylightbox/images/lightbox-btn-close.gif',
					imageBlank: 'http://j-sys.de/plugins/avatars_plugin/includes/jquerylightbox/images/lightbox-blank.gif',
					txtImage: 'Bild',
					txtOf: 'von'
				});
			})
		})(jQuery)
	//]]>
	</script>
	<script type="text/javascript" src="http://j-sys.de/plugins/avatars_plugin/includes/jquerylightbox/js/jquery.lightbox-0.5.pack.js"></script>

On your local installation where it isn't working are you installing the lightbox_plugin, the avatar_plugin or something else?

Cheers

Once again: j-sys.de is still running b2evo 2.4.7 and is working fine. No problems here. ,-)
This will explain why the sourcecode looks different from a "normal" one. ;-)

Still, no improvement on my local installation. Tried 3.3.2, same effect. Tried different browsers (IE8, FF3.6, Opera 10.5), nothing.

Created a simple website and included lightbox-code manually - works fine. So no general problem on my machine or XAMPP instance but with the b2evo code. And I damned can't it! *grmplfz*

Are you using the lightbox plugin from here:

Tried both version, 1.3 und 2 (in different test installations btw), no effect, both don't work.

Some kind of interference with the thumbnail_plugin?
Or should both work together without problems?

Cheers,
Joshua

I have never used the thumbnail plugin to be honest so I have no idea. Drawing a blank on this one I'm afraid.

Have you tried removing the thumbnail plugin to see if the lightbox works OK ?

I installed one more b2evo-instance from scratch and _only_ installed lightbox plugin. Don't work either.

After installing the lightbox_plugin is there anything more to configure?
Is there any file that has to be edited manually?
Did I forget something?

Cheers,
Joshua

Not that I can remember. I think I just installed the plugin and added rel="lightbox" to the links.

How are you using the lightbox plugin? As a renderer or manually adding the rel="lightbox"?

L

I am using the lightbox 1.3 plugin, and it ONLY works for me with single images, not groups..

rel="lightbox" works

but rel="lightbox[groupname]" does not

I've done a great deal of searching in this forum and cannot find an answer to how image grouping can be achieved.

Also, in the plugin settings, what does "Use lightbox 2" actually do? For me, it breaks lightbox all together..Even single images don't work.

I wish there was more centralized info on how to get this plugin working correctly, seeing there are many of us having problems.
