Lightbox Slideshow ***1/10/11***

Hi BaconFries

I absolutely love this extension and am trying to incorporate it into a site I'm working on now.

I notice "Captions" in the CSS, takes its text from the image title. I'm wondering what the Description field is for in the images manager. No matter what I try, I cannot get the text entered in Description to also display. I'd like to put a brief, unique description paragraph below each picture in the slideshow. I'm hoping this is what "Description" was intended for.

Like ddlg2007, I'm very grateful for all the work you put into these extensions.

The caption in the css is for providing the use of a caption(Text) above or below a image without the use of tables it is also used for the size of font, color used. If you wish to give a description please use the "Title" input area for this the use of the description is used for providing a alt tag for the thumnails displayed on the page on which the extension is used...

Unfortunately the title field does not allow word wrap and paragraph set up so it is really only useful for single short text lines.

The Description field does allow wrapping, which is why I thought this would produce paragraph text above or below the picture. Not sure why this would be useful for an alt tag.

I appreciate the explanation. I can add the text to the picture outside WB and use these new images. No worries.

I'm trying to download the new standard version with z-index option and I keep getting the original 65 version without the option. Is the new file uploaded?

BaconFries · Post by **BaconFries** » Mon Oct 04, 2010 10:45 am

The standard version of the extension does not have this added in the properties, I would suggest that you download from the second url as this has the z-order properties needed.

I really like the standard version much better, but cannot get it to open in front of the menubar.

The z-index works in the newer version, but I cannot get the close, prev, and next words to show like they do in the standard version. Is there a trick?

protectourlands · Post by **protectourlands** » Mon Oct 04, 2010 10:46 pm

OK. I took the button images from the first script and applied them. Works great. Thank you.

BaconFries · Post by **BaconFries** » Tue Oct 05, 2010 12:35 pm

Your welcome I will try and update the standard version to show the z-order properties in the next couple of days, so it works thw same ....

Thank you BF

I did find an issue with the button version. The previous button image value keeps changing on its own from the actual button image assigned, to one of the slideshow images itself. I keep needing to go back and re-assign the prev button before publishing. Something is crossing in the script. What do you think?

mmm cant say what might be wrong I had this with another extension and it might be down to WB setting Asset Manager>Let WYSIWYG manage images and other files used by the project and I am only guessing, if I can I will look into but have took to my bed with a heavy cold and feeling really crap at the moment so bear with me....

protectourlands · Post by **protectourlands** » Sat Oct 09, 2010 4:34 pm

No worries. I hope you feel better asap.

BaconFries · Post by **BaconFries** » Sat Mar 05, 2011 12:13 pm

@ddlg2007 the link was removed because of a issue I had on site, I wont go into it...There was two versions of this, one was built so that users who didnt speak english could use and add there own next, previous images and just a english version. There was also some issues that images used were getting placed in the wrong paths so this was another reason to remove. Then due to a major PC crash at the start of year I lost a lot of work this extension was one of them I did have it backuped but only the english version at present I am really busy with work but I will try and see what can be done to rebuild both at sometime in the near future...

Hi Baconfries,

Do you still have a copy of the English version?

If yes is there any chance you could re-post that?

If not, no worries I will wait until you have time to update.

p.s...........when you do eventually re-post can I use 4 different Lightbox slideshows on one page?
What is the image capacity of each Lightbox?
Is it possible to input alternate text?

tia........

When I get the chance I will rebuild, and reupload...

can I use 4 different Lightbox slideshows on one page?

Yes you will be able to use more than one on the same page, aslong as each image used for each gallery has its own unique name this applies to the lightbox too.

What is the image capacity of each Lightbox?

You could use unlimited images, but please remember if using more that one lightbox with multiple images this will have a impact on how fast the page loads....

Is it possible to input alternate text?

Each image used can have its own description.

Lightbox Slideshow ***1/10/11*** Can bedownloaded via the Extension manager in WB7

lightbox slideshow killed by renaming image titles

I added descriptive titles to the images in the lightbox slideshow extension and killed it. Maybe titles cannot handle "_"??

While I'm at it Baconfries, is it possible to add alt text to these 55 photos? (Just read above that description takes the place of alt text - thanks)

Thanks

Thx for posting here bry I will answer you as soon as I am at my PC were I can install the extension to check what your asking...

bry · Post by **bry** » Mon Feb 16, 2015 1:40 am

Hey Thank You!!! Hope you are doing well!!!

BaconFries · Post by **BaconFries** » Mon Feb 16, 2015 5:41 pm

Afternoon bry, thanks for asking I am doing well still having issues with my eyes but just plod along.
Ok in a previous thread you ask can a "alt" tag be used the answer is yes, this is achieved by adding text in the Description section. You do this by selecting the image in filename were it will get highlighted then you can use the Description for a "alt" In the title you can add your own text so that it will not show the image name but what you wish to use.... You also mentioned that you broke the extension in what way did you do this.... Try the above and let me know please also note that I suggest that you try and use images that all have the same dimensions so that they display correctly.

Hi Baconfries,

Did you look at the link I sent up a few posts? It doesn't work anymore. Does it work for you???

It was working so I know all the image sizes are fine. All I did was change the name of images from 1 - 55 to a much better descriptive title for SEO.

Hey Baconfries, are you up??

BaconFries · Post by **BaconFries** » Tue Feb 17, 2015 3:32 pm

Hi bry sorry for not getting back sooner. I did take a look at the url and it seems to work ok for me using IE10, Firefox, but in Chrome, Safari, Opera some of the images break out of the lightbox container. I have also looked at the source and notice that you may have tried to add a url to the title also some of the naming of the images is rather long. Please check the naming and remove any reference to urls try to keep naming to a minimal if i remember this is a requirement of some lightbox scripts, as already mentioned try to use only portrait images or landscape do not mix as it may also cause errors like some images breaking out of the lightbox container. Note this version of the lightbox script is old and nsy have issuesvwith modern browsers so you may have to find an alternative to use.

Thanks. I will check names. I guess I could just dl the program this ext was built from. Do you know if it has updated?

Thanks much!

bry · Post by **bry** » Tue Feb 17, 2015 8:02 pm

I just went through names. The first slide did have an url as part of the name. I removed that but it still doesn't work. The problem must be due to the long names. It worked fine when the names were simply 1.jpg, 2.jpg, etc. But that is no help with SEO. So I will try to shorten all the names to see if that helps. If that doesn't work, I will have to change out the extension. I hate to do that because this is such a great extension.

Is there a new extension that offers a lightbox slideshow?

Thanks!!!
