Light Box v2

Simply integrate LightBox v2 javascript animation

Just install the plugin by PluginManager

• plugin_dokuwiki_lightbox.tar.gz → Link not working
• temporary link

Fix the bug mentioned at the bottom of this page – otherwise it won't work with javascript compression turned on.

and link your image like this

{{wiki:dokuwiki-128.png?direct|Image Description}}

or like this

{{wiki:dokuwiki-128.png?200x50&direct|Image Description}}

• Is there any way someone could make this js more selective about when it is called? It seems to get called no matter what file I pick whether it is a picture, pdf, doc, whatever. The js always gets activated. Thanks

• Can somebody adapt this plugin to be able to use images in bbcode sintax? Thx

• Does this plugin work in dokuwiki-rc2007-05-24? I cannot get it to display images with LightBox, only in the same tab. The gallery pligin which uses LightBox (but not version 2, which it states, has DokuWiki-incompatible dependencies) works on the other hand. Thank you.

• If you install this Plugin, it seems that the plugin “indexmenu1” doesnt work correctly. Bastian

The reason is that it extends array methods with its prototypes. The result is a lot of functions added as items in any new array. I don't know a way to prevent this and adding extra code to indexmenu in order to check items is not a good solution for me. — Samuele Tognini 2007-10-24 14:10

The temporary link above has no syntax.php in it. Hence, it cannot work. It works if you put an “empty pseudo” syntax.php into the plugin directory:

<?php
if(!defined('DOKU_INC')) define('DOKU_INC',realpath(dirname(__FILE__).'/../../').'/');
if(!defined('DOKU_PLUGIN')) define('DOKU_PLUGIN',DOKU_INC.'lib/plugins/');
require_once(DOKU_PLUGIN.'syntax.php');
 
class syntax_plugin_lightbox extends DokuWiki_Syntax_Plugin {
 
    function getInfo(){
        return array(
            'author' => '?',
            'email'  => '?',
            'date'   => '?',
            'name'   => 'LightBox v2 Plugin',
            'desc'   => 'Simply integrate LightBox v2 javascript animation',
            'url'    => 'http://wiki.splitbrain.org/plugin:lightboxv2',
        );
    }
 
    function getType(){return 'protected';}
    function getPType(){return 'block';}
    function getSort(){return 0;}
    function connectTo($mode) {return false;}
    function handle($match, $state, $pos, &$handler){return false;}
    function render($mode, &$renderer, $data) {return false;}
}

Completely non-functional on my installation. The requirement of the direct option in image links makes it impractical anyway. — Carl Manzi 2007-09-28 17:22

Don't work with javascript compression turned on

You don't need the pseudo plugin cause the js-code is included by the js.php script (see javascript). But an error in the file script.js prevents it from being included if (and only if) compression for js and css files is enabled. This is because the first comment contains another comment and therefore is not propberly closed. The compression code deletes the whole file, cause the comment is not closed. Just replace the header comment with the following one and the lightbox is there:

It seemed to me that this plugin conflicts with indexmenu2 (either JavaScript menu or plain HTML) but works fine with indexmenu.
