Hi,

I would like to combine lightbox and imageblock. How do I do that?

I got my imageblock running, simply by:
{g->block type="imageblock.ImageBlock" blocks="recentImage" exactSize=320}

and I can have a lightbox running by adding the rel to a link as in:
<a href="" rel="lightbox[photos]">

But how do i combine those two?

Thank you!

You can either edit gallery2/modules/imageblock/templates/blocks/ImageBlock.tpl

Or use mediaBlock with which others have done the same.

Also you can have jQuery add the class to your selector before the lightbox script executes.

Hi, thanks for the swift reply.

I dont know if I'm asking you too much but:

if I add the rel="lightbox" to the ImageBlock.tpl the lightbox keeps on loading without showing the image (meaning it can't find the image, the actual goal, as it is not cleary specified I guess).

right now the link is:
<a href="{$linkHref}"{if !empty($ImageBlockData.linkTarget)} target="{$ImageBlockData.linkTarget}"{/if} rel="lightbox">

should I change the href statement? to what?

thanks again!

The problem is that gallery links the image to the image's page in gallery, not simply the image.

try editing gallery2/modules/imageblock/templates/ImageBlock.tpl line 13-14:

      {g->url arg1="view=core.ShowItem" arg2="itemId=`$block.id`"
	      forceFullUrl=$ImageBlockData.forceFullUrl}

to:

      {g->url arg1="view=core.DownloadItem" arg2="itemId=`$block.id`"
	      forceFullUrl=true}

don't forget to clear your template cache

Yes yes master! It did the trick. Got to resize the shown item now, but for now I'll try to find out how myself. Its a learning process anyway! :-)

Thanks mate!
