Hey, I've got WordPress 2.3 and Gallery2 2.2 installed and working great; I've got the WPG2 3.0 RC1 installed - and that also seems to be working. I can't get lightbox to fire. Any ideas? |

Have you have enabled the internal lightbox script from the WPG2 options tab? If so have you turned "on" the WPG2 Tags and sidebar support?

If you have RC1, you'll want to upgrade to RC Final: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wpg2/

Ok - I've upgraded (delete all of the old 3.0 release candidate; reinstall 3.0 rc final) and I still can't get this to fire.
Reading the docs and the changelogs etc - there is no underlying dependency on another set of lightbox js; yes it's enabled on the plugin page; yes all of the js are in <foo>/plugins/wpgs/js
Is the embedded theme from here lightbox enabled: http://www.galleryembedded.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=7352
If I use another lightbox enabled theme; with the non WPG2 lightbox pieces, turning off the lightbox support - then things look ok.

Please try the latest SVN snapshot. I just made some changes that should remove a case sensitivity on the WPG2 tags. See this thread.
My first guess is that this may be the same problem you're seeing.
EDIT: It turned out that the other problem was not a case sensitivity problem, it was just a bad link. But could you try the latest SVN snapshot anyway. Also, check your wpg2header.php file to see if there are any "unneeded" lines, as lebaige noted here.

No joy.
Do you (or ozgreg) have an updated wordpressembedded theme - and just to confirm - does that directly support lightbox?

Evilzenscientist,
I think I just corrected another error in the lightbox URL generation. Please try the latest SVN snapshot again.
I don't have a lightbox enabled theme availble. Ozgreg may. He should be online soon, since it's 7:15 am in Melbourne.

WordpressEmbedded Theme is Lightbox aware, however it has a problem with the detection of mimetypes and blindly applies lightbox tags to everything. I not solved this issue yet as it is a lower priority to bug fixing and documentation

Latest from svn worked.
Now the theme only throws up the largest version of the photo. Any pointers - I'm happy to go fix this one myself in the theme.
Feel free to mail me.

It is way Gallery2 stores the resized images, I have a fix in WPG2 for this but not applied the fix yet to the WordpressEmbedded Gallery2 theme. I have a bug ticket open against this, but it is a little down the list..

ozgreg
let me know if there's anything I can do on this; give me some pointers and I'm happy to look at it.

unfortunately it is code based, basically the selection logic in theme.inc cannot handle resized images being out of order and needs a mime type detection, unfortunately it is not a drop in and replace from WPG2 change as some of the function calls are either different or in the case of mimetype, not supported..

How about cheating until the rest of it is fixed on the gallery2 side.
I'm sure most people want a lightbox image of say around 1024x1024-ish. I can see the size selection logic in theme.inc. I'm going to hack around with this to pop up a mid-sized image for my stuff in the interim.
I'll post changes back.

Quick and dirty hack; here's an updated theme.inc that 'works for me'.

... and for my images I used:
$lboxMaxEdge = 1025;
to make sure it worked for the resize options in the gallery.
Hope this helps a few people.
