Topic: Lightbox instead of open in new window

Hi, is it possible to open an image with a lightbox instead of open in a new window?
I tested serveral photo pblishing tools - thats the only feature that i missed in Showkase.

Thank you for your help

Re: Lightbox instead of open in new window

Showkase does not feature Lightbox-style functionality (and neither does Juicebox or SimpleViewer).

It is possible to open an image within a Juicebox gallery in a Lightbox-style pop-up window (please see this forum post for details) but you would need to create and upload this gallery manually (outside Showkase) and then embed it in a Showkase page.

Re: Lightbox instead of open in new window

Thank you for your answer.
I have managed to change my theme so that the Shadowbox css and js are loadet. Is there a way to configure the generation of the config.xml of a page so that the LinkURL and the linkTarget are set automatically when a album page is published?

Many thanks
Robert

Re: Lightbox instead of open in new window

You could hardcode the required linkURL and linkTarget values into the 'showkase\admin\plugins\juicebox\juiceboximage.inc.php' file by changing lines 55 and 56 to something like the following (depending on the name of your JavaScript function):

$rootElement->setAttribute('linkURL', 'javascript: func();');
$rootElement->setAttribute('linkTarget', '_self');
