lightbox hacked into phpAlbum (instructions)
LightBox was just so easy to set up. :) Here's how I made it work with phpAlbum (note: this is a hack, so subsequent updates to the program probably will break these changes ... if that happens, you will probably only need to repeat the change to the "main.php" file, which is easy enough to do).
1)
created three directories in the phpAlbum directory:
./js
./css
./images
and put the related LightBox files in their respective directories. You can download these from:
http://www.huddletogether.com/projects/lightbox2
2)
main.php
change any code that says:
cmd=imageview
to:
cmd=image
3)
themes/Borders/album.tpl.php (or whatever theme you're using)
added these four lines to the <head> section:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/lightbox.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />
<script src="js/prototype.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="js/scriptaculous.js?load=effects" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="js/lightbox.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
4)
themes/Borders/album.tpl.php
added text into <a href...> tag:
rel="lightbox[album]"
this worked great, except
this worked great, except how do i get it to show $long_desc as the title?

themes/Borders/album.tpl.php
added text into tag:
rel="lightbox[album]"
But the next post says do this instead
You need to change the thmb.tpl.php file.
The code should look like this:
" rel="lightbox[<? print $dir_name; ?>]">">
Im confused because my thmb.tpl.php file looks like this
">" class="thmb" src="/<? print $thmb_link; ?>"/>
Can anybody help me set this up I'l give you rights to my server if need be.
Thanks In advance,

Nice hack :)
I did not tested it yet but it looks interesting. I changed your post so one can click on that lightbox page link.
Patrik
problem
Originally, this did not work for me at all. Then I realized that the link Patrik added was wrong. It should go to http://www.huddletogether.com/projects/lightbox2/ (note the added '2' on the end). I have not tested it again but now I do not have questions like "There are three js scripts that are referenced but I only downloaded one from the lightbox page!"

Actually...
You need to change the thmb.tpl.php file.
The code should look like this:
<a class="me3" href="<? print $image_view_link; ?>" rel="lightbox[<? print $dir_name; ?>]"><img class="thmb" src="<? print $thmb_link; ?>">
Lightbox
Interesting, I turned my java off to test.

$view_count Doesnt Work
When I use Lightbox (which I really like) the number of times the image is viewed doesnt add up.
Anyone know how to get this working?
Patrik, I am trying to understand how your $view_count works, but am having trouble with this. Can you explain?
Thanks, Mosley
How/ Does it work with
How/ Does it work with v.0.4.1 beta 9?
Maybe somebody can send me the files with changes or post a quick installation guide here.
Thank you

It works with the
It works with the instructions listed above. I am using beta 9 with no problems.
Mosley
No it doesn't
You go ahead and follow the directions above exactly and see how much it works.
No matter how many times I try it I get a white background with pictures that aren't clickable.
Works perfectly
It also works with the new version 0.4.1 beta 10.
Looks great!
Image View Count Not working with Lightbox
Has anyone figured out how to get the image view count working with Lightbox?
Hmm, this might be a design
Hmm, this might be a design problem. As image counting is issued when "cmd=imageview" command is posted to phpalbum. I suppose with LightBox you are not using this command only the command for displaying the image self (cmd=image).
I think i should change that because this is not good.
Patrik
It works on 0.4.1 but some modification in step 3
according to http://www.huddletogether.com/projects/lightbox2.
step 3) line 3
src="js/scriptaculous.js?load=effects"
should be
src="js/scriptaculous.js?load=effects,builder"
step 4) thmb.tpl.php file instead of album.tpl.php
and again...thx to the great script of PHPALBUM...thx
P.S. anyone know why if the cmd=imageview or imageviewnew can't work??? i don't understand by reading the script.
